Kaba Fire Protection Doors Chosen for College Sports Complex
Leading door manufacturer and supplier Kaba Door Systems has provided automatic sliding fire protection doors at Malvern College, Worcestershire. Working with the builders Speller Metcalfe, Kaba provided two sets of automatic sliding fire protection doors with a full breakout facility to the new sports and leisure complex at the college.
The automatic bi-parting fire protection doors – SLX-SBF – fitted to the main entrance – prevent the spread of fire and smoke as well as providing a safe escape route, effectively sectioning the area off. The doors, unique to Kaba, provide 30 minute fire protection, reduce smoke spread and on emergency activation, automatically convert into manual swing doors. In this mode, the doors can be pushed open providing an effective escape route. The invisible door closers ensure that the doors close and resume their fire barrier status after every use.
The new sports development at the college was opened on October 16th by HRH the Duke of York, who unveiled a plaque to commemorate the occasion. The college, which was founded in 1865, has an excellent reputation for sportsmen and sportswomen.
Headmaster Antony Clark said: “We are delighted to have opened this wonderful new facility which has been superbly designed and built to make it the best facility of its kind in the area.”
