Fire Counter Shutters

Many metropolitan areas, like Brampton, Toronto and much of the GTA, have buildings that are in very close proximity. These buildings are required to comply with the Ontario Fire Code in relation to fire safety. The Fire Code requires that buildings install and maintain fire shutters in certain circumstances.

Fire roller shutters operate similarly to a standard steel roller shutters. The difference is in the construction of the fire shutters. Heavier materials and more fixings are required. The fire shutters support structure must also be fire rated to the same or greater resistance. All materials should have appropriate test certification. Fire shutters require little space and are a comparatively economical solution to providing fire separation in buildings.

All-Rite’s sales and service professionals can advise you regarding fire shutters and compliance with any fire safety requirement (Building Code, National Fire Code, National Fire Protection, building management).

Whether you require fire doors or fire shutters for a new construction project or for an upgrade/replacement for a building retrofit, All-Rite will recommend the best fire door solution for your specific needs.

Firestop Counter Tops

Known for its contemporary styling and reliable performance, All-Rite's rolling counter fire doors provide the same degree of fire protection as the full-sized rolling service fire door. As with our standard counter doors, counter fire doors are engineered with properly sized components and trim.

All-Rite's fire-rated counter tops complete the fire protection package and eliminate the "envelope" for fire to gain entry to the other side of the wall.

“Firestop" Counter Tops, tested and labeled for 1½ hour ratings on interior openings, are the only laminated, fire-rated counter tops available. For maximum fire protection, FireStop counters are recommended for use with all All-Rite's FD10 counter fire doors, and are specifically required by authorities in many municipalities.
