Fire Shutters

Fire shutters are fire-resistant roller shutters designed to help contain fire and smoke within a building. They are installed across openings in fire compartment walls and can close automatically when a fire is detected, helping to limit the spread of fire and smoke and protect occupants and property. B&B Doors manufactures and installs bespoke fire shutters for commercial, industrial and public buildings in Cardiff, South Wales and across the UK.

B&B fire shutters are available with 1, 2 and 4-hour fire resistance ratings, allowing the specification to be matched to the requirements of different areas of a building. B&B’s face-fixed fire-resisting roller shutters have been tested and assessed by LPC Borehamwood to provide up to four hours of fire protection in accordance with BS 476 Part 22:1987.

B&B fire shutters have been tested and assessed by LPC Borehamwood in accordance with BS 476 Part 22:1987, with models providing up to four hours of fire resistance. The appropriate fire shutter specification will depend on the building, opening and fire protection requirements, so professional advice should be obtained when selecting a system.

Fire shutters can be integrated with existing fire alarm and detection systems so that they automatically deploy when a fire is detected. B&B also offers control features including battery backup and audio and visual closing warnings to support safe operation.

B&B fire shutters can be face-fixed directly to conventional openings, which can simplify installation and reduce the need for additional structural supports or double-shutter arrangements. Each shutter consists of components including a motor barrel, shutter box, fire-resistant curtain, guides and bottom rail, with the system tailored to the individual opening.

B&B Doors can manufacture and install fire shutters up to 7 metres wide by 7 metres high. Each shutter is bespoke manufactured to suit the size, layout and requirements of the opening.

The cost of a fire shutter will depend on factors including the size of the opening, required fire resistance rating, shutter construction, control system and installation requirements. As B&B fire shutters are bespoke, the cost will vary between projects. B&B Doors can provide advice and a quotation based on the specific requirements of your building in Cardiff, South Wales or elsewhere in the UK.
