The functionality of a fire door’s performance is affected heavily by the installation of the door itself. For maximum effectiveness, instructions must be followed to the letter.
There is also a legal requirement for fire door manufacturers to prove that their fire door performs as described. This can be undertaken by certified third-party independent regulators. This will also determine their FD rating, depending on how long they can withstand flames.
Installation errors
Fire doors are part of a larger fire protection system. Fire door frames, intumescent strips and smoke seals all pertain to the fire protection of the building. If one of these fails to meet standards then the whole system will fail. If any part of the system is failed by inspections or not maintained by the Responsible Person, the system will fail and the fire door will no longer act as intended.
There are common issues found with fire door installations:
Incorrectly fitted fire and smoke seals
Inconsistent gaps between the fire door and its frame
Insufficient signage
Unsuitable hinges
Damage to the door
If any of these errors are observed, do not hesitate to contact your local fire door specialist.
Fire doors save lives, and any hitch in the system can render them useless. Thorough checks should be carried out regularly each year. Installation and alterations should be carried out by competent persons using certified fire door products.
