The Importance of Specifying High-Quality Door Closers on Fire Doors

Building Products Index Ltd Door closers, Doors, fire resistant doors Leave a Comment

View the Geze entry on BPindex

Visit the Geze website

Andy Howland, Sales & Marketing Director at GEZE UK, discusses why specifying high quality door closers on fire doors is important…

Fire doors are essential components in building safety, acting as barriers that help contain smoke and flames during a fire. While the fire door itself must meet strict regulations, the quality of the door closer is equally crucial. Specifying high-quality door closers is vital for ensuring that fire doors function reliably, maintain safety standards, and enhance the users experience. Let’s now explore this in more detail.

Reliable Performance in Emergencies: The primary function of a fire door is to contain fires and protect escape routes. High-quality door closers are designed to ensure that fire doors close securely and completely after being opened. This capability is essential in preventing smoke and flames from spreading, thus providing occupants with crucial time to evacuate safely.

Compliance with Regulations: Fire safety regulations and building codes dictate specific requirements for fire doors and their hardware. High-quality door closers are typically tested to ensure they adhere to either EN1154 or EN1155. Specifying products that meet these standards ensures compliance with legal requirements and reduces liability for building owners.

Longevity Under High Traffic: Fire doors are often located in high-traffic areas, such as hallways and entry points. High-quality door closers are built from tested, durable materials in order to withstand frequent use without compromising their performance. Cheaper, low-quality models may wear out quickly, leading to malfunctioning doors that fail to close properly or safely.

Smooth Operation: High-quality door closers provide adjustable closing forces and speeds, allowing for a smooth, reliable and controlled closure. This feature is particularly important in environments where users may have varying levels of strength, such as in schools or healthcare facilities. A smoother operation minimises the risk of injury and enhances the overall user experience.

Accommodating Accessibility Needs: Fire doors must be accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. Quality door closers can be adjusted to ensure that the door opens with low force, closes gently and does not pose challenges for users with mobility issues. This attention to detail fosters an inclusive environment while still maintaining safety standards.

Reduced Maintenance Needs: Investing in high-quality door closers often results in lower maintenance costs over time. Reliable models require less frequent servicing, which can save building owners both time and money. In contrast, low-quality closers may need regular adjustments, repairs or replacements, leading to increased operational and product lifetime costs.

Cost Savings in the Long Run: While the initial investment in quality door closers may be higher, the long-term benefits outweigh the costs. Enhanced safety, reduced liability, and lower maintenance needs all contribute to a more cost-effective solution over the lifespan of the door and its hardware.

How is Honeywell revolutionising fire system testing and maintenance with innovative technology?

Building developers and building owners face many responsibilities and challenges when it comes to fire safety, particularly in multi-occupied settings. Advancements in fire safety technology are constantly evolving to meet these challenges and Honeywell Self-Test is the ground-breaking innovation that is revolutionising fire system maintenance.

In complex buildings and facilities, how can you prove that your fire system is compliant and that every single detector has been functionally tested, even in lift shafts, stairwells, and inaccessible rooms?

Traditional fire testing with a smoke pole and cup can be labor-intensive, while fire maintenance frequently disrupts daytime operations or incurs costly out-of-hours activities. Both scenarios are prone to inaccuracies due to access issues in complex buildings and the requirement to isolate the fire panel during testing, introducing additional risk.

Self-Test automates fire system maintenance and does not require physical access to locked rooms to perform functional fire tests. Self-Test eliminates the need for ladders, scaffolding, and scissor lifts to reach hard-to-access detectors, avoiding potential safety hazards, and reduces the need for out-of-hours testing. By automating functional fire testing, competent engineers can focus more time on thorough visual inspections to remain compliant.

How does Honeywell Self-Test work?

Self-Test detectors feature an internal module that generates smoke, allowing for functional testing of the optical sensor. A small fan expels the smoke through designated entry points, ensuring unobstructed detection in the event of a real fire. Additionally, the system includes an internal thermistor for safe heat sensor testing.

With the integration of an internal Bluetooth Low Energy Emitter (BLE), detectors seamlessly connect to a mobile app, enabling engineers to efficiently locate and inspect devices throughout a building while ensuring a discreet and non-invasive on-site presence.

With Self-Test, building owners can now prove that their fire detection systems undergo multiple tests a year, exceeding the prescribed once-a-year testing requirement by British Standard BS 5839-1.

The intuitive Honeywell Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) app offers a wide range of testing options tailored to specific building needs, emphasising efficiency and speed. Capture essential events, test results, and visual inspection information – enabling engineers to identify necessary corrective actions more effectively.

Traditionally, fire testing documentation relied on printed results, leaving room for dispute. The CLSS app captures all Self-Test activities, including the manual testing and visual inspection commentary with accompanying photographs. CLSS also records daily events, creating a comprehensive digital logbook stored securely in the cloud. This digital logbook ensures no information is lost, providing invaluable historical records for fault investigation and false alarm analysis.

DID YOU KNOW?

Self-Test is capable of functionally testing any size fire system in 35 minutes or less

Paving the way for digital transformation

As the sector continues to evolve, the need for digital solutions and streamlined fire safety maintenance processes increases. Honeywell’s Self-Test technology represents a forward-looking approach to fire safety, offering a future-proof solution for maintaining compliance and ensuring life safety in commercial and institutional settings.

Why do some cylinders have a reputation for quality and others not?

Building Products Index Ltd Heating, Hot Water Cylinders Leave a Comment

View the Kingspan entry on BPindex

Visit the Kingspan website

On the surface two hot water cylinders may appear virtually identical – maybe a small variation in the sizes available, or minor difference in the standing loss that’s negligible when looked at annually. So what makes some cylinders stand out and be perceived as higher quality than their competitors?

The reality is there are several factors that contribute to the overall quality of a cylinder and these split out between physical attributes of the cylinder such as material specification and design dimensions, and process related factors such as, variations in welding techniques or treatments and checks the cylinders go through in production, as well as the stringency to which these controls are applied.

The fact is there can be several subtle variations in the processes used by different manufacturers, that collectively can contribute to a significant variation in the quality and reliability of the finished product.

Kingspan Cylinders, who have been manufacturing water heaters since 1904, understand that an unvented cylinder is far more than the sum of its parts.

It requires the perfect alignment of premium raw materials and components combined with precise manufacturing processes.

Here are just some key factors to consider that make Kingspan’s Albion and Range Tribune cylinders stand out that you should know before choosing the next cylinder for your project:

  • The type of and grade of steel used in the cylinder
  • If the cylinder joints have been welded using oxygen-purged techniques
  • If pickling has been used to clean the cylinder
  • How the cylinder has been quality tested
  • If the cylinder coil design enables optimum performance
  • Designs that make cylinders easier to install, i.e. internal expansion, pre-plumbed models, cylinders with build-in buffer tank etc.

High-quality raw materials alone can’t guarantee a durable cylinder. That’s why Kingspan implements comprehensive controls throughout the manufacturing process to ensure every cylinder meets the highest standards. This includes thorough incoming goods certification and inspection, regular calibration of machines and systems, and 100% testing of every cylinder during production.

If you’re considering a lower cost hot water cylinder for your next project, ask yourself: “Why is it cheaper?” Has it undergone all the essential quality assurance stages that Kingspan’s cylinders go through? Were these stages applied thoroughly? Are the raw materials of the same high specification? Is the manufacturer using the right combination of all these factors?

Kingspan goes to great lengths to combine high-quality raw materials with strict manufacturing processes and advanced product design for one main reason: they understand that responsible specifiers, installers and homeowners recognise the importance and value of quality products, which is especially true for home heating systems that are used daily and need to be durable for decades to come.
