Bolton Gate Company has expanded its range of passive fire-resistant products with the introduction of the Four-Hour Fire-Resistant Horizontal Shutter. This bespoke shutter provides up to four hours of fire integrity, offering a reliable solution for closing openings up to 15m in length and 6m in width. Ideal for environments requiring fire compartmentation, such as the nuclear industry, factory hoist wells, and plant room covers, the shutter provides crucial separation without compromising safety or functionality.

The shutter is electrically operated via a 400V three-phase motor and is activated in the event of a fire, with a timed delay before closing. Constructed from heavy-duty curved galvanised steel laths, the curtain is supported by fabricated guide channels and a strong drive chain to ensure smooth operation. The shutter is custom-built and pre-wired in their Bolton factory to simplify installation.

The bespoke shutter is ideally suited to provide fire integrity compartmentation where equipment or materials need to be transferred between floors. Alternatively, it can be used on travelators and escalator openings that are not specifically used as part of the fire exit strategy.

Key Features:

• Up to four-hour fire integrity (E240 rating)
• Custom-made, robust design
• Surface mounted or underslung options
• Electric motor with emergency hand crank operation
• Suitable for both fire and non-fire rated applications

This fire-resistant shutter is an essential safety feature, providing a barrier between floors or safety-critical areas while allowing equipment transfer in controlled environments. Bolton Gate's Horizontal Fire Shutter is a versatile and high-performance solution for a wide range of applications.
