Fire Doors: What are they and why do we need them?
Posted Thursday, March 15th, 2018
Anyone who occupies or visits a building has a right to be protected against accidental or intentional fire break out. Since fire doors can prevent the spread of fire and smoke, they are an integral part of every building’s fire protection system. Fire doors keep the fire contained to a particular compartment or room, giving occupants longer to escape and the firemen longer to rescue anyone who is trapped.
At Cressy Door and Fireplace we believe it is essential to choose the right fire door for your situation. It must also be properly specified, installed, and maintained to provide the necessary protection. Here are some of the most popular fire doors recommended by our team.
