Mr. Xu lives in a high-rise building. Not long after he moved in, he saw a report about "fire doors" and unknowingly checked the fire doors in his fire escapes. He found that the door materials were mainly wood. "The fire doors of the whole building are all made of wood." It is made of wood. In case of a fire, wouldn’t it just happen?” After the reporter visited the site and consulted the fire brigade, the staff explained that even the wooden door is a fire door after fire protection.
"I read the newspaper and said that high-rise fire doors are especially important. The fire doors in our unit are made of steel, but the fire doors in my corridor are made of wood. I wonder if this is considered a fire door?" Mr. Xu moved into the new house at the beginning of the year. It didn’t take long for him to discover that the doors in the corridors and fire passages were made of wooden materials. He worried that if a fire broke out, the wooden doors would be “unsupportable”.
The reporter came to the 18th building where Mr. Xu lived and found that the door in the fire escape is indeed a wooden structure, but there is a layer of white-gray paint like paint on the surface of the door. It happened that Xiaofang, a property worker in the community, told reporters that this layer of paint is actually a fireproof paint, which can also play a role in fire prevention.
Can wooden doors be made into fire doors? The reporter contacted the Provincial Fire Brigade for verification. The staff member Mr. Zhu said that both steel and wood can be used to make fire doors. Wooden fire doors use flame-retardant wood or flame-retardant wood products as the door frame, door leaf frame, door leaf panel, door handle, door closer, and door hinge all have a certain degree of fire resistance. In addition, the manufacturers of fire doors are strictly controlled by the fire department, which continues to the installation and use stage of the fire doors.
