New Technical Spec Requirements for Fire Rated Shutters

RHIDOOR compiled these new specification requirements so you can read a fire rated roller shutter quote with confidence. They split into steel shutter requirements and inorganic-fabric shutter requirements. The inorganic-fabric list below is what we apply on premium builds; the steel list follows the same discipline.

Fire Rated Shutter Specifications: Inorganic-Fabric Build

  1. Curtain fabric. Raw materials meet health and environmental rules, with no banned substances.
  2. Curtain face, drum, and fixings. Standard technical requirements apply to each.
  3. The inorganic composite curtain face must not wrap the drum directly. It links through fixings.
  4. Rails and embedded steel. Rails fix firmly on site; embedded steel sits 600–1000 mm apart. On vertical shutters, rail verticality error against the base stays at or under 1.5 mm per meter and 20 mm over full length.
  5. Lintel and embedded steel. Fitted firmly, with embedded steel 600–1000 mm apart.
  6. Bottom bar. It runs parallel to the floor with even contact, and its stiffness exceeds the curtain face with a firm connection.
  7. Drive. Sprockets, chain, and bearings built to spec. Roller chain and sprocket dimensions and tolerances follow standard chain specs; static strength and the chosen safety factor stay above 4. Drive, bearing, and chain surfaces are free of rust, with proper lubricant. On a vertical shutter, drum deflection in normal use stays below 1/400 of drum length. A side-coiling shutter drum stands perpendicular to the base, with verticality error below 1.5 mm per meter and below 5 mm over full length.
