Following our webinar on ‘Optimising Smoke Control’, attendees were invited to submit their ‘burning questions’ about what they see day-to-day working within the fire door industry. One answer that kept coming back from various people within the sector concerned the effectiveness of notional fire doors, also known as nominal fire doors.
In this podinar, Rutland’s Compliance and Technical Director Neil Smith explores the effectiveness of notional fire doors with fellow industry experts Danny White and Neil Ashdown. Are they effective or a danger to life safety?
Following the discussion, a live ‘Q&A chat’ took place, allowing participants to submit their questions to the panel.
