CONTAIN FIRE. CONTROL SMOKE.
PROTECT EXITS. SAVE LIVES.
Fire doors are a critical part of any buildings life safety system. They slow the spread of fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and give occupants more time to get to safety.
WHAT IS A FIRE DOOR?
A fire door is a specially engineered door assembly designed and tested to resist fire and smoke for a specific amount of time.
HOW FIRE DOORS WORK (BUILT TO PERFORM WHEN IT MATTERS THE MOST)
1. The fire door remains closed or automatically closes
2. Fire-resistant materials slow heat transfer
3. Intumescent seals expand under heat
4. Gaps around the door are sealed
5. Fire and smoke are contained in a designated area
WHY SMOKE CONTROL IS CRITICAL
Smoke spreads faster than fire and is a leading cause of injury and death in building fires. Fire doors with smoke seals help limit smoke movement, keeping exit routes safer and more tenable.
smoke spreads fast and fills open space
fire doors slow smoke movement because of their smoke seals
