Frequently Asked Questions About Smoke Doors
What is the purpose of smoke doors?
The ultimate purpose of smoke doors is to prevent the spread of smoke and toxic fumes from one room into the next. As smoke doors are designed to be airtight, smoke is unable to travel through their frames, slowing down the spread of fire.
Smoke doors also provide an additional layer of safety for those trapped inside buildings during the spread of a fire. As smoke can become dangerous faster than fire can, they allow for a greater response time for occupants to evacuate.
Where are smoke doors required?
As per the Australian Business Code Board, businesses are legally required to ensure an exit facing smoke door is installed on each story of a commercial building. Buildings must install no less than two smoke doors on exits regardless of the size and capacity of the building. Smoke doors must provide access to an escape route such as a stairwell, hallway or exit bay, and are not required on doors that provide access to the outdoors.
How do you seal a door against smoke?
Doors can be sealed against smoke and toxic fumes by installing a smoke seal. To ensure compliance, all smoke doors must be outfitted with the correct associated smoke seal. Smoke seals can be easily installed using the heat-resistant adhesive provided.
To ensure your smoke seal is properly installed and functioning, it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions of the door you’re installing.
Do smoke doors need to be tagged?
As per the Building Act 1975, all buildings that have been approved since 1976 are required to be fitted with tags. This also applies to any doors, door frames, smoke seals and hardware that was replaced after 1976. This ensures all smoke doors are properly installed, inspected and maintained and that they remain functioning in the event of an emergency.
