Fire doors play a vital role in passive fire protection and safety. Internal fire doors help slow down and prevent the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building, therefore creating valuable time for occupants to vacate the building safely.

Fire safety has always been a subject to be taken seriously, but never more so than after the Grenfell Tower Tragedy in 2017, where it has now become a widespread topic of awareness. Fire doors play a vital role in the protection of safety throughout a building and a well-designed timber fire door will be the first line of defence if a fire breaks out.

Frequency of checks

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety Order) 2005 is designed to provide a minimum fire safety standard in all non-domestic premises. According to the Order, premises should be checked every 6 months. However high traffic areas which will no doubt experience a greater degree of damage and/or wear and tear are recommended more frequent checks. If you are unsure how often you should be checking your fire doors, Hollmark can assist with putting together a bespoke inspection and maintenance programme.
