The importance of reliable and compliant external flat entrance doorsets cannot be overstated. Gerda Security, a pioneer in fire safety solutions, offers meticulously tested doorsets designed specifically for high-risk buildings. Here we will explore the unique advantages of Gerda Security’s products, highlighting how our rigorous testing ensures compliance with modern building regulations and enhances overall safety.

External Flat Entrance Doorsets as a Compliance Requirement

High-rise buildings pose unique challenges in fire safety management, primarily due to their complex architecture and the high number of residents. This makes the choice of external flat entrance doors critical. Gerda Security’s doorsets are not just compliant solutions but are a significant element in the broader safety ecosystem of any high-rise building. Our external flat entrance fire doorsets exceed the standards set by BS EN 1634 – considered the more rigorous testing method – and are regularly updated to reflect the evolving regulations and technological advancements.

Benefits of Gerda Security Fire Doorsets

Gerda Security’s external flat entrance fire doors are engineered to provide more than just safety. Each doorset is designed with aesthetics and functionality in mind, ensuring that safety measures integrate seamlessly into the visual and practical demands of modern high-rise living.

Stringent Fire and Building Regulations Met with Excellence

External flat entrance doorsets by Gerda Security are designed with the latest fire and building regulations in mind. These regulations mandate that doorsets must stop the spread of fire and smoke for a specified duration, typically 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the building’s layout and height. Gerda Security takes this a step further by ensuring that all of our doorsets undergo rigorous testing to exceed these time frames, thereby providing enhanced protection in the event of a fire.You can explore our dedicated pages for the Safer Homes range and the Contemporary range for specific information and technical specifications.
