Fire-rated shutters, Larne (BT40)
Ro-ro terminals and quayside sheds where a stuck door blocks a scheduled sailing.
12-month warranty plus optional planned maintenance across BT40.
Fire-rated curtains are a different product entirely, tested and certified for a stated period.
Larne is reached via the A2 and A8 to M2, which suits out-of-hours install slots.
Shopfronts, units and compartment openings in BT40
Ferry traffic through Larne Harbour never really stops, so dock-side door downtime is the number one call-out reason here. It's why a templated quote for Larne usually misses something.
Most of the commercial work we do around Larne lands inside Larne Harbour Estate and Willowbank Business Park. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.
Larne sits 22 mi from Belfast and 40 mi from our Dromore yard via the A2 (with A8 to M2 access).

Shutter questions from Larne businesses
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 Larne.
Q.Can we keep the window display visible in Larne?
Yes. Punched vision lath or a brick-bond grille keeps the display readable overnight while still presenting a physical barrier.
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.
Q.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Larne and the wider BT40 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
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.
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.
