Why the garage door matters
Fires that start in garages can grow quickly and fill a hallway with smoke. The door between the garage and the house is the barrier that buys time for everyone inside to get out. It is one of the few doors inside a home that is expected to be both fire-rated and self-closing, and it often has a step or threshold that needs careful detailing.
What you get:
- Product details for building control or your solicitor
- Threshold detailing for smoke control
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Intumescent and smoke seals
