The installation of fire doors by Kiasu Fire & Security is fast and efficient. We provide this critical system for commercial spaces to ensure compliance with UK regulations, safeguard valuable assets and to ensure the safety of occupants.

Fire doors are a vital piece of building fire safety equipment as they increase the time that occupants have to evacuate by creating protected escape routes and containing the fire in certain areas to protect valuable assets.

By containing the fire within certain areas of the building it allows you to safeguard the most expensive equipment and machinery plus lowers the risk of extensive damage to the infrastructure saving you money.

Having a commercial fire alarm system that works in tandem with fire doors can have a positive knock on effect by even having the potential to save you money on insurance.

Insurance providers often require businesses to implement fire safety measures that include the installation of fire doors, thus, failure to comply with requirements may lead to increased insurance premiums costing you money.

Fire doors not only save you money and protect occupants, assets and infrastructure but also provide peace of mind, knowing that you have safeguarded the facility as best as possible in case of an emergency.
