Fire door gap requirements: why are they important?
Fire door gaps are one of the most commonly found non-compliances on fire door inspections. Why? Well, the difference between a compliant and non-compliant fire door may be only 1...
Why is fire door compliance important?
Fire door safety aligns your property with UK fire safety regulations. It helps you to avoid considerable government fines. Above all else, fire door compliance saves lives.
Fire doors exist to:
- Restrict the spread of fire and/or smoke
- Prevent injuries and minimise risk to life
- Provide occupants with a safe and easily accessible escape route
Many fire doors fail to meet these criteria because they are incorrectly specified or installed. Furthermore, a lack of awareness amongst installers and fabric engineers has led to ineffective maintenance. Often, this ends up damaging the fire door's performance even further.
At Fire Doors Complete, we're dedicated to educating others in the nuances of fire door safety regulations. From fire door training, to fire door inspection, to fire safety consultancy, we're here to help building operators and installers gain a comprehensive understanding of how to comply with the relevant regulations and standards.
