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.
Due to our many years of experience in dealing with fire doors and fire protection gates, we are already a reliable partner for various companies. Our company specialises in the installation of door and gate systems from Hörmann KG.
This enables us, together with our system supplier, to find individual solutions, with approval in individual cases, for our customers. Let our experts advise you today and convince yourself of our extensive range of fire doors and fire protection gates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 doors are specially developed building components that play a crucial role in a building’s fire protection system. They are designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke within a building. In the event of a fire, they provide protection and create valuable time for evacuating people from the building. A fire protection door is constructed in such a way that it remains intact even at high temperatures and intense heat exposure, preventing the penetration of fire and smoke.
Fire protection doors should be installed specifically in areas of a building where increased fire protection requirements apply. This primarily includes escape routes such as corridors, stairwells and hallways. In addition, they are also of great importance between fire compartments in order to prevent a fire from spreading from one area to another. This careful placement helps minimize risk and ensure the safety of residents or users of buildings in Berlin.
Yes, fire protection doors must also be regularly checked for functionality and integrity in Berlin and Brandenburg. This includes inspections in accordance with manufacturer specifications and local regulations. Maintenance work may be required to ensure that they function properly in an emergency. Regular maintenance ensures that all components, such as locking mechanisms and seals, work correctly and fulfill the required fire protection function in the event of an emergency.
