There are many risks that face your commercial or residential building. However, one of the most severe is the risk of fire. Fire can rapidly spread, destroying your valuables and potentially compromising the structural integrity of your home. So, to prevent fire damage many homeowners and businesses alike choose to protect their buildings with a variety of fire-mitigating techniques.


One of these techniques is the installation of a fire door. These doors are designed to protect individual rooms from fire and contain a fire so the situation does not spread. The spreading of fire is one of the most dangerous effects as it can occur extremely quickly. So, why should you install a fire door?



Cost-effective

On average, fire doors do cost more than your average household door. Though as a fire prevention and mitigation system they are incredibly good value for money. Installing sprinklers or fireproof membranes for example can rapidly become an incredibly expensive option and fire doors cost a fraction of the price.


Fast installation

Many fire prevention techniques take days and sometimes even weeks to install. After all, alarm and sprinkler systems all have complicated wiring and installation procedures to adhere to. Installing a fire door on the other hand is a far more simple process. The installation team simply remove the previous door and install a new fireproof option in its place. Of course, the doorway will have been measured beforehand but the actual fitting process should only take a matter of minutes.


Aesthetically pleasing

Contrary to popular belief many modern fire doors do come with sleek and stylish designs. You can of course opt for the more standard designs which promote brilliant safety standards. However, there are many more options available. Besides a fire door is a much more stylish addition to your home or office than a conspicuous set of sprinklers.


Guaranteed Quality

Another brilliant benefit to a fire door is its tried, tested, and proven ability to stop fires from spreading. Over the years fire doors have been through an extensive list of rigorous tests which have made them steadfast reliable options we know and love today. The doors are made from the best materials for the job and crafted with true care and diligence.


Fire prevention

Clearly, the first and most important reason to install a set of fire doors is to prevent the risk of fires spreading through your home or business. After all, the damage caused by a fire can prove extremely distressing and costly. Installing a high-quality fire door professionally will drastically reduce the risk of a fire spreading through the building. So, you can rest easy, safe in the knowledge that your building is prepared.
