Previously, an expansive caravan storage facility, the warehouse was redeveloped and refurbished, and now comprises 22 individual industrial units. A total of 25 Fire rated shutters were installed and fitted to a mixture of rigid and flexible structures within the units, providing an obtrusive and aesthetically pleasing security and fire containment solution. Each shutter was supplied with a fire door interface panel which was connected to the fire alarm, to enable the actuation of a powered controlled descent of the shutter by a 240v AC tubular motor. An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) / battery backup - which is a standard feature of the door - was also provided to ensure that the shutters will still close even in the event of a mains power failure. It was specified that the shutters were powder coated in a Strawberry Red (RAL3018) finish which offers a contrast in a vibrant, yet unusual colour scheme. Alliances Fire shutters can be powder coated in a wide range of colour options to a RAL or BS colour. Alliance’s fire shutter design has been successfully furnace tested on both a rigid (masonry or steel) and a flexible (timber stud) structure. The design meets the essential characteristics of BS EN 16034:2014 and BS EN 13241:1:2003, providing peace of mind to Alliance’s customers that the fire shutters they manufacture are of the highest quality and are fully compliant with the latest British Standards. Now in its 20th year of trading, Alliance Doors manufacture and supplies to the trade a comprehensive range of industrial doors and shutters, including fire-rated roller shutters, folding doors, rapid roll doors and insulated shutters and traditional single-skin roller shutters.
