Fire safety and whole protection are crucial in commercial buildings, and door selection plays an important role in saving lives and properties. Doorland is a brand specializing in high-quality wood fire-rated doors, safety assured with excellent styles in design.
Understanding Fire-Rated and Smoke-Rated Doors
Fire-rated doors can take fire for a specific time: usually between 20 and 90 minutes. They contain flames and smoke, thus giving the occupants more time to leave and helps in minimizing the damage to property. Smoke-rated doors are the ones that prevent the spread of smoke as it can cause more danger than fire does. Both types are important when it comes to efficient fire safety intervention in commercial buildings.

Choosing the Right Fire-Rated Doors for Your Business

Emergency Exits and Fire-Rated Doors
Emergency exits are a facility for any commercial space. Installation of fire-rated doors on exits ensures the safety of the building through a safe route for evacuation. On the other hand, Doorland’s smoke-rated doors give extra protection against harmful gases for better security measures.
The Role of Smoke-Rated Doors in Fire Safety
Smoke inhalation ranks among the leading causes of fire deaths. Smoke-rated doors are designed to limit the spread of toxic gases, thereby decreasing exposure during emergencies. At Doorland, we offer only the finest quality smoke-rated doors to reinforce installations of fire-rated doors.
Upgrading Your Commercial Doors for Better Safety
Many older buildings lack modern fire-rated doors. The replacement of old fire doors with new fire-rated and smoke-rated doors can greatly enhance safety. Doorland offers solutions for companies interested in improving fire protection without compromising the aesthetics of the building design.
Fire Safety Regulations and Code Compliance
Fire safety standards are dependent on the location, building type, and mode of use. Doorland guarantees that every fire-rated door is in conformity with the contemporary fire code and standards of the industry. We partner with our clients to ensure the doors we work with are in compliance with local regulations and the safety inspection regulations.
How Fire Doors Work During an Emergency
In the event of a fire, the operation of fire-rated doors includes the closing of these doors automatically to confine the fire to a given area. Meanwhile, smoke-rated doors additionally prevent the spread of noxious gases, thus preserving the safety of other sections of the building. This way of containment allows emergency responders to gain control of the situation more effectively.
Fire-Rated Doors in Multi-Tenant Buildings
For multi-tenant buildings, fire-rated doors serve as the main deterrent against the spread of fire from one unit to another. Doorland’s solutions are specially designed for office, retail, and mixed-use settings that require advanced levels of fire protection.
