Warringtonfire experts will be demonstrating how to correctly install a fire door including the frame, architraves and ironmongery. There is a legal requirement for manufacturers of fire doors to demonstrate the ability of their products to resist the passage and spread of fire. However, if they are not properly installed, their fire resistance capabilities can be seriously compromised. Warringtonfire’s and BM TRADA’s certification schemes have been designed to provide reassurance to specifiers, contractors and end users that the product they have chosen has been installed correctly and that it should perform as intended.
