Manufactured,
supplied and installed by Firemex, these 4 hour Pyropanel sliding
fire doors prevented the spread of fire between two factories
that were used to store carpet, lino and flammable adhesives.
The attached
photographs graphically illustrate the devastation caused by a
fire in a storage factory, and the reliability of Pyropanel products.
The open area (pic 1& 2) is where a factory used to be located
before the fire occured. This factory was totally destroyed by
fire and the rubble has since been removed. The enclosed area
(pic 3) is located directly adjacent to where the fire occured,
and has only received minimal damage from water leakage around
and under the sliding door.
It is also
worth noting that these doors have been photographed many weeks
after the fire, and have been exposed to rain and weather during
this time, yet they still remain completely intact on the non
fire side.
Evidence of
this nature, which thankfully does not occur too often, provides
further reassurance of the quality of Pyropanel products, and
the need to install and maintain appropriate fire doors and other
passive fire protection products.
