Global’s Fire Doors Pass Their Smoke Leakage Test

For the last few months, Global has been hard at work putting together the plans for the re-launch of Composite Fire Doors manufacturing program. With this, the company hopes to be able to provide clients with a complete approach to their fire door requirements, being able to both supply and fit fully compliant and secure doors on their projects.

Global understand the importance of the integrity of fire doors, which is why the company continue to strive to develop its skills around fabrication and installation, with help from industry pioneer such as Winkhaus and Element.

Smoke Leakage Test

In the run-up to their Composite Door re-launch, Global visited the experts at Warrington Fire in High Wycombe to put their fire doors through their Smoke Leakage Test.

A branch of Element Materials Technology, Warrington Fire, and their technicians were able to carry out exhaustive Smoke Leakage Testing, in order to ensure Global Fire Doors would be able to maintain the integrity of a compartment in the event of a fire.

This means that the doors would be able to delay the spread of deadly smoke and fumes throughout a building, reducing the risk to occupants.

Important Partnerships

With Winkhaus’s help, the doors will have a BM Trada Triple Q Mark certificate in Smoke, Security, and Fire

The doors were installed for testing by the wonderful technicians from Winkhaus, who have been supporting the company through the process of relaunch.

They have aided the company in all testing, including the Security Test conducted by Element Materials Technology in January at their Wednesbury testing facilities, and the further Burn Testing we will be undergoing in March 2022.

With their help, the doors the company fabricates will have a BM Trada Triple Q Mark, being certified in Smoke, Security, and Fire, so as to ensure the highest levels of safety and sustainability for our clients.

Strong pass on the test

The company is thrilled to have a strong pass on this test, meaning that all doors manufactured by Global will be created under the smoke leakage certificate EN1634 part 3, attesting to its security against smoke in the event of a fire.

With the final assessment, the company will be tested to certificate EN1643-1 from the Burn Test, securing their triple Q Mark in Security, Smoke, and Fire. They would like to say a huge thank you to all at Element Materials Technology, Warrington Fire, and Winkhaus for all of their help and support throughout testing. The company is very excited to complete its third and final test at the end of the month!
