"Among the most important of these innovations is the fire door. Not to be confused with the fire escape, this is a kind of heavy door that's designed to contain fire, and to buy time for the fire brigade to turn up and extinguish it. The best fire doors, from BWF-certified manufacturers, can contain a fire for at least half an hour. This can make an enormous difference when it comes to saving the building, and saving the people inside."
"Fire doors need to be made from the right materials to be effective. But they'll also need to abide by environmental regulations, and any relevant green building rules. The best modern fire doors are made from non-flammable, recycled material. They're also treated to a low-emission finish. Obviously, fire doors shouldn't contain flammable material, like timber. But it's also important that the materials used don't emit any toxic fumes as the door does its job."
Fire has long threatened property and people, and modern innovations have improved protection. Fire doors are heavy, purpose-built doors designed to contain fire and buy time for fire brigades. BWF-certified fire doors can contain fire for at least half an hour, greatly improving chances of saving buildings and occupants. Fire doors are self-closing and can now be closed remotely via interconnected sensors and alarms in smart buildings. Modern fire doors use non-flammable, recycled materials with low-emission finishes to avoid toxic fumes. Compliance with UK fire safety regulations, including recent Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, is essential.
