Advantages of Fire Doors

Fire and Smoke Suppression Ability

Fire doors are designed to prevent fire and smoke from spreading in the event of a fire. This helps minimize property damage and protect human life. Door types such as steel fire doors, wooden fire doors and fire trap doors are all heat resistant and prevent fire for a certain period of time, creating conditions for safe escape.

Meets Safety Standards

Fire doors must comply with fire protection standards and strict regulations on fire safety. Using fire doors ensures your project fully complies with legal and safety requirements.

Increase Evacuation Time

When a fire occurs, evacuation time is the deciding factor in survival. Fire doors help prolong heat resistance and prevent fire from spreading, thereby creating valuable time for residents and employees to escape safely. Currently, fireproof doors have standards depending on the level of the project such as EI60 EI70 EI90 EI120 and KH Shield fireproof door products can meet EI standards.

Disadvantages of Fire Doors

High cost

One of the main disadvantages of fireproof doors is their higher cost compared to regular doors. The production and installation of fireproof doors requires special technology and materials, so the price is often higher. However, if you consider the safety and property protection benefits, this cost is completely worth it.

Heavy Weight

Fire doors, especially steel fire doors, are often heavier than regular doors. This can cause difficulties during installation and use. However, proper design and installation will help minimize this drawback.
