Doors for public buildings: fire, sound and maintenance

Doors in schools, institutions and office buildings must meet requirements that an ordinary home rarely sets. It pays to clarify them early in the project.

Start with the requirements of the room

Every door has a function: escape route, separation between fire compartments, sound barrier between offices or simply a passage. The function decides whether the door must be fire rated, sound insulating or both.

Durability in daily use

In a busy corridor doors take knocks from trolleys, bags and chairs. Solid or heavily built door leaves, strong frames and replaceable hardware last longer than light solutions.

The surface can be veneer, lacquer or paint, depending on how much wear the room gets.

Documentation and marking

Clients and consultants need papers that follow the project: data sheets, certifications and marking where required. Always ask which documentation comes with the door.

Adapting to the building

Older buildings rarely have standard dimensions. We produce doors in our own workshop, so height, width and expression can be adapted, even when a series must look alike across floors.
