 - What Is A Fire Door And What Is A Final Escape Route?

 

A fire door is designed to endure flames and smoke for an extended period. Its primary function is to delay and isolate the progression of a fire. When closed, it acts as a barrier that hinders flames from advancing. This serves the vital purpose of preventing the fire from spreading from one area of a building to another. This reduces the spread of the fire and, therefore, the extent of the damage to the property. It also helps to keep escape routes accessible, aiding evacuation procedures and protecting tenants. In addition, limiting the fire helps firefighting efforts. Consequently, fire doors play a vital role in safeguarding your property as part of its overall fire protection strategy. However, they can only optimally serve their function if properly maintained and regularly inspected to ensure they meet the stringent regulatory standards.

​

A final escape door is the door used, in the event of an emergency, to exit the building and to reach a place of safety. It must operate correctly and be fitted with the correct hardware. Correct signage is also a mandatory requirement for fire doors and escape doors.
