What Are Fire Shutters And Curtains
Fire shutters and fire curtains are engineered barriers that compartmentalise buildings during a fire. Constructed from fire-rated steel or high-performance textile, they deploy automatically to contain heat, smoke and flame, helping to maintain protected escape routes and limit fire spread.
Linked to detection systems, they activate only when needed, remaining discreet when raised. Correctly specified and maintained, they support compliance with building regulations and insurance requirements, offering robust protection for new builds, refurbishments and complex sites.
Fire Shutter and Curtain Services
We provide an end-to-end service: survey, design, specification, supply, installation and lifecycle support. Our team ensures the right fire rating, headroom, and interface with alarms and building management systems. We commission every unit, test safety functions, and provide certificates and O&M documentation.
Planned maintenance programmes keep equipment compliant and reliable, while rapid repair call-outs minimise downtime. Whether a single opening or a multi-zone project, we deliver practical, standards-driven solutions.
Made To Measure Design
Every opening and risk profile is different. We survey on site, confirm clearances and headroom, and design to required fire ratings and duty cycles.
Designs consider escape routes, aesthetics, signage and interfaces, producing drawings and specifications for smooth approval and installation.
Supply and Installation
We supply quality-assured fire shutters and curtains with tested components and documented traceability. Installations are planned to minimise disruption, coordinated with other trades, and delivered by trained engineers.
We fix, align, wire and commission to specification, ensuring reliable operation from day one.
Servicing And Maintenance
Regular servicing sustains compliance and performance. Our maintenance visits include inspection, lubrication, operational checks, descent-rate testing and reset procedures.
We record findings, advise on wear and parts, and schedule remedials before issues escalate, extending equipment life and reducing unexpected failures.
Safety Testing And Certificates
We carry out statutory testing in line with relevant standards and site procedures. Tests verify alarm interfaces, controlled descent, hold-open devices, signage and manual override performance.
On completion, we issue test certificates and update asset logs, supporting audits, insurers and compliance records.
Repairs And Call Outs
If a fault occurs, our engineers diagnose quickly and repair on site where possible. We carry common parts, can source replacements fast, and make safe any damaged openings.
Clear reporting explains cause, remedy and prevention, keeping downtime low and safety standards high.
Warranty And Aftercare
New installations include a defined warranty, backed by responsive aftercare. We provide user guidance, owner training on weekly checks, and priority support for warranty issues.
Optional service plans lock in scheduled maintenance, discounted parts and compliance reminders for worry-free ownership.
Where Fire Shutters And Curtains Are Used
These systems suit a wide range of buildings and sectors. In retail and leisure, they protect malls, food courts and atria. In education and healthcare, they secure corridors and vertical openings while preserving day-to-day access. In logistics and manufacturing, they compartmentalise production lines and warehouse zones.
Offices and mixed-use developments use them to protect lobbies, lift cores and service risers. Bespoke designs address heritage sites and constrained refurbishments without compromising aesthetics.
