Moreover, at Ashley Roller Door, we provide fire-rated shutter solutions to protect people, property, and businesses across the UK. However, they block fire and smoke for up to 60, 120, or 240 minutes of fire resistance level. This gives people more time to evacuate and protects your buildings, and can even save lives.

Our company offers more stylish and functional fire-rated shutters with powder-coated finishes to match your branding or external design.
