Fire Doors

BRISTOL: A History and Future.

In 1971, seven emirates joined forces to create the United Arab Emirates, with the goal of becoming a growing leader on an international
scale. The UAE’s focus has always been the safety of its land and people and Bristol was established in support of that same vision.

Bristol Fire Engineering, part of the Concorde – Corodex Group, is the leading firefighting and fire protection manufacturer in the Middle East
and has been unsurpassed in innovative firefighting solutions for more than 40 years.

We have been steadfast in our developments and have grown to become pioneers in the industry for unmatched quality and dependability,
longstanding commitment and unwavering dedication.

Our headquarters and manufacturing facility started in the UAE’s Emirate of Dubai, producing world-class firefighting systems and equipment
in cooperation with international know-how and technology with a grand vision to expand globally.

We strive to continue to adopt the highest international and national standards in line with the UAE’s goal to become the safest country in the
world.

Bristol was one of the first firefighting companies in the Middle East to receive an ISO 9001 certification, placing great emphasis on achieving
local and international approvals on product certifications such as Kite Mark, LPCB, UL listing, and FM approval.
Bristol is certified to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.

We focus on innovation by means of continual research and development of advanced firefighting solutions, ensuring we not only meet, but
exceed the demands of our rapidly changing market.

For decades, we have been proudly supplying various government entities and sectors such as the oil and gas, commercial, and industrial
sectors across the globe with world-class equipment and services.

Fire Doors R27745 R27746

Fire Doors are doors with fire-resistance rating and play an important role in fire protection and loss preven-
tion. They are used as part of a passive fire protection system to reduce the spread of fire or smoke between
compartments. Fire Doors enable safe escape from a building or structure during emergency situations such
as a fire or earthquake. Fire Doors serve a distinct purpose and have unique characteristics, which differ-
entiate them from other doors.

Ease of Access

Since fire doors are meant to be the safest exit points in cases of fire, they are usually painted with bright red color to be visible during emer-
gency, and are often attached with push bars for ease of opening during emergencies.

Visibility

In interior application to separate compartment zones, many Fire Doors are required to be fitted with vision panels to allow for flames and
smoke to be seen and avoid collisions.

Fire Rating

The most important attribute of Fire Doors is its fire rating. Fire rating is the door’s capability to withstand fire and remain intact for the duration.
Fire rating is a measure of the minutes/hours the fire door was able to maintain integrity while subjected to fire.

Air Tightness

Fire Doors serve as the access between the safe egress and a burning compartment, it is therefore important that fire doors do not permit smoke
to the safe side. Fire doors are fitted with smoke seals to address this factor.

Bristol Fire Engineering, recognizing the vital role of fire doors in providing safety and loss-prevention, utilizes its extensive experience in fire
engineering and introduces a product line of quality fire doors with great emphasis to the above attributes.

Infills
Honeycomb Door Infill

Honeycomb was originally developed as a structural core for military aircraft wings during World War II but was later used in standard metal
doors in 1957. Among its advantages are a high strength- to-weight ratio, uniform crushing strength, high shear strength, and excellent impact
resistance. It is durable and can be treated to resist decay and insects, and also provides sound deadening and insulating properties.

As door infill, the rigid honeycomb structure is integrated with the door to form hundreds of small I- beams with the door, with a uniform thickness
and flat surface that makes it easy to add lites, louvers or other features. It reinforces the full width and height of the door. Honeycomb Core
Doors may be used in exterior or interior applications.

Rockwool Door Infill

Rockwool, as the name implies is made by melting diabase rock mixed with coke and limestone, then converted to fibers. The raw material
diabase (basalt rock) is a pure volcanic material which is millions of years old. Rockwool is classified as an inorganic material and has an
excellent resistance to high temperatures and possesses superior acoustic properties.

As door core, Rockwool is used to fill in cavities of steel-stiffened doors. Steel Stiffened doors are used mainly for exterior doors, where rigidity
is important. They are available in varying degrees of strength and quality. While the thickness of the stiffeners can vary, the majority are made
of 20 gauge steel. Heavier gauges sometimes are used, particularly on security doors. Spacing between stiffeners may vary from 2” to 4”.
They are usually welded to each other at the top and bottom, and to the inside door skins on 4” to 5” centers.

The Rockwool Core Bristol uses for its fire doors has service temperature of 780oC when tested in accordance to DIN 52271 for 80mm
thickness and 100kg/m3 density. Additionally, the core is water repellent, non-hygroscopic, and non-capillary.

Other important properties are as follow:

- Water Absorption tested according to BS2972:

- Section 12 and ASTM C-209

- Thermal Conductivity in accordance with BS 874,

- equivalent ASTM C-177/C 518

- Sound Absorption in accordance with BS 3638 & ISO 354,

- equivalent ASTM C 423

- Non-combustible in accordance with BS 476: Part 4 1970 and

- ASTM E-136, Class A to ASTM E-84
