We all want to feel safe in our homes, and if the worst should happen, we want the knowledge that a window can't catch alight and give away our location. But options for this kind of fire protection exist. Fire-resistant roller shutters cover your windows not just from the inside with a protective sheeting - but from the outside, as well.
We know for a fact how dangerous fires can be. They can cause catastrophic damage, and lead to accidents for many people. But luckily there are many ways we can try to prevent this from happening. In this blog, we will introduce you to a fire-rated shutter. This is a more expensive option for protection against fires and will last for a significantly longer time than your average fire blanket might.
