Compact Fire Rated Roller Shutter - Timber Stud Wall

Key Features – Compact Fire Shutter for Flexible Stud Wall Construction
 

Security Features

• Durable Galvanised Steel Curtain – Manufactured from high-strength galvanised steel, providing reliable physical protection for internal applications such as kitchen serveries, reception counters, classrooms, and retail units.
• Reinforced Stability – Fitted with precision-engineered galvanised steel “T” bottom rails and U-shaped guide channels (65mm, 75mm, or 100mm) for smooth and stable operation, even under high heat exposure.
• Concealed Drive Mechanism – Operated by a single-phase tubular motor housed internally within the barrel for a clean aesthetic, quiet function, and reduced risk of tampering.

Safety Features

• Independently Tested & Certified – Fully tested to BS EN 1634-1:2014 + A1:2018 and certified under BS EN 16034:2014, providing compliant fire protection for non-load-bearing and flexible wall systems.
• Fire Integrity Rating – Up to 90 Minutes (E90) – Proven performance for timber stud partitions, meeting stringent UK and EU standards for compartmentation.
• High-Performance Curtain Design – Constructed from 75mm curved interlocking steel slats, in 0.7mm or 0.9mm thickness depending on size and fire rating, ensuring stable descent and containment under fire conditions.
• Fail-Safe Fire Operation – Integrated fire alarm interface triggers automatic closure on activation, supported by battery backup for operation during power loss and manual override for emergency use.
• Enhanced Control Options – Compatible with audio-visual warning panels, emergency release switches, and staged or delayed descent systems for added safety and compliance with BS EN 12604:2017 + A1:2020.

Fire Safety & Construction Requirements
