Fire exit doors in Cwmbran

Fire exit doors for Cwmbran buildings

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Cwmbran, we offer fire exit doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Cwmbran has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, family homes after loft conversions and houses with integral garages, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

Exit doors in Cwmbran can be fitted with outside access and alarm options that never stop people getting out. Shops, warehouses and schools in Cwmbran each need exit hardware matched to who will use the door in an emergency.

Panic bars or emergency hardware?

Panic hardware to BS EN 1125, such as push bars, is designed for places where members of the public may be present and may not know the building. Emergency exit hardware to BS EN 179, such as push pads or levers, is for areas used by trained staff who know how the exit works. The right choice depends on who will be using the door in an emergency.

What you get:

• Single and double exit doors in steel or timber
• Weather and threshold detailing
• Assessment of whether fire resistance is required
• BS EN 1125 panic hardware or BS EN 179 emergency hardware
