Shutter questions from Dromara 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.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.Do you cover units around Dromara commercial area?
Yes, Dromara commercial area and the surrounding Dromara commercial area are on our regular service routes.
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 Dromara.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Dromara where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.Will an insurer accept the shutter we fit?
Bring us the wording. We specify the curtain, guides and locking to the level the policy names, which is usually where a cheap shutter falls short.
