Why Might a Building Require Fire Resistant Shutters?
Fire-Resistant roller shutters and doors are designed to delay the onset of or block the spread of fire. There are various fire resistant security products, all with different purposes. However there are common purposes that they all share which could be beneficial for your retail or industrial property in West Yorkshire. Excel Roller Shutters have created a list of reasons as to the type of building or business you may have, and why it would be a good idea to install fire resistant roller shutters.
Kitchens and Canteens:
Community centres, churches, schools and colleges often have canteens integrated within the premises. In a rare occasion, a fire could break out when the canteen is not in use but occupants are still in the building. Having fire resistant shutters installed could contribute to containing the fire. Additionally, they are installed with safety features, such as a gearbox, that responds to a fire signal by engaging a controlled descent.
Hot, heavy, electric machinery:
Industrial buildings or manufacturers throughout the region may be equipped with hot and heavy machinery that need to be maintained under specific temperatures. Again, leaving nothing to chance, having fire resistant shutters installed either on entrance or exit to the property could provide that extra safety in emergencies.
Withholds flammable materials:
Some buildings could keep flammable liquids or materials; this could be as a wholesaler, or for distribution. It is vitally important that flammable materials are handled correctly and that contingencies are put in place should an accident happen.
Adhere to Fire Safety Regulation:
Finally, having fire-resistant shutters installed on your property can help you commit to the required regulations for buildings. In addition to this, by safeguarding your property, you may also be contributing to reducing your insurance premium.
