Installation | Fire doors and fire protection gates in Berlin

Prevent fire and smoke from spreading

Despite increasing automation, it is not possible to completely prevent fires. It is therefore important to counter the spread of fire and smoke as early as the construction phase. The focus here is primarily on smoke control and fire doors.

These are not only intended to prevent the fire from spreading. Escape and rescue routes must also remain passable in order to ensure that a building can be evacuated. Depending on the requirements and use of the building, these doors must have a fire-resistance of 30 to 120 minutes. This applies especially to fire protection gates in industrial and commercial buildings.

Classification

The difference between fire doors and protection gates lies in the size of the opening. Doors that are only labelled as “smoke control doors” are not automatically fire doors: The thermal performance is not given here.

Material
Fire doors are usually made of steel or aluminium, but a combination of the materials is also possible. A T30 door can also contain the combustible material wood. The use of glass with a corresponding fire-resistance rating is also possible.

Building types

Fire doors in public buildings
Where there is an obligation to install fire protection doors, this is regulated in the respective state building codes, which are based on the model building regulations. Fire doors are required in public buildings, for example in long corridors.

Special fire protection requirements apply in schools and kindergartens, in hospitals and retirement homes, but also in large office buildings or hotels.

Fire doors in private buildings
In the private area, there are many occasions when a fire can break out: whether at the cooker, with the iron, near the fireplace or the stove heating, or by burning candles. The main purpose of fire doors here is to secure escape routes, to prevent or slow down the spread and to enable the fire brigade to get to the source of the fire quickly.

In the private sector, we usually install fire doors between the garage and living space or between the garage and basement, because cars, gasoline and tires are extremely flammable. Fire doors also serve the purpose of securing escape routes between the boiler room and living rooms in the event of a fire spreading around the heating system.

Fire protection gates in industrial halls
We install steel and stainless steel sliding gates as fire protection gates, which are available in single and double-winged versions. These doors can also function as smoke control doors. Smoke control doors are mainly required in industry, where life-threatening flue gases can arise. The fire protection sliding gates are also available in the version without a threshold, if small trolleys or hand trucks are to pass through the gate.

We look forward to your request for the installation of fire doors and fire protection gates - whether for public buildings, your private property or your industrial hall.
