Fire Doors

Fire doors are an essential component of any building's passive fire protection system. They are specifically designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, providing occupants with valuable time to evacuate safely. Fire doors play a crucial role in compartmentalising areas, containing fires, and protecting property and lives.

Key Features:

Fire-resistant construction materials, including solid timber, steel, or composite materials, provide high levels of fire resistance.
Fire-rated glass panels allow visibility while maintaining fire integrity.
Intumescent seals expand when exposed to heat, creating a barrier against smoke and flames.
Self-closing mechanisms ensure that the door remains closed in normal conditions and automatically closes in case of a fire.
Certified fire ratings conforming to local building codes and regulations.
Regular inspections and maintenance are necessary to ensure fire door integrity and compliance.

Door Closers

Door closers are hydraulic or mechanical devices that control the closing of doors after they have been opened. They play a crucial role in maintaining security, energy efficiency, and accessibility in buildings. Door closers are commonly used in commercial, residential, and public spaces to ensure consistent door operation.

Key Features:

Smooth and controlled closing action prevents slamming and extends the lifespan of the door.
Adjustable closing speed and latching speed allow customisation based on the specific requirements of the building.
Hold-open options provide flexibility by allowing doors to remain open for convenience or during specific times.
Backcheck feature controls the speed of the door during the opening swing, preventing damage to adjacent walls or furniture.
Delayed action feature allows extra time for individuals with mobility challenges to pass through the door safely.
ADA-compliant door closers ensure accessibility for people with disabilities.
