Fire Shutters for Doorways – Rigid Structures

Our Fire Shutters for Doorways (Rigid Structures) are fully tested and certified for installation onto masonry, concrete, and protected structural steel supporting constructions. This makes them the ideal solution for corridors, fire escape routes, storage rooms, kitchens, commercial units, and any doorway where the surrounding structure is a solid, non-flexible substrate.

Designed only for openings when the shutter goes down to the floor.  This system has been independently tested specifically as a doorway installation on rigid construction. This provides guaranteed acceptance by Building Control, Fire Officers, and Approved Inspectors, ensuring full compliance with all relevant fire-safety standards.

The product is available with a 60-minute (E60), 90minute (E90), 120minute (E120) and 240minute (E240) fire integrity rating, allowing you to meet the fire strategy requirements of most commercial and public buildings.
