Assured Protection <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The main function of a fire door in a business or building is\nto restrict and delay the spread of a fire and its fumes. Fire doors are\nstrategically installed to section your building into fire-safe evacuation\nareas and to provide safe escape routes for residents exiting the building.\nThis includes stairway enclosures, hallways leading to exits, and closing off\nhazardous areas such as boiler rooms. This will help minimize\ndamage to the property while allowing optimal time for occupants to escape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fire doors are also used for daily security measures and to\nclose off access to an area. Some are designed to remain closed at all times\nand others, specifically in busy and populated areas such as a school or\nhospital, remain open under normal circumstances. Fire doors automatically\nclose themselves if fire is detected or when the fire alarm system goes off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Fire Doors <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The materials and components that make up a fire door often\nincludes a mix of steel, timber, glass, gypsum, and aluminum. This also affects\nits level of fire resistance, meaning that given the make, it will have varying\nfire endurance ratings. The fire ratings are based on minutes (20\/45\/60\/90\/180)\nwhich indicates how long it can offer protection and withstand a fire. Fire\ndoors also come in a variety of styles such as swinging doors, sliding doors,\nrolling doors, and shutters. It is important to do your research on building\ncodes and determine what type of rating and door style is best suited for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
