Servery Fire Shutter – Rigid Structure

Our Servery Fire Shutters for Rigid Structures are specifically tested and certified for installation onto masonry, concrete, and structural steel supporting constructions. This makes them the ideal choice for kitchens, school canteens, cafés, bars, receptions, and commercial serveries where the surrounding structure is a solid, non-flexible substrate.

Unlike many servery shutters on the market, this system has been independently tested as a servery opening on rigid construction, ensuring full compliance with certification requirements and guaranteed acceptance by Building Control and Fire Officers.

The shutter is available with 60-minute minute fire integrity ratings, allowing you to select the correct level of protection based on your fire strategy and site requirements.
