Shutter questions from Ballyclare businesses
Q.What is the difference between a security shutter and a fire shutter?
A security shutter resists forced entry. A fire shutter is a rated closure designed to hold a fire compartment for a specified period and is tested and certified as such. They are not interchangeable.
Q.Do you cover units around Ballyclare Business Park?
Yes, Ballyclare Business Park and the surrounding Ballyclare commercial area are on our regular service routes.
Q.Are they electrically operated?
Most are, with a key switch or internal control, plus a manual override for power failure. Small openings can be manual with a spring balance.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Ballyclare where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.Do fire shutters need testing?
Yes. A fire shutter should be tested and its operation documented on a scheduled basis, and we include that in maintenance contracts across Ballyclare.
Q.What happens after an attempted break-in?
We attend, secure the opening, then quote repair or curtain replacement. Damaged laths can often be swapped individually rather than replacing the whole curtain.
