Standard or made to measure fire doors
Fire Doors comprise part of the Passive Fire Protection (PFP) System of any building, with their primary purpose to slow the spread of fire from one compartment (area) to another and therefore giving people the opportunity to escape from the building safely.
In addition to slowing the spread of fire, Fire Doors secondary function are to limit the flow of smoke throughout a building.
Types of fire doors
Dependent on a Fire Doors location and other purposes will depend on the type of fire door required. This could either be a normal Fire Door, an Emergency Fire Exit Door or Emergency Panic Fire Exit Door.
A properly installed and maintained Fire Door should perform both its role in the event of a fire but also that of a normal door. It is this function however that often leads to a Fire Door not performing correctly and therefore, maintaining these doors is crucial.
