The Servery Fire Shutter for Flexible Structures is a fully tested fire protection system specifically designed for installation into timber stud partition walls, providing a compliant solution where traditional masonry substrates are not available. This system has been rigorously tested as a complete assembly, including the shutter, timber stud substrate, and cill detail in accordance with BS EN 1634-1, achieving fire resistance classifications of E60 and E120 (integrity). This ensures the shutter can maintain fire compartmentation for up to 60 or 120 minutes, depending on the specification. It is important to note that this certification applies only to timber stud wall construction and does not include metal stud partitions, making correct specification essential for compliance. Designed for servery openings in environments such as commercial kitchens, kiosks, and public service counters, this shutter provides a proven barrier against the spread of fire. The system’s performance is dependent on installation into the tested substrate, including specific requirements for wall build up and cill construction, ensuring it meets UK Building Regulations and satisfies Building Control requirements. This makes it an ideal solution for projects where fire separation must be maintained within flexible structures. The system is available with two motor options to suit different opening sizes and operational requirements. Tubular motor fire shutters, typically used for smaller openings, include a comprehensive fail-safe package with battery backup, manual override, and a fire alarm relay with integrated audio-visual warning, ensuring controlled descent during a fire event. For larger openings, industrial motor fire shutters are used, featuring a fusible link, solenoid release, audio-visual warning system, and chain override for emergency operation. Together, these options provide a fully compliant, reliable, and adaptable fire shutter solution for flexible timber structures.
