Leader Making A Vital Contribution To Your Safekeeping
 
In 2020, the UK saw the brunt of 37 000 residential fires. This number is excluding all fires that broke out and gutted any other kind of property. While the financial loss of such a fire is immense, it is usually the loss of lives or even injury that is leaving the most heartfelt pain in those involved in the situation. Coupled with another staggering statistic namely that about 81% of all fire doors in the UK are not correctly installed, it is evident that those residing in the UK are in a vulnerable position when they would ever have to face a fire.
“Our team is always emphasizing the importance of the correct installation of fire doors. You might have invested in the most advanced premium quality fire door but if the installation wasn’t done according to specifications, the door might mean absolutely nothing. A premium standard fire door is set to slow down the rate with which any fire is spreading to give fire brigades an additional 30 minutes to take the necessary steps to minimise damage to the property and to get any trapped ones out. The same door will only last about 5 minutes if the installation wasn’t done correctly,” says Jonny Millard, the general manager of AJM Fire and Safety.
This team has all the necessary certification to do proper installations and inspections of the fire doors on your property. To help to make the nation more knowledgeable about the topic of fire protection, this team shares a wealth of information in their Knowledge Hub. This is the platform they’ve created to help the public with advice and guidance on what to know about the systems they have in place on their properties. One of the vital nuggets of information they share is that you need to have a look at your fire door to see if it carries a mark of certification. This certification label will indicate who the manufacturer is as well as their contact details. If the fire doors on your property don’t have such a certification, then it is not a proper fire door you have in place.
“It is also good to know if the fire door has the correct number of hinges as this is a vital part of the ironmongery. Gaps between the door and the ironmongery can increase the flow of air fuelling the fire while it is also a place where smoke and flames can leak through. There should be no gaps wider than 3 mm. Yet, it is always best to have our team come and inspect your door to make sure that you will be protected at all times,” Millard further stated.
