Fire Shutters are a increasingly popular security product with Cheshire customers and offer fire protection at up to four hours greater than would be the case for a standard door or roller shutter. They can be used to portion off and protect a particular part of a building, the whole building, or even provide protection between floors (horizontal fire shutters).
There are three main methods of automatic operation. A fusible link involves the use of solder as connection in the circuit: heat radiated from a nearby fire causes the solder to melt and this activates the door.
A Fire Relay means that the shutter or door is connected to the fire alarm system: when the alarm is sounded, the shutter or door activates. Finally, a delayed Audio/Visual Warning used in connection with the Shutter is connected to the alarm system, and operates usually with a time delay very similarly to a fire relay. During this delay an additional alarm is sounded, warning those in close proximity to the Fire Shutter door that is about to close, thus allowing them to exit the affected area.

Fire Shutters help many Cheshire businesses to ensure that they protect their goods, buildings and employees from the threat of fire by offering potentially significant delays to the spread of fire.
If you are a Cheshire business owner and take the security and safety of your business, premises and staff seriously, you may be surprised to know that every year many businesses are forced to close as insurance companies often refuse to meet claims because building regulations and Loss Prevention Council requirements have not been met in relation to fire spread. A Fire Shutter is the best way to ensure that this never happens to you.
Building regulations require that openings in fire resisting walls or partitions must have a door with an equivalent fire rating to that of the wall or partition.
Westwood Roller Doors are the perfect Security Shutters for Shop Shutters and other commercial applications. We also supply Fire Rated Shutters at competitive prices.
