Door fittings for all occasions - safety in dangerous situations
When planning and equipping public buildings, the safety of people is of course, a vital aspect. Particularly in hazardous situations, escape routes need to be found intuitively and escape doors need to be easily opened. HEWI offers a comprehensive range of fire protection fittings that enables everyone to find their way out of the building in dangerous situations.
Fire protection fittings in different variations
Fire protection fittings ensure that doors can be opened in an emergency. HEWI offers fire protection fittings in various systems that not only ensure that doors remain accessible, but also add accents to the room in a range of colours and finishes. The fire protection sets from the System 111 are available in high-gloss and matt polyamide as well as in matt brushed stainless steel. The 16 HEWI colours available include signal colours that make the handle more visible in panic situations and help people to leave the room quickly. HEWI fire protection sets are designed for use in commercial buildings.
The HEWI frame door fitting from the System 162 is available in matt white and grey tones as well as in black. This matt finish has a warm effect and creates a feel-good atmosphere from the door to the room. Interchangeable fittings are also available with fire protection.
Requirements for fire protection fittings
Fire protection fittings must withstand continuous function testing over 200,000 opening and closing operations. These requirements are regulated by DIN 18273 and the fitting must not deform or change in any way during the test. In the event of a fire, the fitting must be guaranteed to continue to function at over 1,000 degrees Celsius. HEWI door handles meet these class B1 or D1 fire resistance requirements and ensure that a door can still be opened and closed in the event of a fire.
