Reasons why apartment fire doors have become popular
According to preliminary statistics, currently the number of high-rise apartments is increasing, and managing fire and explosion risks with high-rise buildings is a mandatory condition. Many people are also gradually becoming more aware of choosing safe housing that meets fire protection standards. In addition, fire safety standards were issued, motivating contractors, investors and manufacturers to come up with safe solutions for housing. One of them is the solution of using apartment fire doors.
The need for apartment fire doors is not a trend
Even though we don’t want to think about it, many people will certainly ask the question: If a fire breaks out, how will we find a way out? Is the apartment we live in safe when a fire occurs and equipped with a system to help residents escape easily?
These questions are also painful issues when each apartment project is formed. Because before that, there were many tragic fires that occurred, causing a stir in public opinion for a long time and making many people afraid of choosing an apartment.
Therefore, currently, fire safety and fire prevention are one of the mandatory conditions for project acceptance. Most apartments are equipped with fire alarm systems and fire extinguishers. But in general, these devices can only ensure safety in situations where small fires arise and are not likely to spread over a large area. If in a more serious case, the fire cannot be extinguished with a fire extinguisher while the fire department is not present in time, the safety of people and property will likely not be guaranteed.
What will people do when the fire department has not yet been able to respond and their house catches fire?
Therefore, in addition to alarm systems and fire extinguishers, apartments need to minimize the risk of potential fire and explosion threats from the very beginning of construction. And apartment fire doors are an indispensable part to help residents escape safely when an incident occurs. It is not surprising that fire doors and other fire prevention support structures of the building are considered important factors that attract residents to choose.
And of course, using apartment fire doors is not a trend, but a necessity for people’s safe lives.
Why do apartment fire doors “score”?
When talking about the benefits of apartment fire doors, people will definitely mention safety first. The reason why fire doors have good fire resistance is due to the constituent parts, the most important being the core.
Normally, the cores of fireproof doors are made from insulating foam, glass wool, and other, more modern materials than high-quality fireproof panels. This part of the fireproof door is considered one of the most important factors that help the door achieve the prescribed fireproof standards.
Currently, there are a number of fireproof door products that meet EI fireproof standards (standards regulating fire resistance limits of fireproof materials) from EI50 (50 minutes) to EI150 (150 minutes). It is known that fireproof door products achieving EI150 – the highest standard that fireproof doors have achieved to date – all use fireproof panels produced by FireshieldPRO technology from KH Shield Company. Accordingly, in case a fire spreads quickly, apartment fire doors will open a safe path to protect human lives. The longer the door can withstand fire, the more likely it is that damage to people and property will be significantly reduced.
