Powermatic controlled, concealed door closers are ideal for use on a wide variety of fire doors, ticking all the right boxes when it comes to meeting the plethora of legislation, regulations and product performance standards that govern fire safety.
With the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order (RRO) placing a legal obligation on the “responsible person” to carry out a risk assessment on new and existing non-domestic buildings (this includes the common areas of flats and houses in multiple occupation), and Approved Document B (fire safety) of the Building Regulations imposing further requirements, Powermatic concealed door closers offer an ideal solution where fire safety measures are deemed necessary.
From a product performance standpoint, the door closer meets the requirements of BS EN 1154 and, as such, carries the CE mark. It has also been tested by an independent laboratory and proved to meet the requirements for one hour and half-hour fire doors under BS EN 1634-1. Added assurance comes from Powermatic’s Certifire accreditation and the fact that it is approved for use by the British Woodworking Federation under its fire door and doorsets scheme.
In addition to its impressive fire performance credentials, Powermatic is totally concealed when the door is closed. This enhances the product’s suitability for fire doors by reducing the risk of vandalism, which could render the fire door useless.
All in all Powermatic offers a host of benefits in performance and application that make it ideal for a wide variety of fire door applications in a wide range of new-build and refurbishment projects in commercial, healthcare, hotel, social housing and leisure sectors of the market.
