You may have already read so many
articles about good quality fire doors or maybe
have already seen one at your workplace, but did not really know the reason why
it’s there and why people still have to manufacture a different kind of door
when it's just a door after all. But fire
doors are more than that. Their purpose is to help reduce the spread of
smoke and fire. They are manufactured and installed in buildings, houses,
hotels and even cargo ships and more. Many lives and properties have already
been saved because of fire
doors.
These types of doors are made of all
fire resistant that have passed test and certifications. They have been tested
and are installed with a goal of helping in the overall safety and structures
against the damaging fire. The fire
doors are made up of the door itself, the door frame, smoke seals,
hardwares and even glass or fiber windows that are all fire rated. Whatever it
is that you can find on the door are all tested and certified by a licensed fire door specialist.
Time has proven the importance of fire doors and that led many companies
big and small to develop door sets that can hold fire with the highest
resistance possible. The use of fire
doors has been renowned internationally and these types of doors have
already become a pillar of every establishment to be one of the tools used to
prevent fire. An establishment is not deemed safe of fire doors are not installed. In fact, in Australia alone, its
government has mandated that fire doors
must be installed at home and business buildings and must be maintained
regularly because if not heavy fines are due to those offenders.
Although fire doors are made with the most advance technology that we have
today and by following all the regulations and standards in the making, there
is still the possibility that a fire
door will fail. Sometimes fire doors
are improperly installed, which makes it nonfunctional. Also, some would block
the fire doors with furnitures or
other structures that ultimately defeats its purpose. Worst of all, putting
inflammable items near the fire doors
which is completely wrong.
Another cause why fire doors fail to serve its purpose is the lack of maintenance.
Just like other machineries they also need to be maintained and checked
regularly. For this, an advise of an expert is recommended as you cannot check
it for yourself. You also do not have the power to deem a fire to be compliant
with what is regulated because you are not a specialist. A fire door specialist
must make a regular visit to text the doors and update its compliance. We never
know when a fire accident could happen and if this is the case all the fire doors installed must be able to
help save lives and reduce property damage because that is after all what we
exactly want to happen.
