Fire protection The apartments are designed to meet fire containment standards in accordance with the building regulations. To provide fire containment within the apartment: 1 - The FD60 front door, has an automatic adjustable closer unit fitted onto the frame and will contain a fire for 60 minutes - An intrumescent strip (Image 1) is recessed into the top and sides of the door frame (when subjected to heat the strip will automatically expand to reduce the rate at which heat and smoke penetrate the doorways) To maintain protection and contain a fire: - Keep fire doors properly closed at all times - Do not remove or disconnect the automatic door closer, or hold doors open - Do not store materials that might exacerbate a fire - Do not obstruct escape routes or the access into or out of the apartment
