Fire Doors

Installing fire-rated industrial doors is the first line of defence against the spread of fire. These doors are specially designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent flames from engulfing adjacent areas. Thoroughbred Industrial Doors offers a range of fire door options to suit the specific needs of your commercial space, providing peace of mind in the event of an unforeseen fire emergency.


Smoke Curtains

Smoke inhalation can be just as dangerous as the fire itself. Smoke curtains are an ingenious addition to your fire safety arsenal. These curtains deploy automatically in the event of a fire, creating a barrier that contains smoke within a designated area. Thoroughbred Industrial Doors can seamlessly integrate these curtains into your existing industrial door systems, enhancing the overall safety of your commercial building.

Thoroughbred Industrial Doors offers a variety of sturdy and secure emergency exit doors that are designed to facilitate a swift and safe evacuation in the event of a fire. These doors are not only practical but also comply with safety regulations, ensuring your business meets the necessary standards.


Fire Suppression Systems

Thoroughbred Industrial Doors can collaborate with your business to integrate advanced fire suppression technologies, such as sprinkler systems and fire extinguishers, into your commercial building. These systems can significantly reduce the spread of fire and provide an initial line of defence until professional help arrives.
