Over 5000 fires a day occur in Europe alone every day, according to the Fire Safe Europe association. A large percentage of the companies do not recover financially from the damages incurred. So how can you protect your home, building or company from fire damages? In the event of a fire in a building, the first 30mins are crucial, giving individuals time to exit safely before being consumed by flames or succumbing to smoke inhalation. To stop the spread of fires, limit damages and allow occupants to exit the building is important when looking for safety features in a door. Fire doors provide much needed time for evacuation as well as slowing down damage until firefighters arrive on scene. Another aspect to regard is fire compartmentation, a process that places barriers in strategic locations in a building to slow down spread of flames and smoke in the event of a fire. These barriers come in the form of fire-retardant walls and fire protection doors that limit spread and allow for a safe zone for individuals to await help or exit from.
