Be safe, sure and protected with Stanair’s LPS1197 certification

Fire doors and other fire-rated products are a crucial element of safety within any building and the benefits of proactively maintaining them should not be underestimated.  

 

But what is a fire-rated product and how can their regular maintenance through Stanair keep you not only legally compliant but also ensure that your site, staff and product will receive the best protection possible if the worst should happen? 

 

 

Fire doors are specially constructed doors which are designed to compartmentalise a building in the case of a fire. Basically, these doors work as an effective barrier against the spread of smoke, fumes and flames across the premises and allow for safe evacuation.  

 

If an area of your premises is at especial risk from a fire – a kitchen area for example – then fire rated shutters and doors or fire and smoke curtains can offer optimum protection for you and your staff. 

 

All fire doors have a special fire rating which indicates how long they can perform their duty – this can be up to four hours depending on the type of product and where it is placed.  

 

Fire Doors can range from special roller shutters and fire rated doors to fire and smoke curtains. However, all share a similar purpose – to compartmentalise a fire and its effects. 

 

Fire doors should not be confused with a fire exit door. Fire exit doors are designed to help assist in quick evacuation in case of emergency – you can learn more about them here in our special blog. 

 

 

We recommend that you arrange for your fire products to be fully serviced every six months.  

 

Afterall, if your fire door fails to work during a fire, it can no longer offer its protection to you and your staff. 

 

Therefore, it is essential to not only ensure that the fire door activates as it should when the fire alarm sounds but is mechanically sound and not suffering from any wear and tear. It is crucial to only use a competent professional to conduct those tests as their trained and experienced eye will be able to spot not only any current but also potential future issues.
