Hawaii Fire Rated Door Systems
Fire rated doors, covering the various regulatory requirements, are an essential part of your overall loss control strategy. They are critical for protecting your employees and assets in case of a fire. An effective fire rated door will provide your employees the time required to evacuate the building by slowing the rate of burn and reducing the incidence of smoke inhalation. They also protect your assets by buying time to allow fire services to get on site and control the fire.
The US Fire Administration (USFA) reported that in 2011 there were 1,389,500 fires resulting in 3005 deaths and 17,500 injuries – the estimated financial losses being a estimated $11.7 billion.
Fire Doors have certain requirements that must be met to achieve a fire rating. They must:
- Act just like a standard door
- Allow easy escape in the event of a fire
- Stop the fire from spreading to other areas of the building
- Protect life and property by reducing smoke inhalation and other airborne hazards
