Call for Complete Fire Doorsets Enforcement
dhf calls for UK Government to enforce the use of complete fire doorsets in the wake of Grenfell
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, dhf (Door & Hardware Federation) is stressing the vital importance of compartmentation and the terrible risks of getting it wrong. In a bid to prevent the spread of fires in multi-occupancy buildings such as tower blocks and office buildings, the Tamworth-based trade association is calling for a change in Building Regulations, and for the UK government to enforce the use of complete doorsets in fire compartmentation. Fire compartmentation is the term used for the sub-division of a building into manageable areas of risk, to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, and provide adequate means of escape. This involves the use of fire doors on individual flat entrance doors as well as those used in escape corridors and stairways. Fire doors are one of the most important and effective elements of a building?s passive fire protection, with more than three million being installed in the UK each year. Correctly manufactured, installed and maintained, they can save lives by protecting the route of evacuation and provide emergency services with safe access to the building.
