The Mini Fire Rated Shutters are designed with Ferco's commitment to excellence in fire protection, ensuring optimal safety even in challenging situations.

The temperature of a fire raging through a building can easily exceed 1100 degrees C. Traditional un-insulated steel roller shutters can deploy and create "fire compartmentalization," but at these high temperatures, they turn red hot and emit intense radiated heat on the other side.

This can lead to combustible materials igniting on the opposite side and severely injuring individuals attempting to escape. This underscores the need for an insulated fire shutter, preventing the temperature of the shutter on the non-fire side from exceeding hazardous levels. This ensures the safe passage of individuals in front of the shutter during an escape and prevents the ignition of combustible materials.

Features

• Single-layer steel panels without fabric components.
• Compact guide rail without the need for an air gap.
• Can be operated routinely as a security shutter.
• Approved by Civil Defense.
• Tested to EN 1634-1:2014 and SS489:2015.

Why Choose Ferco’s IFSS?

• Steel Panels Enhanced Security : The IFSS is constructed from interlocking steel panels, enabling daily operation as a security shutter. Other products incorporate fabric elements that tear after a few uses, appearing unattractive and raising security concerns.
• Incredibly Slim Guide Rail : In contrast to other insulated fire shutter guide rails that demand significant space due to two thick fabric blankets with an air gap, the IFSS features a compact insulated guide rail of just 150mm x 180mm. This provides more room and clearance for everyday operations.

Our Insulated Vertical Fire Rated Rolling Double Skin Shutters are vertical rolling shutters constructed from interlocked galvanized steel lath sections. These shutters are more commonly used in warehouses, factories, industrial units, and loading areas with large openings or strict demands for security.

They can be motorized operated and can be fitted with optional extras to provide additional wind and rain resistance where necessary.
