Great Fire Protection

Our fire doorsets are made to resist fires for 30 or 60 minutes. This is important in hospitals, where people might not be able to move quickly. Hospital fire safety needs to be taken seriously, and our doorsets help a lot. Hospitals have many people who need extra care during emergencies, so having strong fire protection is a must.

Our FD60 fire doors for hospitals can stop fires for up to 60 minutes. That surpasses the requirements set out by current UK fire safety regulations, and the extra time our doorsets provide can increase the chance of safe egress for building occupants. It also affords the Fire and Rescue Services attending more time to do their job – responding to the emergency and safeguarding life. Gerda Security doorsets are also designed to prevent the spread of smoke which is often the most dangerous element of a fire emergency .

An Ideal Choice for Deployment in Hospitals

We know hospitals need special fire doorsets, and we truly believe that our doorsets are an ideal option when it comes to choosing fire doors for hospitals. Our doorsets keep people safe from fire and help the hospital run smoothly. They have special tags that make it easy to check if they need fixing using the G-Smart® app. This helps the hospital make sure that all their Gerda Security doorsets are working well all the time.

Complete Door Sets for Full Protection

At Gerda Security, we give you the whole, complete doorset, including the frame, leaf, and other elements such as kick plates, push plates etc., as one unit. This is important because the doorset – the entire combination of frame, leaf etc. – is what is subject to our primary-owned testing process. We don’t test parts separately, and then install them together, we test the very same combinations that we install at your premises, and we make sure everything works together perfectly to keep you safe in the event of a fire emergency.

We have steel and timber doorsets. Steel doorsets are tough for busy areas, and wooden doorsets look nice but are still safe. This means hospitals can have doorsets that look good and keep people safe in every part of the building.

Expert Installation and Maintenance

We can provide installation specialists, who ensure your fire doorsets are properly installed. This is crucial to make sure the doorsets are always in working order, and provide the protection that they are rated for if a fire does occur. Keeping your Gerda Security doorsets well-maintained is essential, and as we’ve mentioned above, it’s something that the G-Smart® app can help you with.
