The Phoenix fire shutter is a highly versatile and durable product which is designed for applications where there is need for a physical security deterrent and protection from fire. Unique features within the design make it the ideal choice for applications where a neat and unobtrusive shutter system is required such as schools, hospitals, and commercial premises. Following an audit and product test sampling by Warringtonfire, a re- developed Phoenix fire shutter was submitted to their independent test centre for re-testing of its resistance to fire. The test, which involved the shutter being fitted to a furnace and subjected to temperatures reaching up to 1000°C, saw the shutter pass the 4-hour mark with flying colours. After successfully passing the tests, the shutter design meets the essential characteristics of BS EN 16034:2014 and BS EN 13241:1:2003, and is fully compliant with the new legislation requirements. The shutter utilises a curtain assembled from sections of 2” flat lath which allows for a more compact box, reducing the head space requirement above the opening. With additional 60-minute and 240-minute integrity ratings to complement the original 120-minute rating, the Phoenix range will prove even more popular, as the compact design appeals to both the installer and end user. Alliance Doors’ Managing Director, John Hare commented: “Since its introduction to the UK market in 2007, the Phoenix fire shutter has grown in popularity year-upon-year, particularly for use in environments where an unobtrusive and more aesthetically pleasing fire resistant, shutter solution is required. The additional integrity ratings have been added after listening to customer feedback” Since 2001, Alliance Doors have been supplying the trade with their comprehensive range of industrial doors and shutters. In 2019 the organisation was awarded ISO 9001 accreditation after they underwent a detailed audit in accordance with the internationally recognised Quality Management System standard.
