Overview

The Blockshutter EW 120 provides 120 minutes of fire integrity while limiting thermal radiation to below 15 kW/m² on the unexposed side — protecting people and property from dangerous radiated heat. Ideal for large openings in high-traffic commercial environments where occupant safety from radiated heat is a design requirement.

Key Features

  • 120-minute integrity — longest standard E-class rating for rolling shutters
  • Radiation limiting — keeps heat below 15 kW/m² on safe side
  • Protects occupants who may be near the shutter during evacuation
  • Standard daily-use operation with dead-man controls
  • Automatic fire closure on alarm
  • CE marked with Declaration of Performance (CPR-4981)
  • EN 16034:2014 and EN 13241+A2:2016 compliant
  • Custom sizes and colours available

Applications

Recommended for high-traffic public buildings where protecting people from radiated heat is a priority — shopping centres, department stores, car parks, and large public areas where E 90 integrity is not sufficient and EI insulation is not required.
