FAQs for Fire Doors

Q1: What’s the difference between a Fire Door and a Fire Shutter?

A fire door is a hinged or double-leaf door that provides fire compartmentation for personnel access, while a fire shutter is a roller system that closes automatically to seal larger openings like serving hatches or doorways.

Q2: How long do Fire Doors protect against fire?

Depending on the specification, our doors can provide 30 minutes to 4 hours of certified protection.

Q3: Do Fire Doors also stop smoke?

Yes, many models can be fitted with cold smoke seals or intumescent strips to stop both flames and smoke spread.

Q4: Can Fire Shutters be linked to a fire alarm system?

Absolutely — our fire control panels can connect directly to your fire alarm to trigger automatic closure in the event of an emergency.

Q5: Are Fire Doors available in custom sizes and colours?

Yes. All fire doors and shutters are made-to-measure and can be finished in any RAL colour to match your project.
