Robust UK has announced the expansion of its RISER-DOR range with the introduction of a fire-rated and smoke-tested double doorset option. This development is significant for UK fire safety professionals seeking compliant and effective fire safety solutions.
Enhanced Fire Safety Features
The new double doorsets in the RISER-DOR range offer up to one hour of fire resistance, providing crucial protection by containing the spread of fire and smoke while maintaining safe access to essential building services. According to International Fire & Safety Journal, these doorsets have been independently smoke-tested to BS EN 1634-3, making them suitable for commercial, educational, and industrial settings.
Fire and Smoke Protection Compliance
The RISER-DOR doorsets are fire-rated to E120 for single doorsets and E60 for double doorsets. This ensures they preserve the integrity of service shafts by preventing the passage of fire and smoke between floors. Their bi-directional fire performance allows them to contain a fire within the shaft and prevent flames from entering the opening, thereby supporting safer evacuation routes and complying with Approved Document B.
Durability and Customisation
Manufactured from Magnelis steel, the RISER-DOR offers superior corrosion resistance and is available with a warranty of up to 10 years. The material forms a self-healing protective layer on cut edges, enhancing durability and extending the product’s lifecycle. Each doorset is made to order, with options for polyester powder-coating in any colour, ensuring a modern appearance that blends seamlessly with interior designs.
Who Benefits from the RISER-DOR Range?
The RISER-DOR range is particularly beneficial for building owners and facilities managers in multi-storey buildings where vertical shafts house critical services such as electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems. The enhanced fire and smoke protection features are essential in maintaining compartmentation, thus ensuring the safety of building occupants and compliance with fire safety regulations.
Next Steps for Implementation
With the introduction of these enhanced doorsets, Robust UK provides a greater choice for applications requiring both fire and smoke protection. Professionals involved in the design and maintenance of building safety systems should consider integrating these doorsets to enhance overall building safety and compliance. The availability of customisation options also allows for aesthetic integration without compromising on safety.
