Protection against fire and smoke
Fire protection doors or smoke protection doors are functional doors that help to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building or two rooms or to slow it down as much as possible. They are an important part of fire protection and can be used in different types of buildings, such as residential buildings, office and commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, industrial facilities, etc.
A fire protection door or smoke protection door is designed to achieve a determiner fire protection class EI30, EI60, EI90 etc. in the event of a fire, thus preventing the passage of fire and smoke for a certain length of time. The fire protection class of a door is determined by its ability to resist heat and flames.
It is important that fire protection doors and smoke control doors are regularly maintained and checked to ensure that they function optimally in the event of an emergency. Correct installation and the use of approved fittings (fully tested systems) are also crucial to ensure the best possible security. Overall, fire protection doors and smoke protection doors are important parts of fire and smoke protection and can save lives and minimise property damage in an emergency. In addition, fire protection is required by law.
