The importance of fire doors in case of fire

Fire is one of the most dangerous accidents that can cause great damage to people and property. To protect the safety of people and property in buildings, the installation of fire protection solutions, especially fire doors, becomes extremely necessary. This type of door plays an important role in preventing the spread of fire, smoke, and high temperatures from the fire area to neighboring areas, helping to protect people’s safety and minimize property damage. In particular, fireproof rolling doors are an optimal choice in many current projects thanks to their special features.

Fire doors and their importance

Fire doors are specially designed doors to withstand heat and prevent fire, often installed in areas such as exits, corridors, or locations that need to isolate the fire. Depending on the specific standards and requirements, fire doors can be made from a variety of materials such as steel, fire-resistant wood, or even special glass, each with different heat and fire resistance capabilities.

Fire doors not only help prevent the spread of fire but also limit the spread of smoke – a factor that causes suffocation and reduces visibility, seriously affecting the escape process. This is especially important in large buildings, apartments, offices, or industrial factories, where escape can be difficult without an effective fire door system.

Fire-resistant rolling doors: Modern solutions in fire safety

Among the types of fire-resistant doors, fire-resistant rolling doors stand out with their ability to automatically roll up or down to isolate a fire in a specific area. This type of door is often used in industrial zones, factories, basements or areas with large spaces, where traditional doors are difficult to meet the requirements of space and safety.

Fire-resistant rolling doors are made of fire-resistant steel and are integrated with temperature sensors, allowing them to automatically lower when detecting abnormal temperatures or when there is a fire alarm. Some fire-resistant rolling doors can withstand fire for 60 to 180 minutes, giving people in the building more time to evacuate and the fire department to handle the fire.

Fireproof rolling door

Advantages of fireproof rolling doors:

• Automatically lowers when a fire occurs: The automatic closing mechanism when the temperature rises helps prevent the fire from spreading to other areas.
• High durability: Made from sturdy steel materials, fireproof rolling doors are durable and have a long life.
• Space saving: Because the rolling door can roll up, it does not take up space like traditional doors, making it very suitable for areas with limited space.

Standards and regulations on fireproof doors

The installation and use of fireproof doors must comply with strict fireproof standards to ensure maximum safety. In Vietnam, TCVN 9383 standard regulates the heat resistance of fireproof doors, including criteria such as fire resistance time, smoke resistance, and insulation efficiency.

In addition, international standards such as EI standards have popular standards such as EI60, EI90, EI120 that are also widely applied, corresponding to the ability to withstand heat for 60, 90, and 120 minutes. These are important standards to evaluate the effectiveness of fire doors, especially fire-resistant rolling doors, in protecting buildings and people from fire.

Benefits of using fire doors in construction projects

Installing fire doors brings many practical benefits, including:

• Protecting lives: Fire doors help prolong escape time, protecting people from the spread of fire and smoke.
• Protecting property: Fire doors limit property damage by isolating fires, reducing the risk of spreading.
• Compliance with regulations: Many countries, including Vietnam, require buildings, especially apartments, shopping malls, and factories, to be equipped with fire-rated door systems that meet standards.

The future of fire-rated doors and solutions for modern buildings

Fire prevention solutions for modern buildings

With the development of technology, fireproof doors are increasingly improved in terms of quality and features. New fireproof materials such as Fireshieldpro fireproof panels or advanced fireproof materials are being widely used in the production of fireproof doors, helping to improve fireproof efficiency as well as the aesthetics of the project.

Fireproof rolling doors are also constantly being improved with the ability to combine sensors and intelligent control systems, helping to increase the effectiveness in detecting and dealing with fires. This will contribute to the construction of smarter, safer buildings in the future.

Looking back at the problem

Equipping fireproof doors, especially fireproof rolling doors, is not only a mandatory requirement of law but also an investment in safety and protection of life. In an era where constructions are increasingly developing and becoming more complex, fireproof doors are an essential solution to help minimize damage and protect people in the event of a fire.

Choosing the right type of fire door and complying with safety standards will ensure that you and your property are best protected in any emergency situation.
