The difference between life and death

摘要

The last few years have brought a much-needed wake-up call on fire safety, not just for the fenestration industry, but for the construction industry and society more generally. And rightly so - as they can be the difference between life and death. Fire doors are not ordinary doors, they are a carefully engineered fire safety device and are critical to the fire safety of a building. They act as a barrier to a fire, stop smoke, and allow precious time for people to escape or survive until rescue. They also reduce the damage caused by a fire and smoke and provide the emergency services with a protected route to access the building.
