Fire doors are a critical component of passive fire protection systems, working silently in the background to contain the spread of fire and smoke within a building. In this blog post, we’ll explore the essential role that fire doors play in enhancing building safety and how Capital Fire Doors excels in providing high-quality fire door solutions.
Passive fire protection refers to using building materials and systems designed to contain and compartmentalize fire, preventing its spread to other areas of the building. Unlike active fire protection measures such as fire alarms and sprinkler systems, which require manual intervention, passive fire protection systems operate automatically, providing continuous protection without human intervention.
Fire doors are specially designed from fire-resistant materials and equipped with fire-rated components such as intumescent seals and fire-rated glass. These doors are strategically installed throughout a building to compartmentalize fire and smoke, creating barriers that prevent their spread from one area to another. In the event of a fire, fire doors help to contain the fire, giving occupants valuable time to evacuate safely and allowing emergency responders to intervene effectively.
