Do I Need A Fire Rated Door?
In all public buildings it is imperative to have a fire risk assessment and a compartmentation plan which will identify what doors will need to be fire doors. Fire doors are an important aspect of passive fire protection and can fight back a fire and smoke from entering a room for up 30/60/120 minutes depending on the rating and installation of the door.
Public buildings such as hotels, flats, schools, hospitals and residential homes require fire doors that should be regularly maintained by a ‘responsible person’ in order to ensure they meet the required fire safety regulations and can ensure public safety.
Fire doors are required to help save buildings and lives, as they will hold off the fire from spreading for a short while, so people can escape without injuries. Don’t take risks, make sure your fire doors are installed by competent 3rd party installers.
