Fire Shutters in Toronto & the GTA
Protective Window and Counter Shutter Solutions for Homes and Businesses
Fire shutters play a crucial role in safeguarding buildings by containing fire and preventing its spread. At TBC Garage Doors, we install fire shutters in Toronto and the GTA for both residential and commercial clients who need extra protection, safety compliance, or peace of mind.
Whether you're building a new home in close proximity to neighboring structures or managing a commercial space that requires fire-rated barriers, we offer shutter solutions that are safe, certified, and code-compliant.
Residential Window Fire Shutters for New Builds
In many municipalities across the GTA, building codes require fire-rated window shutters when constructing a new home that is too close to an adjacent property. These shutters are designed to automatically deploy during a fire, acting as a barrier between structures and reducing the risk of fire spread.
Ideal for:
- New home builds in tight urban or infill developments
- Side-facing windows near property lines
- Builders and contractors following code requirements
- Homeowners seeking additional safety and resale value
Fire-Rated Shutters for Commercial Applications
In commercial settings, fire shutters are often installed at service counters, kiosks, and openings between fire zones. These rolling steel or aluminum shutters provide added safety in businesses that handle flammable materials or operate in higher-risk environments.
Common uses include:
Service counters and concession stands
Retail areas in malls and food courts
Warehouses and industrial facilities
Medical and institutional settings
Storage rooms and kitchens with high fire loads
Fire shutters can also serve as a deterrent against unauthorized entry when closed, offering a layer of physical security after hours.

Fire Shutter FAQs
What’s the benefit of installing fire shutters on a home?
Fire shutters add an extra layer of protection by helping contain a fire before it spreads to other parts of the house or neighboring properties. They’re especially useful in urban areas where homes are built close together. In addition to safety, they can also increase property value by meeting stricter building codes and providing peace of mind for future buyers.
Do fire shutters operate automatically in case of fire?
Most models include a fusible link that melts at a specific temperature, triggering the shutter to close. Some systems can be connected to a building’s fire alarm for automated response.
Can fire shutters be used for security as well?
Yes. While their primary purpose is fire containment, many commercial fire shutters are strong enough to deter break-ins when closed.
What are fire shutters made of?
They’re typically constructed from fire-rated steel or aluminum and built to withstand high temperatures for up to several hours.
Can these shutters be custom-fit to my windows or counter space?
Absolutely. We offer a variety of sizes, finishes, and styles to suit both residential and commercial needs.
