SWGD offers a range of Hormann fire shutters, which are perfect for allowing you to have large open doorway that can be easily opened and closed, while helping towards minimising the spread of a fire.

Fire shutters minimise the damage caused by closing automatically in the event of a fire by leaving no gap underneath for fire to spread through. Fire shutters offer a fire protection rating so you know they are designed to help protect your business so to ensure that the fire service has more time to stop the fire.

Fire shutters are perfect for a range of locations, such as kitchens, and can be located near the fire escape routes to ensure people can escape safely for a longer period of time. Fire shutters can be designed to offer either one or two hours of protection, depending on your requirements. The shutters can be used alongside your business' current fire detection system and SWGD can supply a user interface to bring both systems together, so when your fire alarms are set off your fire shutters will also shut. Fire shutters can also be used in a standalone system if required, so you can have the shutter close separately to the rest of your shutters.

Fire shutters work in the same way a normal industrial shutter would work, however they are made of materials that are designed to slow the speed of the fire. When the door reaches the temperature of 68 degrees centigrade the shutter will automatically close by itself so to ensure it will always close when there is a fire and it will close at a safe rate so that no one gets injured by the closing shutter.

Fire shutters can be also used as a normal industrial shutter as they can be opened and closed at any time when there is no fire.
