Fire roller shutters and fire curtains are critical for containing fire and smoke, helping to protect people, property and escape routes.
Southern Industrial Doors supplies and installs fire-rated shutters that help:
- Section off buildings during a fire
- Protect escape routes and stairwells
- Limit smoke spread between areas
- Support compliance with UK fire safety regulations
- Reduce damage and business disruption
These systems are commonly installed in commercial buildings, warehouses, industrial units, retail centres and car parks across the South of England.
Fire roller shutters installed by Southern Industrial Doors are designed to activate automatically when a fire is detected.
When triggered:
- A signal is received from the fire alarm or detection system
- The shutter closes in a controlled manner
- Gravity-fed or battery-backed systems ensure closure even during power failure
- Audible and visual warnings may activate prior to descent
This automatic operation ensures rapid containment when it matters most.
Fire roller shutters can be triggered by multiple safety mechanisms, including:
- Integration with the building’s fire alarm system
- Smoke or heat detectors
- Thermal fusible links that activate at high temperatures
- Manual emergency activation points
All fire shutter systems installed by Southern Industrial Doors comply with relevant UK standards, including BS EN 1634 and BS 9999.
