Highly versatile and cost effective, Ascot Fire Rated Roller Shutters are individually designed and manufactured to suit the specific opening.
Fire Shutter curtains are constructed from high performance interlocking laths and a T-section bottom rail, running in side channels which are fixed back to the structure.
The steel curtain is hung from a high level tube barrel and rotates on high quality bearings. Polyester powder coat finish, available in most BS standard and RAL classic colours, available as an option.
Our range of Fire Rated Roller Shutter doors are designed to comply with the requirements of section 8 BS 476 : Part 22 : 1987 as tested by BRE Fire Research Centre No. TE 84510 with LPCB approval and certification for up to four hours fire protection.
Operation to suit end-user requirement is available. Manual operation, for smaller openings where no power supply is existing, can be achieved via self-coiling design suitable for manual push-up/pull down by hand.
Powered drive Roller Shutters are available to suit 1ph and 3ph supply. 3ph powered Shutters are supplied with an emergency override device (chain).
To comply with fire regulations, where local heat source exceeds 68°C, a fusible link (mounted to the underside of the hood) can be supplied, to release the motor brake which in turn allows the shutter to close under gravity.
A solenoid can be incorporated (as an option) which can be linked into the fire alarm (by others) using a 24 volt DC supply – 0.5 amp. On receipt of an incoming fire alarm signal the door will close under controlled descent. Important note regarding fire alarm signal link – if the fire alarm system utilises volt-free signals, an Audio Visual warning panel will be required.
Audio Visual warning panels can be supplied as an option, which are activated when the panel receives a fire alarm signal (volt free). The unit includes a facility for a delayed closing of the Shutter after audible and visual warning. On activation from the fire alarm, the panel flashes and omits an audible warning before the shutter closes after a pre-determined delay of between 10 and 240 seconds.
