RHIDOOR builds fire rated roller shutter doors in a few materials: steel, inorganic fabric, vertical steel, and side-coiling steel. Most buyers don’t know much about how these differ, so let’s walk through the fire rated roller shutter materials before you spec one.
Where fire rated roller shutters are used
These shutters work in both industrial and civilian buildings. Think malls, hotels, warehouses, exhibition halls, archives, theaters, stations, ports, underground works, and any public space that needs a movable fire barrier. They block fire spread and cut the damage a fire causes — which is why they’ve become standard equipment in modern buildings.
What fire rated roller shutters are made of
The vertical steel fire rated roller shutter is built to national and industry standards. Steel makes up the curtain, the rails, the bottom bar, the lintel, and the housing, with a fire roller and control box. Together they meet fire-resistance and heat limits.
Applications
Use these shutters for fire separation in industrial and civilian buildings.
Features
The vertical steel shutter runs three ways: electric, manual, and auto-close. The control box carries smoke and heat sensors, works on its own, and also links to the fire control system. It handles opening, closing, and the two-stage descent on its own. During a fire it slides down and closes, isolating the fire zone.
Specs at a glance
- Opening and closing speed: 2–9 m/min
- Power: 3-phase, 380V, 50Hz
Main functions:
- Button control for up and down, with auto-stop at the upper and lower limits.
- On a smoke signal, the door drops to the midpoint and holds, then closes after a 60-second delay. Or the smoke signal drops it to the midpoint as a smoke curtain, and a heat signal drops it the rest of the way.
- Network link to the fire control room for remote control, with door position reported back.
- A thermal release device closes the door automatically during a fire, even if the power is out.
- Pulling the manual quick-release drops the steel shutter.
- Fire ratings: 1.5h, 2.0h, 3.0h, and 4.0h.
