Fire Doors: Protecting Lives and Property

Fire doors play a crucial role in safeguarding lives and property. Whether in commercial buildings, residential proprieties , or public spaces, understanding fire doors is essential for everyone. 

Fire doors serve as a critical component of a building's passive fire protection system. Here's why they matter:

• Containment: Fire doors keep fire or smoke within the room (or "compartment") where it originated, preventing it from spreading to other areas.
• Life Safety: Fire doors provide occupants with additional time to escape by keeping escape routes clear of fire and smoke.
• Property Protection: They safeguard the building's contents and adjacent structures from further damage.

Fire doors are constructed to withstand fire for specific duration's (usually 30 or 60 minutes). Here's how they function:

• Materials: Fire doors are thicker than standard doors and typically have a solid core made of various fire-resistant materials.
• Intumescent Strips: These strips expand when exposed to heat, sealing the gap between the door and frame during a fire.
• Automatic Closers: Fire doors must remain closed during a fire. Automatic door closers ensure this.
• Certification: Manufacturers test fire doors and frames together, certifying them for specific fire ratings (e.g., FD30 or FD60).

Regular maintenance is crucial for fire doors:

• Inspection: Regularly inspect fire doors for signs of wear, damage, or improper installation.
• Seals and Hardware: Ensure proper seals and fire-rated hardware, including door closers.
• Painting: Fire doors can be painted, but follow guidelines to maintain their fire-resistant properties.
