Double fire doors: our service in Gorseinon
From the SA4 postcode district outwards, we take on double fire doors across Gorseinon for homes, blocks and workplaces.
Fire doors in Gorseinon protect escape routes in care homes, light industrial buildings and schools alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Double doors on wards, school corridors and lobbies in Gorseinon take heavy use, so closing sequence and meeting-edge seals get extra attention. Leaf-and-a-half doors are a practical option for Gorseinon care homes and schools that need occasional wide access.
Leaf-and-a-half for wider routes
Leaf-and-a-half doors give a usable everyday opening through the main leaf, with the smaller leaf opened for beds, trolleys or deliveries. They are common in care homes, hospitals and schools. The smaller leaf may be held with flush bolts; any bolts and their positions must be covered by the evidence.
Each installation includes:
- Closers matched to each leaf
- Flush bolts and hold-opens within evidence
- Meeting-stile intumescent and smoke seals
- Door coordinators where meeting edges are rebated
The regulations behind fire doors in Gorseinon
Fire door work in Gorseinon follows Welsh building regulations and the Welsh Approved Document B. The Fire Safety Order 2005 covers workplaces and the shared parts of residential buildings here too, placing the duty on the responsible person.
The English regulation 10 checking regime does not extend to Gorseinon, so how often doors are checked comes from the fire risk assessment. We hand over evidence that fits whatever regime your assessor sets.
