Shutters & security
Fire-rated shutters
Fire-rated shutters are certified fire shutters and curtains for compartment lines. We supply and fit them across the Midlands, with a free survey and a written price first.
How it is made
It is certified as a complete assembly, so the curtain, guides, motor and control gear all have to match the test evidence. Where anything is fitted to the outside of the building, we check whether planning consent is needed first.
Why Shopfront Shutters
