What exactly do fire doors do?
Fire doors save lives. They act as barriers against the rapid spread of flames and smoke during a fire incident. They are constructed using materials that have been tested and certified (rated) to meet specific fire resistance standards. This means that they can withstand high temperatures for a specified period of time, typically ranging from 30 minutes to several hours.
The importance of fire doors cannot be overstated when it comes to safeguarding lives and property. In the event of a fire, these doors serve as vital compartments that help contain the flames within a specific area or room. By doing so, they create safe escape routes for individuals while preventing the rapid spread of heat and toxic gases throughout the building.
Fire-doors must be installed properly.
Never attempt to install fire doors yourself as a DIY project, or trust a general joiner to install them. Poorly and incorrectly installed fire doors and frames are a danger to life. It’s as simple as that. Always ensure they are installed by a qualified and accredited company, such as us.
If you’ve had doors fitted recently and you want to ensure they were installed correctly and are compliant, speak to us to arrange an inspection. We can identify and resolve any issues on the spot.
Have your fire doors inspected by experts regularly.
Fire doors serve as critical components in any building’s safety infrastructure. Their ability to resist flames and smoke allows occupants precious time for evacuation while minimizing property damage. To ensure their effectiveness, it is crucial that fire doors are properly installed and regularly maintained according to local regulations and industry standards.
Regular inspections should be conducted to check for any signs of damage or wear that may compromise their integrity. How often they are inspected depends on many factors, including age of the doors and how often they are in use, but as a baseline it is recommended they should be inspected every 6 months by a qualified inspector.
