Fire Rated Rolling Shutter Manufacturers in India
Fire Resistant
Sturdy & Durable
Extremely Compact
Fire spreads through a building in minutes — a fire rated rolling shutter is what buys your people time to evacuate and stops flames from jumping between units. At Motorolls, we manufacture and install fire rated rolling shutters engineered to compartmentalise industrial and commercial spaces, so a fire in one bay never becomes a fire in the whole facility.
As one of the established fire rated rolling shutter manufacturers in India, we build every shutter to close automatically the moment heat or smoke is detected — no manual intervention needed — and back it with site engineering, installation, and after-sales service under one roof.
A fire rated rolling shutter is a code-mandated compartmentation barrier, not just a security shutter with a fire-resistant coat of paint. Rating (E60/E120/E240), fusible-link trigger temperature, and testing standard are what actually determine how much protection you're buying.
What Is a Fire Rated Rolling Shutter?
A fire rated rolling shutter is a motorised or gravity-fail-safe steel shutter installed at wall openings, ducts, and compartment walls to prevent fire and smoke from spreading between sections of a building. Under normal operating conditions it functions like a standard motorised rolling shutter — open for access, closed for security. The moment a fire signal is received, it closes automatically and seals the opening.
How It Works
- A fusible link (typically rated to release at 68°C) or a signal from the building's fire alarm control panel triggers closure
- The shutter descends under a gravity fail-safe mechanism, so it closes even during a power failure
- A delay timer allows staged closure in high-footfall areas, giving occupants time to clear the opening
- Once closed, the shutter's steel curtain and guide channels form a sealed barrier that resists fire for a defined period
Fire Rating Standards We Build To
Fire performance isn't a marketing claim — it's a tested, certified number. Our fire rated rolling shutters are engineered around internationally recognised fire resistance classifications:
| Rating | Protection Duration | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| E60 | 60 minutes | Internal compartment walls, low-risk storage |
| E120 | 120 minutes | Warehouses, manufacturing bays, boiler rooms |
| E240 | 240 minutes | High-risk zones, battery rooms, chemical storage |
Shutters are built and tested with reference to standards such as BS 476 Part 22 and EN 1634-1, and can be specified to meet FM Global or project-specific fire codes where required. Always confirm the exact rating and certificate applicable to your project with our engineering team before finalising drawings.

Fire Rated Rolling Shutter vs Fire Rated Doors vs Standard Motorised Rolling Shutter
Not every opening needs the same solution. Here's how the three compare, so you can specify correctly the first time:
| Parameter | Fire Rated Rolling Shutter | Fire Rated Doors | Motorised Rolling Shutter (Standard) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Fire compartmentation for large openings | Fire compartmentation for pedestrian openings | Security & access control |
| Fire resistance | Yes (E60–E240) | Yes (typically 60–120 min) | No |
| Typical opening size | Large industrial/loading bay openings | Standard door-sized openings | Any size, security-focused |
| Auto-close on fire signal | Yes | Yes (self-closing hinges/hold-open devices) | No |
| Daily-use operation | Motorised, push-button | Manual swing/push | Motorised, remote/push-button |
| Best for | Warehouses, factory bays, loading docks | Stairwells, corridors, plant rooms | Shops, warehouses, gates without fire risk |

Where Fire Rated Rolling Shutters Are Used
- Manufacturing units and factory floor compartment walls
- Warehouses and logistics/distribution centres
- Boiler rooms, generator rooms, and battery rooms
- Loading bays adjoining occupied areas
- Commercial complexes and multi-tenant industrial parks
- Data centres and server rooms requiring compartmentation
Two Motorolls Fire Rated Rolling Shutter Case Studies
Case Study 1 — Auto-Component Manufacturing Plant, Pune
An auto-ancillary manufacturer needed to compartmentalise their paint-shop bay from the adjoining assembly line after a fire-safety audit flagged the open bay as a compliance risk. Motorolls surveyed the site, specified an E120-rated fire rolling shutter with fusible-link and fire-alarm-panel integration, and completed installation across three openings within the plant's weekend shutdown window.
Cleared next fire-safety audit, zero faults across 2 fire-drill testsCase Study 2 — Cold Storage & Warehousing Facility, Maharashtra
A third-party logistics operator running a multi-tenant warehouse required fire separation between tenant bays without disrupting daily forklift movement. Motorolls installed motorised fire rated rolling shutters with delay-timer closure, allowing normal push-button operation for logistics traffic while guaranteeing automatic fail-safe closure on fire detection.
Passed fire-NOC renewal inspectionWhy Choose Motorolls as Your Fire Rated Rolling Shutter Manufacturer
- Engineering-led approach: site survey, load and opening assessment, and rating recommendation before manufacturing
- In-house manufacturing using high-grade steel and tested components
- Single-vendor delivery — site analysis, manufacturing, installation, and service under one roof
- Optional integration with smoke detectors, fire alarms, and flashing lights
- 5,000+ industrial and commercial installations across rolling shutters, sliding gates, and high-speed doors
- Pan-India project execution with local service support
Choosing a manufacturer isn't just about price per shutter — it's about who takes responsibility for the rating being correct, the installation being sealed properly, and the shutter still working during your next fire drill. Ask any vendor for their test certificate before you sign off.
Frequently Asked Questions
A fire rated rolling shutter is manufactured and tested to resist fire for a defined period (e.g., E60, E120) and closes automatically on a fire signal. A regular motorised rolling shutter is built for security and access control and has no fire resistance rating.
Closure is triggered either by a fusible link that melts at a set temperature (commonly around 68°C) or by a signal from the building's fire alarm control panel. A gravity fail-safe mechanism ensures the shutter closes even during a power outage.
It depends on your building's occupancy, fire risk assessment, and local fire-safety code requirements. Our team reviews your site layout and compliance requirements before recommending a rating between E60 and E240.
Yes. Motorolls' fire rated shutters operate as motorised rolling shutters for everyday access — push-button or remote operation — while retaining the fail-safe fire-closure function independent of the motor.
Yes, Motorolls handles site survey, manufacturing, installation, and after-sales maintenance for fire rated rolling shutters at industrial and commercial sites across India.
