The Importance of Fire Doors
Why Are Fire Doors Important?
Every person who uses or occupies a building has the right to expect that if a fire occurs, they will be safe. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.
Something may go wrong with the structure’s construction, or with the fire safety equipment, resulting in death or serious injury Fire doors are an important component of a building’s passive fire protection system and are required for all public buildings, offices, and factories.
In everyday usage, a fire door’s basic function is the same as any other door. However, because a fire outbreak is never predictable, the fire door, unlike any other door, must fulfill its primary purpose: to safeguard lives and provide protection to the rest of the structure and to neighbouring structures.
