Fire is dangerous and chaotic, but with fire roller shutters, you can keep flames contained where they start. These industrial-style shutters can hold back fire for up to four hours, allowing occupants time to escape and helping to minimize the losses associated with property damage. These doors are UL-tested and approved, making them the ideal choice for cafeterias, kitchen windows, concession stands and other wall openings where you need fire-rated protection.

When a fire triggers the alarm, these rolling steel fire shutter doors will close by the operation of a fusible link placed at certain points along a wire rope that holds tension on the closing device. When the fusible link softens in the heat of a fire, it releases the tension and allows the door to close.

Optimizing Fire Safety with Reliable Fire Roller Shutters

Depending on the level of protection you require, you can choose between models with fire ratings of 45 minutes, 1.5 hours, three hours, or four hours. These ratings are determined by testing the shutters under a specific set of conditions, so be sure to select the right model for your business.

As an added safety measure, a standard electric fire shutter includes a fail-safe that allows the brake to release if power is cut. This feature ensures the shutter will drop closed from its weight if power is lost due to a power or backup battery failure or fire damage. Adding the option of a manual crank system to your motor-driven fire shutters gives you even more options for operating your shutters during a power loss.
