Few things are more fundamental to the fire safety of a building than the fire protection of the structural skeleton since failure can lead to the premature collapse.

The necessary penetration of services through compartment walls and floors causes the failure of integrity and insulation to occur where gaps around these services have been inadequately fire-stopped.

Fire doors perform a vital compartment function and an important aesthetic role in buildings of all types. They are required to reinstate fire protection separation and protect means of escape from fire and smoke.

One of the problems associated with fire protection in exisiting buildings and heritage properties is being able to bring the building up to the current fire regulations, whilst being able to maintain the architectural detail of the original building.
