Do You Need a Fire Door for That Doorway?
Not so long ago, most people didn’t use and hadn’t heard of the added security of a fire door, but since they’ve come out, these have become an essential type of door in many situations that you might even have. First of all, you need to have a better understanding of what these doors can do to save you and why it’s important you have one.
In many cases, fire will burn through a door much more quickly than walls. In the case of walls, the fire is more likely to creep in and smoulder, but give people time to get out of a building. With the case of a door however, gaps provide air and the lack of extras such as insulation to smoulder can allow a fire to move quickly from room to room. A good fire door isn’t going to burn so quickly, and in many cases not at all, so you have the time you need to get to safety should you need to.
If you’re not sure if you need this type of door, here are some of the main locations that are often required to have a fire door:
– Multi flat places that have more than one door to individual flats. Each flat should have a fire door and the main entrance should also have one. This is to ensure that each flat has better safety against the potential of being affected by a fire in another part of the building. Also, if your home has a flat in it, you will need to make sure that there is a fire door that separates your home and that of your tenant to ensure that you’re both safe at all times.
– If you have an attached garage, you will also need to have a fire door. It’s likely that you keep your autos in your garage, but even if you don’t, this is often the place where people keep paint, cleaning supplies and many other types of chemicals that can easily catch fire. You may never realise how much you need one, but if you do you might be surprised at how well this type of door can help protect you and your family from fires that can break out in the garage.
The great news is that many fire doors available today are cost effective, look great and are made with the highest efficiency standards in mind, so you not only will have a great looking door, but you’ll also have peace of mind when you choose a good fire door for your spaces.
