The Role & Performance of Fire & Smoke Resisting Doors
Apart from the human toll, property losses each year approach £1.3 billion
The importance of fire and smoke resistant door assemblies is easily illustrated by the 216 deaths per year in fire tragedies in the United Kingdom (UK) alone.
Apart from the human toll, property losses each year approach £1.3 billion.
The CPD covers:
- Hard facts concerning deaths, injuries and property damage caused by fire and smoke;
- Regulatory requirements for fire and smoke resisting door assemblies; the nature and behavior of smoke;
- Effective design of door assemblies for smoke containment including the threshold gap;
- Design conflicts between fire containment, smoke containment, durability and ease of operation on the door; and
- Independent accreditation.
