Fire Steel Doors in Kenya
Fire steel doors in Kenya are commonly used in both residential and commercial buildings for fire protection and security. These doors are made from steel, which provides a strong barrier against fire, smoke, and heat. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and slow down the spread of fire, offering crucial time for evacuation or for firefighters to control the fire.
Here are key points about fire steel doors in Kenya:
1. Material and Construction
- Steel: The main material used is steel, which provides excellent strength, durability, and fire resistance.
- Fire Ratings: Fire steel doors in Kenya typically come with fire ratings ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the level of fire protection required. The rating indicates how long the door can withstand fire without failing.
- Insulation: The door may have an insulation core (like mineral core, rock wool, or polyurethane) to enhance its fire resistance and thermal insulation.
2. Types of Fire Steel Doors
- Single or Double Doors: Fire doors can be single or double, depending on the size of the opening and the fire protection requirements.
- Swing or Sliding: While swing doors are more common, sliding fire doors may also be used in areas with space constraints or where an automatic system is required.
- Custom Designs: Some companies in Kenya offer custom designs to meet specific building codes, aesthetic preferences, or functional requirements.
3. Applications
- Commercial Buildings: Fire doors are essential in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and shopping malls to separate fire zones and protect escape routes.
- Industrial Areas: In factories and warehouses, fire doors are used to contain fire and protect workers and assets.
- Residential Buildings: Fire doors are also used in apartment buildings, especially for separating different units or protecting stairwells.
4. Compliance and Standards
- Fire steel doors must meet the local building codes and safety standards, such as the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and the National Construction Authority (NCA) guidelines.
- International standards like ISO 3008, BS 476, or EN 1634 might also be used, depending on the specifications.
5. Installation and Maintenance
- Professional installation is important to ensure that the door fits correctly and functions properly in the event of a fire.
- Regular maintenance and inspection are required to ensure the doors remain functional, particularly the seals and the hardware that allow the door to close properly.
6. Vendors and Suppliers
- There are several local suppliers and manufacturers of fire steel doors in Kenya, some of which include:
- Kenya Steel Fabricators
- Albany Manufacturing Ltd.
- Fire Doors Ltd.
- These companies often offer fire doors that meet the required fire ratings, with additional features such as acoustic or blast protection.
7. Pricing
- The cost of fire steel doors in Kenya varies based on factors like size, fire rating, design, and any additional features (e.g., acoustic performance or security features). A basic fire steel door might start from around Ksh 15,000 to Ksh 50,000 or more for custom doors with higher fire ratings and added features.
