Warringtonfire is to showcase live demonstrations at The Fire Safety and Security Event at the NEC Tuesday 30 April to Thursday 2 May 24, where visitors will be able to watch a walkthrough on how to correctly install a fire door.
There is a legal requirement for manufacturers of fire doors to demonstrate the ability of their products to resist the passage and spread of fire but Warringtonfire is also warning that if fire doors are not properly installed, their fire resistance capabilities can be seriously compromised.
For this reason, Warringtonfire and BM Trada representatives will also be highlighting third-party installer certification schemes, which have been designed to provide reassurance to specifiers, contractors and end users that the product they have chosen has been installed correctly and should perform as intended. This will be demonstrated through showing the correct fire door installation procedure, as set out by the FIRAS certification scheme.
Technical governance manager Peter Barker said: “The correct installation of a fire door is vital to maintaining compliance whilst also offering the full protection in case of an emergency. If you’re at the show we’ll also be performing and example PAS 24 annex assessment, explaining how we test to make sure doors are secure and safe from outside attack. It will be one not to be missed, so come and say hello to our team if you get the chance.”
The Element, Warringtonfire and BM TRADA teams will be at stand 4/P2 across all three days of the show in Birmingham.,
