Fire doors for hotels & hospitality

Bedroom, corridor and back-of-house fire doors kept compliant without disturbing guests.

Hotels, hostels and serviced apartments have sleeping guests who do not know the building, so bedroom and corridor fire doors carry a lot of the fire strategy. Work needs to happen room by room around occupancy, with no noise in quiet hours.

What do hotels & hospitality typically need?

  • Room-by-room inspection around occupancy
  • Bedroom door closers and smoke seals
  • Back-of-house and kitchen doors
  • Planned maintenance with a fixed annual cost

Questions we're asked

How long does a fire door inspection take?

Typically 10 to 20 minutes per door, depending on access and how many defects need photographing. A block with 40 communal doors is usually a single day on site.

Do you need to remove the doors?

No. Inspections are non-intrusive. The inspector measures, operates and photographs each door in place and only lifts away removable items such as letter-plate covers where it is safe to do so.

Can intumescent strips be painted?

Brush and fin smoke seals should never be painted, because paint stops them working. Some intumescent strips tolerate a light coat, but the safest rule is to mask all seals before decorating and replace any that have been painted.

What is the difference between an intumescent strip and a smoke seal?

An intumescent strip expands in heat to seal the gap during a fire. A smoke seal, often a brush or blade, blocks cold smoke at lower temperatures. Smoke control doors, marked with an S such as FD30S, need both.
