Fire Shutters, Fire Curtains Applications

It's a sign of the evolving nature of commercial buildings that fire safety is now a primary element in building design. But it's no longer enough to include bolt-on safety measures.

Most businesses consider carefully how to protect their premises from intruders and vandalism, but many overlook the extensive damage that fire can cause. Installing a high-quality fire shutter could enable you to kill two birds with one stone.

While some roller fire shutters can make your business look unattractive and unwelcoming, others are custom-made to protect your property without becoming an eyesore. The level of fire protection also varies from a one-hour fire rating to a four-hour fire rating.

If you're considering installing a security barrier inside a building, have you considered opting for a fire shutter?

Fire protection is paramount in designing today's work spaces and industrial premises. It's one of the few things that takes precedence even over security.

Of course, many industrial doors and closures can deal with fire safety and security concerns at the same time. But the parallel requirements can lead to some confusion. Should you specify high performance, high security fire shutters throughout? Or would a fire curtain be a better choice in some locations?
