This seminar focuses on the considerations of the specification of architectural ironmongery on fire doors and the impact of intumescent protection as both seals and hardware
This CPD will detail information on fire doors, appropriate hardware and the impact of intumescent materials and the differing ways they will react as well as identifying the relevant standards and regulations.
By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- The importance of fire doors – knowing what they are, why they need them and risks in not treating them properly
- Correct fire door hardware – recognising the items of hardware which are essential to the performance of a fire door as well as core essentials
- Fire testing – awareness of the specifics of how fire doors are tested as well as relevant standards
- Intumescent types and how they react – there are three main types of intumescent and knowing each one and where they are used
- Standards and regulations – being aware of standards for fire and smoke performance, acoustics and other relevant regulations
About
The Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) aim to promote the highest standards of education, technical excellence and professionalism in our sector, and promote these standards to the wider construction industry and its clients. The Guild's work is built on three pillars:
Education: GAI offer a comprehensive programme of courses and qualifications, leading to diploma qualification and ultimately to RegAI, the benchmark for the demonstration of professional architectural ironmongery competence.
Technical standards: GAI help develop the standards that affect the products its members make, specify and use. They also provide support and advice to the sector on applying these standards.
Community activities: GAI brings people together through its extensive Community Hub network, and its programme of events and awards.
