Products: SmokeShield® Galvanized Counter Fire Shutters

In order to pass the fire code inspection, this new building required that eight service window openings in walls requiring fire rating be outfitted with fire containment / smoke control shutters. Cornell’s SmokeShield® Counter Fire Shutters close automatically in a fire emergency limiting the spread of damaging smoke and fire thus protecting life and property. They fit the bill!
