Charter Specialist Security’s Charter- Integr8 security shutters are protecting North Lincolnshire’s newest health and social care facility – the Ironstone Centre in Scunthorpe.
Health and social care amenities there include GP’s surgeries and a pharmacy, specialist clinics, physiotherapy, dental services, and social services. Forty-eight Charter-Integr8 180C security shutters have been installed to all ground floor windows, and five Charter-Integr8 180FR fire-rated shutters feature internally as part of the building’s fire strategy. The shutter mechanics are integrated into the building fabric, and, in the raised position, the shutter is completely concealed from view. In the lowered position, the shutters ensure effective security. The 180C features an aluminium hood box and guide rails with a neat, compact design to minimise visual impact, with the shutter curtain comprising twin wall extruded aluminium sections designed for maximum security. The 180FR galvanised steel fire-rated shutters can be polyester powder coated to any RAL/BS colour, are tested to BS476 Part 22, and come with a choice of 1 hour and 2 hour certification and optional audio-visual warning. Operated via a link to the fire alarm system, they lower automatically upon activation.
