Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about shutter battery backup systems.

A fire rating (e.g., 45 min, 90 min, 3 hr, 4 hr) measures how long a product can resist the spread of flames and heat under standardized UL test conditions. A smoke rating, typically listed under UL1784, measures the product’s ability to restrict the passage of smoke and air. Some products, like the SmokeShield® line, carry both ratings. For most commercial projects, you will need both, and choosing the right product depends on your specific building code requirements and occupancy type.

Yes. Most jurisdictions require annual inspections of fire-rated assemblies, including rolling fire doors and smoke curtains. This typically involves a drop test to verify the door closes properly on alarm activation. Some products, like the SmokeShield® Elevator Curtain (ERF10), include curtain-mounted pressure-sensitive switches that can be tested without requiring full manual activation every time. We can advise on maintenance requirements as part of your installation.

GuideLock™ is a patented sealing mechanism used in the SmokeShield® Elevator Curtain (ERF10) and SmokeShield® Fabric Fire Door (ERF20). When the curtain deploys, GuideLock™ positively engages the curtain edges within the guide channels, guaranteeing a 100% perimeter seal with no gaps. This is especially critical for smoke containment, where even small gaps can allow dangerous smoke migration.

AlarmGard® refers to CornellCookson’s integrated alarm-response system built into compatible operators. When a fire alarm signal is received, AlarmGard® Logic automatically triggers the door to close (or release, in the case of a fusible link), providing a failsafe drop. After the alarm clears, AlarmGard® Logic enables the door to auto-reset without requiring manual intervention, an important feature for buildings where staff may not be immediately available to reset doors after a false alarm or drill.

Yes. Most products in the lineup offer color customization. The Integral Frame Counter Shutter (ERC20) offers SpectraShield™ powder coating in 180+ colors. Counter fire doors (ERC10/11) are available in RAL powder coat options with color-matched fasteners. Rolling fire doors have GalvaNex™ finishes in Gray, Tan, White, Brown, and Black. The SmokeShield® Elevator Curtain (ERF10) and Fabric Fire Door (ERF20) also accept custom powder coat finishes on hardware components. Contact us to discuss your specific color requirements.

Fire rating requirements are typically set by the International Building Code (IBC), local building bylaws, your fire marshal, and, in some cases, your insurance underwriter. The type of occupancy, proximity to fire walls, and opening size all factor in. Our team can help you interpret your requirements, or we can work directly alongside your architect or building inspector to specify the correct product.

SmokeShield® is a proprietary seal system from CornellCookson that adds UL1784-listed smoke and draft control to a fire door assembly. It is available as an optional upgrade on the Roll-Up Fire Door (ERD11/ERD21), Counter Fire Door (ERC11), and Integral Frame Counter Shutter (ERC20). The SmokeShield® Elevator Curtain (ERF10) and Fabric Fire Door (ERF20) incorporate smoke containment as their primary function, so SmokeShield® technology is built in by design.

Most of these products are suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications. The SmokeShield® Fabric Fire Door (ERF20) is explicitly designed for both. The Integral Frame Counter Shutter (ERC20) is factory-assembled to set directly into existing wall openings, making retrofit installation straightforward. Rolling fire doors can be surface-mounted (face of wall) or recessed between jambs depending on the space available. We assess your site conditions and recommend the most practical installation approach.

The AlarmGard® Conceal operator reduces headroom requirements by 11 inches, a 34% reduction compared to traditional tube-mounted motors. This is achieved by mounting the motor in the corner of the headplate rather than inside the barrel. For retrofits or spaces with low ceiling heights above counters, this compact design often makes motorized counter fire doors feasible where traditional operators would not fit.

Yes. Several products are available in 300-series stainless steel, including the Roll-Up Fire Door (ERD10/11/20/21), Counter Fire Door (ERC10/11), and Integral Frame Counter Shutter (ERC20, standard in #4 finish 300-series stainless). Stainless is particularly suited to food service, healthcare, and pharmaceutical environments where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics are priorities.

Thank you so very much. The install on my new roll shutter was smooth and efficient. You worked around my shops business hours, so I had no loss of revenue. I am able to sleep again with a renewed sense of security. That wall is a Beautiful thing.
Wes and Christian are both so personable and professional. We'll definitely be recommending you to others and when we renovate our residence, you'll get the call.

My husband Jason and I couldn't be happier with our automatic outdoor sun shades. We would highly recommend Shutters and Shade to anyone that needs relief from the sun inside or outside their home. The ease and functionality of the shades are so amazing. We would not think twice about installing them again on our next project. We've built 2 homes in the past 4 years and Wes was one of the best people we have had the opportunity to work with. Thank you Wes for making this part of the home building experience a great one!

We LOVE our sun shades! We now have 6 shades; 5 are operated by remote and one is operated manually. They are of high quality and function as we had hoped. The team led by Wes is amazing.
They are friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. I would highly recommend Shutters and Shade.

I have been trying for three years to find a solution to give me more privacy on my balcony. Shutters and Shade was the perfect solution. Wes installed a custom-made privacy screen and I couldn't be more pleased! He is professional, knowledgeable and helpful, and the product is top quality. I'm a very happy customer.
