Characteristics of fire doors
A fire door is a product made of refractory materials. This is its main difference from other models. The special design does not allow the door to maintain gorenje. The fire door can be made not only of metal, but also of wood and even glass.
Any fire door has the properties of fire resistance and low thermal conductivity. And its design must meet the requirements of fire safety. Another prerequisite is the use of specific accessories, which are also provided for by the standards. It includes:
- A sealing system that differs in characteristics, quality and design from the seals on conventional doors.
- The door closer, which is responsible for closing the door without the help of a person.
- The lock and handle must also be of a special design.
Thanks to these qualities of fittings, the fire door contributes to increased protection of the room in the event that smoke occurs outside. It keeps out fire and smoke, leaving people safe. In addition, the fire door will open under all conditions and will always be safe for evacuation.
Thus, the fire door has the following important characteristics::
- Does not support gorenje
- Insulates the interior from smoke and open flames
- Does not heat up
- Does not deform
- Remains safe for evacuation
The fire door can be installed for both domestic and industrial use. However, in some rooms, the regulations provide for the installation of only such a door. For example, in industrial premises with a high fire risk or in warehouses of explosive materials. Such requirements apply to many proceedings, and their non-compliance is fraught with significant fines.
The problem of choice
Among all the manufacturers of fire doors, we can distinguish the company TOREX. The company has been operating in the Russian market for several years and is rightfully considered the leader of this segment. TOREX steel and fire doors are made of high-quality materials, and cheap Chinese components are not used in their production. The quality of TOREX fire doors is time-tested, and the manufacturer can really be trusted.
