A fire shutter can prevent the spread of a fire by up to 4 hours when compared to your typical shutter. The time frame is significant in helping to ensure people get out of the building safely and reducing the damage that fire can cause. Shutters can be used to section off and protect particular parts of a building, the whole building and even provide protection between floors with horizontal fire shutters.

Typically fire shutters are made from mild steel lath of varying thickness, with the thickest providing the highest level of protection. However, all of our fire shutters, along with the guides, canopies, flags and L rail, are made from 22 gauge-galvanised steel. This means that our shutters are long lasting, effective solutions that you can trust. Whatever your needs and space within your building we can create a fire shutter solution for you.
