UAP Support Fire Door Safety Week!

UAP are pleased to support this year’s Fire Door Safety Week. The campaign will run from Monday 25th September to Sunday 1st October.

This initiative founded by the British Woodworking Federation, the BWF-CERTIFIRE Fire Door Scheme and the UK’s Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS), aims to educate people on the critical role that fire doors play in every public, commercial and multiple occupancy building.

Fire Door Safety Week seeks to engage and educate people, helping every property owner to understand the correct specification, supply, installation, operation, inspection and maintenance of fire doors.

UAP are pledging support to raise awareness and improve fire safety by highlighting the importance door hardware is in ensuring a door is as fire resistant as possible.

Fire Check products

We supply a range of hardware solutions with quality and fire durability in mind. All of our Fire Resistant products use the most innovative materials to slow down the spread of fire through a door and have been stringently fire tested to meet the strict quality criteria.

Our portfolio of fire rated products include letter plates, door viewers, cylinders, door closers, chains, numbers and door knockers.

Fire Rated Features 

The revolutionary intumescent lining, found in both the UAP fire rated letter plates and door viewers, expands to 50 times its size, sealing any gaps in the door hardware, meaning less smoke is able to seep through the door.

In a fire situation it is not only how quickly materials burn, but how structures stay intact. The non-heat absorbing washers prevent heat transfer from the screws to the plastic surrounding the metal fixings, reducing the time it takes for a fire to spread through the door.

Our aluminium and heavy duty stainless steel letter plates have been third party tested and awarded the 30 minute fire resistance certificate for a 40-80mm door profile. This means they have proven that they can withstand the effects of fire for at least 30 minutes.
