How ‘Inferno’ Fire Rated Roller Shutters can protect your business

Fire can cause staggering damage to people, properties, and businesses.  There are various safety procedures that are commonly adopted by all to help prevent and aid in the event of a fire.  Obviously, the most destructive damage is caused when a fire cannot be contained and spreads throughout a building, or multiple buildings.  Space and land in Sydney are so valuable that owners and users of buildings alike want to get the most out of the space they have.

By installing a Thompson’s ‘Inferno’ auto-descent Fire Roller Shutter, it allows access throughout a building which would otherwise be restricted or blocked by permanent fire-proof walls.  The auto-descent feature means that the Roller Shutter can stay open at all times and will only close when either the temperature on the fusible link reaches 68°C, or when a fire alarm is tripped.

Thompson’s  Sydney ‘Inferno’ Roller Shutters are CSIRO-tested to withstand fire for both 2 and 4 hours depending on their size.  Commercial Fire Rated Roller Shutters are designed to begin descent when temperatures reach 68°C, and can be connected to smoke alarm systems for added protection.  This product has a range of options to suit your particular need:
