Fire shutters are a must-have if you deal with flammable materials or are situated in a high-risk fire area. These shutters are compliant with BE EN 1634-1 and are designed to close automatically in the event of a fire, preventing it from spreading throughout the rest of the building. Fire shutters can also be integrated into existing fire and security alarm systems to protect people, property, and your business during a fire outbreak.
Hart fire-resistant shutters withstand fires from 30 to 240 minutes and are manufactured to meet high standards, building regulations and insurance requirements. Fire shutters operate by automatically sensing fire and smoke before closing the curtain to compartmentalise the building, slowing the spread of the fire — buying staff valuable time to evacuate. These doors not only save money, time, and potentially live, but they help to get businesses back in operation after a fire event, minimising damage.
Regulations relating to fire doors and shutters specifically have also been improved in recent years, and greater emphasis has been placed on existing requirements and regulations as well. It’s essential these are closely adhered to in order to avoid further disasters and loss of life. Here, we help you understand the regulations and requirements around fire safety shutters so you can make sure your building is safe.
We know some of these fire door and shutter regulations and requirements can be complicated to understand, but they are all essential to ensure products do the jobs they are designed to do, and to avoid further disasters like the Grenfell Tower fire. As a consumer, the main takeaway is that products are better regulated and there are stricter fire safety requirements in place to protect you, which is positive progress.
