Fire-Rated Shutters: What UK Law Requires

Fire-Rated Shutters: What UK Law Requires 15 Jun 2026 · Guides

Fire safety regulations in the UK require many commercial buildings to have fire-rated compartmentalisation, and roller shutters are often part of that strategy.

Fire-rated shutters are tested to specific time ratings (commonly 60 or 120 minutes) during which they must maintain structural integrity and prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments.

Installation must be carried out by a certified specialist and the shutter must be regularly tested to remain compliant. Non-compliant installations can invalidate insurance and put lives at risk.
