Fire Door Test Video

In support of Fire Door Safety Week, BM TRADA live-streamed a fire door test yesterday to show the crucial role played by fire doors in saving lives.  The test is available to view on demand for only 1 week!  The 30-minute fire resistance test showed two identical fire doors subjected to a prolonged period of fire.  One of the doors was correctly specified and installed, while the other dramatically demonstrates what can happen when mistakes are made.  The test shows the significant difference in fire resistance between the two doors, highlighting the importance of correct specification and installation and clearly demonstrating why a door must be adequately maintained throughout its life.  Click here for some additional information about the test results from BM TRADA, and click here to access the video.….
