Fire Resistant Report
🛡️ Fire Resistance You Can Trust – UL 94 V-0 Certified
At British Made Shutters, safety isn’t just a feature — it’s a foundation. That’s why we’re proud to share that our Poly Shutter Components have passed the UL 94 V-0 vertical flame test, one of the world’s most stringent standards for fire resistance.
What Does UL 94 V-0 Mean?
The UL 94 standard is recognised internationally for evaluating the flammability of plastic materials. Achieving a V-0 rating means that:
- The material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after two flame applications
- No flaming drips or particles are allowed
- No ignition of nearby materials (like cotton) is permitted
- It must meet these conditions in both new and aged states
Our shutters didn’t just pass — they exceeded expectations, showing zero afterflame or afterglow time, and no burn-through or debris ignition.
Independently Tested by SGS
The test was conducted by SGS, one of the world’s leading inspection and certification bodies, ensuring full transparency and international credibility.
Why It Matters for Your Home
In the event of a fire, every second counts. Materials with V-0 certification:
- Slow the spread of fire
- Reduce smoke and toxic emissions
- Offer peace of mind in both domestic and commercial settings
Built for Beauty, Engineered for Safety
Our shutters are not only elegantly crafted in the UK, but also designed with robust safety standards in mind — making them ideal for residential, hospitality, healthcare, and other public buildings.
British Quality. International Standards. Peace of Mind.
