Fire-Rated Shutters

A Fire Rated Shutter is a specialized, motorized rolling door system engineered to provide a physical barrier against the spread of fire and smoke for a specified duration, typically 60, 120, or 240 minutes. Unlike standard roller shutters, these systems are constructed using interlocking galvanized steel slats with internal insulation and specialized side guides designed to maintain structural integrity under extreme heat. Upon activation by a fire alarm system, smoke detector, or dedicated thermal sensor, the shutter automatically descends in a controlled manner, sealing off the opening. This compartmentalization is crucial for limiting damage, protecting exit routes, and allowing emergency services valuable time to respond. Our fire shutter Dubai installations are fully integrated with building management systems (BMS) and feature fail-safe gravity descent mechanisms, ensuring closure even during power failure, adhering strictly to civil defense requirements.

Choosing the right fire safety solution is critical. Our certified fire-rated shutters offer unparalleled protection and compliance for businesses across the UAE:

• Certified Fire Protection: Our shutters are rigorously tested and certified to international standards (UL, EN, BS), providing guaranteed integrity and insulation ratings (E and EI) essential for meeting stringent UAE Civil Defense regulations.
• Automatic Fail-Safe Operation: Equipped with advanced motor systems and battery backup, the shutters ensure controlled, automatic descent upon alarm activation, even if the primary power source is compromised. This guarantees rapid, reliable sealing of the protected zone.
• Smoke and Heat Containment: Beyond fire resistance, the specialized design minimizes the passage of smoke and hot gases, which are often the primary cause of casualties. This dual protection is vital for life safety.
• Durability and Longevity: Constructed from heavy-duty galvanized steel, these shutters are built to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of the UAE, offering exceptional operational lifespan with minimal maintenance.
• Seamless Integration: Designed for easy integration with existing or new building management systems (BMS), fire alarm panels, and access control infrastructure, simplifying system management and ensuring coordinated emergency response.

Our fire safety shutters are essential for any facility in the UAE requiring robust compartmentalization and passive fire protection. Key applications include:

• Commercial Buildings & Malls: Securing large atrium openings, escalators, retail units, and food court areas to prevent fire spread between floors or zones.
• Industrial & Logistics: Protecting loading docks, conveyor openings, and critical storage areas in warehouses and distribution centers across Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port.
• Transportation Hubs: Used extensively in airports (e.g., Dubai International, Abu Dhabi International) and metro stations to secure maintenance areas and control public access during emergencies.
• Healthcare & Education: Installed in hospitals and universities to protect corridors, server rooms, and vital infrastructure, ensuring patient and student safety.
• Data Centers & Server Rooms: Crucial for isolating high-value equipment and minimizing downtime caused by internal fire incidents.
• Basement Parking and Service Areas: Sealing off access points to prevent smoke and fire migration throughout the structure. Our solutions meet the specific safety standards required by municipalities across the Emirates.

Compliance is the cornerstone of effective fire safety. Our fire rated shutters are supplied with comprehensive certification to assure performance under extreme conditions. Key certifications include: UL (Underwriters Laboratories), recognized globally, confirming rigorous testing for fire endurance and hose stream performance. EN (European Norms) 1634-1 and BS (British Standards), providing clear ratings for integrity (E) and insulation (EI). Furthermore, all installations adhere strictly to local Dubai Civil Defense (DCD) and relevant Abu Dhabi Civil Defense requirements, ensuring municipal approval. We also maintain ISO 9001 certification for quality management, demonstrating our commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality safety solutions throughout the UAE.
