When it comes to ensuring the safety of your property and its occupants, fire doors play a critical role. Proper fire door installation, repair, and regular inspections can make all the difference in containing a fire and allowing safe evacuation. At Windrush Doors & Windows, we specialise in providing high-quality fire door services to help protect your premises and maintain compliance with safety regulations.
Why Fire Doors Matter
Fire doors are designed to contain fire and smoke, slowing the spread and providing a crucial window for evacuation. These doors are not just a legal requirement for many buildings, they are essential for saving lives and reducing property damage.
To ensure that fire doors perform their intended function, they must be correctly installed, regularly inspected, and maintained to a high standard. Even minor issues, such as misaligned hinges or damaged seals, can compromise their effectiveness.
Fire Door Installation: Getting It Right from the Start
Proper fire door installation is vital to ensure their effectiveness in an emergency. Our team understands the specific requirements for installing fire doors in various settings, from commercial properties to residential blocks.
When we install fire doors, we take into account:
- Fire resistance rating: Ensuring the door meets the required fire resistance duration for your property.
- Frame compatibility: Installing the door within a frame that complements its fire-resisting capabilities.
- Proper sealing: Ensuring the seals are intact to prevent smoke penetration.
A professionally installed fire door is not only a life-saving measure but also a requirement for compliance with building regulations in the UK.
Fire Door Repair: Keeping Your Doors in Top Condition
Over time, fire doors can suffer wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. Damage to the door or its components can compromise its ability to resist fire and smoke. Signs that you may need fire door repair include:
- Gaps around the door exceeding the recommended limits
- Damaged or missing intumescent seals
- Warped or ill-fitting doors
- Hinges or closers that are not functioning correctly
We provide comprehensive fire door repair services to address these issues promptly. Our skilled technicians will assess the damage, recommend the best course of action, and ensure your fire doors are restored to their optimal condition.
