Fire doors – where are they required?
Fire doors are one of the key elements that contribute to the overall safety of a building. They play a crucial role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, allowing for efficient and safe evacuation. Where is the installation of fire doors required? We explain in the article below!
How do fire doors work?
The fire doors offered by J&W are a crucial part of the fire safety system in any building. Their primary purpose is to slow the spread of fire and smoke and to prevent people from becoming trapped inside a burning building.
What’s important? Fire doors are made of metal and equipped with special hardware designed to keep the door closed in the event of a fire. Both the frame and the hinges are fire-resistant. When a fire breaks out, heat and smoke can rapidly rise and fill a room or corridor. That’s why our fire doors are designed to block the spread of smoke and flames, giving people more time to evacuate the building.
However, it is essential to remember that for fire doors to be effective, they must remain closed at all times. If left open, fire and smoke can quickly spread throughout the building, posing a serious threat to the lives of those inside.
Where should fire doors be installed?
The best solution is to install fire doors in every building, though this is not always feasible. They play a particularly important role in public buildings and high-traffic areas, such as schools, office buildings, or hospitals. Moreover, current legal regulations require the installation of fire-resistant doors between a multi-family building and the garage entrance, as well as on every evacuation route. Fire doors should also be placed at the top and bottom of staircases, in hallways, and in all rooms containing flammable materials.
When installing fire doors, it's essential to ensure that they are properly sized for the opening and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, fire doors should be equipped with special self-closing devices and regularly inspected to ensure they function correctly.
