Engineered for Fire Protection & Compliance
Fire-rated roller shutters are designed to automatically deploy in the event of a fire, creating a barrier that limits fire spread and protects escape routes, assets, and structural elements.
Our systems provide:
- Fire resistance for specified durations (30 to 240 minutes)
- Automatic activation via fire alarm integration
- Robust steel curtain construction
- Failsafe closing mechanisms
- Compliance with fire safety regulations and building standards
- Reliable operation in high-risk environments
These shutters are widely used across commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses, and public infrastructure.
