Why Fire Doors Are Essential in Schools
School buildings have high traffic and contain vulnerable groups, making reliable fire protection crucial. Fire doors:
-
Help protect pupils and staff
-
Maintain compartmentation to slow fire & smoke
-
Protect escape routes
-
Safeguard IT suites, labs, equipment rooms & storage
-
Reduce risk during school events, overcrowded corridors & busy transitions
