Fire protection sliding doors are an optimal solution for both meeting fire protection requirements and realising an aesthetically pleasing room concept. They require hardly any compromises in the building's appearance and at the same time allow barrier-free passage.
In addition, their space-saving design and low interference with operational processes make them a clever solution to conventional swing door drives.
Function of fire protection sliding doors
Sliding fire doors are always self-closing, as prescribed for all fire doors, by being coupled to a fire alarm system or an individual smoke detector. In the event of a fire alarm, the closing function of the fire protection sliding door is thus automatically triggered.
Possible places of employment:
- Hospitals and doctors' surgeries
- Retirement homes
- Hotels and restaurants
- Commercial kitchens
- Laboratories
Sliding door variants
Fire protection sliding doors are available with single or double-leaf elements. The automatic version reacts to approaching persons by means of radar detectors, manual pushbuttons, light curtains or sensor strips. It is recommended if doors are opened and closed frequently in everyday life. Exemplary areas of application for automatic sliding fire doors are therefore care facilities or hotels. Alternatively, "sleeping" doors (with manual operation) are possible, which are normally open in everyday life and only close automatically in case of fire.
Important: Fire protection sliding doors are subject to an annual inspection requirement. If they are located in escape and rescue routes, maintenance is even required every six months.
