Charter Specialist Security Ltd., the UK’s leading supplier of built-in roller shutters, is protecting North Lincolnshire’s newest health and social care facility – the Ironstone Centre – with its Charter-Integr8 security shutters.
The Ironstone Centre, run by NHS North Lincolnshire, is located in Scunthorpe town centre and forms part of the town’s regeneration scheme. It is a purpose built facility providing an extensive range of health and social care amenities, including GP surgeries and pharmacy, specialist clinics, physiotherapy, dental services and social services.
To protect this new state-of-the-art Centre, 48 Charter-Integr8 180C security shutters have been installed to all ground floor windows for security purposes and five Charter-Integr8 180FR fire rated shutters have been fitted internally as part of the building’s fire strategy.
A secure and aesthetic solution, Charter-Integr8’s shutter mechanics are integrated into the actual fabric of the building. In the raised position, the shutter is completely concealed from view. In the lowered position, the shutters ensure effective security.
The Charter-Integr8 180C features an aluminium hood box and guide rails that have a neat, compact design to minimise their visual impact. The shutter curtain comprises twin wall extruded aluminium sections designed to ensure maximum security.
The Charter-Integr8 180FR are fire rated shutters manufactured from galvanised steel with an option to polyester powder coat to any RAL/BS colour. They have been tested to BS476 Part 22 and come with a choice of 1 hour and 2 hour certification and optional audio visual warning to alert personnel. They are operated via a link to the fire alarm system and lower automatically upon activation.
Charter Specialist Security is an industry leader of built-in roller shutters for the new build and renovation markets, offering clients an innovative range of integrated security solutions.
