When it comes to fire safety in your building, fire doors are a vital part of your protection plan. Not only are they essential for meeting legal requirements, but they also help keep people safe in the event of a fire. Fire doors are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, providing critical time for evacuation. With the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 in place, ensuring that your fire doors are in good condition is more important than ever.
Fire doors are specially designed to resist fire and smoke for a certain period. They help to contain fire and smoke within a specific area, stopping it from spreading through the building. Whether it’s your flat door, communal hallway door, or cupboard door, fire doors help to compartmentalise fire and smoke, ensuring escape routes remain clear and safe.
Types of Fire Doors
As of January 2023, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 have introduced even stricter regulations for fire safety in buildings. If your building has two or more separate residential units, you must ensure your fire doors are regularly checked. This includes having the fire doors inspected annually, with more frequent checks for taller buildings (above 11 metres).
