Fire doors, frames and hardware
We handle all passive fire protection system installation, servicing, maintenance, inspection, certification and consultation. During a fire emergency, passive fire protection contains flames, toxins and smoke in specific parts of a building to prevent them from spreading.
01
What passive fire protection is
A passive fire protection system usually consists of structural fire protection, compartmentalisation, firestopping and opening protection.
Passive fire protection involves fire resistance measures that prevent the spread of flame and ensure the safe evacuation of building occupants. Fire doors, fire shutters and dampers are examples of passive fire protection.
| Structural fire protection | Protection applied to the building structure itself. |
|---|---|
| Compartmentalisation | Dividing a building into fire compartments. |
| Firestopping | Sealing openings and joints between compartments. |
| Opening protection | Doors, shutters and dampers in openings. |

Fire doors are among the most vital safety measures in an enclosed space, often the difference between life and death in a fire breakout. That alone is reason enough to inspect and maintain them periodically, yet Fire Risk Assessments continually show their maintenance being neglected.
Fire doors are designed to trap flames and smoke while occupants escape, installed within compartmental buildings to contain unintentional fires. Self-closing mechanisms let them slam shut once opened to minimise exposure during escape procedures.
Installing fire doors is precision work requiring a licensed tradesperson with considerable knowledge, experience and understanding.
