When you open your own business, you have to face a lot of difficulties, one of which is to ensure the security of the premises. To protect the office from hacking, first, first of all, take care of a quality door that will be effectively protected from intrusion attempts or external influences( such as scratches, moisture, etc.).

According to the basic provisions of fire safety, if the office is located in a residential area and the door opens onto a common staircase, it must necessarily be fireproof. In other cases, for example, if the office is located in a business center, installing a fire-resistant door is not necessary, you can choose absolutely any, depending on the objectives pursued( safety, attractiveness or convenience of use).

Very popular are metal structures, the finish of which can be made of different materials:

• vinyl skid;
• laminate;
• mdf;
• powder coating;
• Solid oak.

Fire doors

Do not forget about these special doors, because they provide maximum protection of the premises and in some cases are simply necessary.

What is the reason for such a high protection?

The fittings are made of heat-resistant material, and the gypsum inserts near the locks protect against overheating. The door leaf is filled with a balsam-fiber plate. Seals protect both from cold, and hot smoke, fire. Both the box and the door leaf are covered with a powder-polymer coating.

What is the limit of fire resistance should be at the entrance door to the office?

The best option is fire doors with IE30 or IE60 marking, they will be protected from penetration of fire for 30 and 60 minutes respectively.

Do I need to sacrifice the appearance of the door for security reasons?

Fireproof doors can be decorated with decorative elements, panels. Do not use flammable elements( leather upholstery, etc).

What is more profitable to buy, a conventional metal door or fireproof?

Metal doors decorated with vinyl or laminates, for example, are cheaper than fire resistant doors, but the structures with a more effective exterior finish( MDF, powder coating) are approximately the same as fire doors.

Where it is better to buy the front door

It is definitely better to work with companies that have exhibition halls in which you can visually evaluate the products. It is always easier to make a choice, when you look not at the picture on the Internet, but on the real design. There you can also talk to a manager who can answer most of the questions of interest.

Some companies act as intermediaries, that is, they do not have their own production, they buy the doors from the manufacturers and resell them. Naturally, they raise the price of products a little.

It is more profitable to cooperate with companies that are engaged in independent production, as they do not make extra charges for products and give a longer warranty on it.

How to find a worthy company of the manufacturer

Among the many companies it is not so easy to find the only one with which you can cooperate on mutually beneficial terms. Everyone is looking for her own way and I want to tell only about my personal experience.

The task was to find a good fire door to the office in the shortest possible time. The search for manufacturing companies was conducted in Moscow and the region, and since time was limited, they went straight to the exhibition halls and inspected the production options.

Now about each company in order.

Max-doors - the first company to which they applied. A rich assortment at quite affordable prices, pleasant managers. The only problem is that there were no fire doors in the exhibition hall at all, and only three models were offered to produce, which did not quite fit the cost and appearance.

Moscow doors - the company has 20 years in the market for the production of metal doors, there are plenty to choose from, but prices "bite" and delivery / installation also at an additional cost.

SK-Titan - pleasant managers who happily talked about their products, the prices are not high, but the range of fire-resistant doors is also not very big and it is likely that they are not certified, as the employees could not submit the relevant documents.

Esthete - the company has been manufacturing for more than 10 years, fire doors for all tastes at affordable prices, and installation is completely free. There was an opportunity to see the products live, but most of all it was pleasant that the guarantee on the door is given for 10 years.

The company Estet was the favorite.

The choice of the manufacturer and the door itself is yours, do not save on your own and employees - choose only certified products from the company that can give a long-term guarantee.
