Fire Door Installation with High-Temperature Resistant Glass
Project Overview: This installation involved fitting a custom fire door with glass panels, specifically designed to resist temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius. The project was part of a larger renovation, converting a lounge into a kitchen, where building controls mandated the use of fire-resistant materials to meet safety regulations.
Key Details:
- Glass Specifications: The glass installed is resistant to temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius, ensuring enhanced safety in the event of a fire.
- Building Controls Compliance: The installation was in direct response to building regulations, which required fire-rated doors and glass due to the change in room usage from a lounge to a kitchen.
- Installation Process: The installation was carried out with precision, ensuring both the door and glass were securely fitted and met all safety standards.
Why This Matters: Installing fire doors with high-temperature resistant glass is crucial in any environment where safety regulations are stringent, such as in kitchen areas. This installation not only complies with regulations but also provides peace of mind that the property is well-protected.
Best Practices:
- Always verify building control requirements before proceeding with installations, especially in conversions where room usage is changed.
- Use materials that exceed the minimum safety standards to ensure long-term durability and protection.
- Ensure that the installation process is carried out with precision to meet both safety and aesthetic requirements.
This project is a great example of how we balance safety, compliance, and design in our installations.
