Many businesses can benefit from investing in fireproof roller shutters from Fireshutters. The following guide explains exactly what fire shutters are, why you may need them and how you can get them.
What are industrial fire shutters?
Fire shutters are roller shutters that are designed to help contain fires. They are different from security shutters in that they are primarily fire-resistant, as well as having an automatic closing function in the event of a fire (a function which is not permitted on security shutters).
Security shutters can help to contain fires, but are more likely to melt and break under the heat. Fire rated shutters can sometimes withstand hours in a fire.
Some fire shutters have a better fire resistant level (FRL) than others. Low-end fire shutters may last 30 minutes while high-end fire shutters such as those made in Sydney by Fireshutters can withstand a fire for up to 120 minutes (2 hours). In all cases, having such shutters installed will help to momentarily stop the spread of fire, which helps to prevent damage and protect people’s lives while giving fire services more time to respond.
Why do I need fire shutters?
Buildings with furnaces, cooking facilities, or other fire-using machinery may need fire shutters (see council requirements). They are frequently used to divide the dining area from the kitchen in canteens.
Fire retardant shutters can still benefit the majority of businesses, even though they are less common in other kinds of business spaces. Almost any property can experience an electrical fire. There might be ways to block off specific hallways to promote a safe escape, even though you might not always be able to find the most likely source.
You can facilitate fire services' response to a fire by limiting its spread. Less damage will be done if the fire isn't spreading, possibly preventing your entire company from literally catching fire. Above all, fire shutters can save the lives of workers, clients, and other individuals who might be inside a building by giving people more time to leave.
