RISER DOORS
BUILT TO DELIVER AND MEET BUILDING REGULATIONS
Riser doors are seen to be the most important door in the building for many industries . Commercial dwellings rely heavily on these doors as they help create a seamless hideaway to all key elements of a building , including maintenance and infrastructure parts that are kept safely tucked away and hidden .
With industry changing incidents such as the Grenfell Tower , now forming regulations within the construction industry , it has become imperative for specifiers to deliver products that fulfil the correct building regulations .
Kelly Steventon Business Development Executive at Access Panels Direct states “ Riser doors are a perfect way to provide access to mechanical or plumbing systems that are installed vertically in a building . These systems include HVAC ducts , electrical wiring , plumbing pipes , or fire suppression systems . We have supplied various , riser door-sets built to meet the required performance tests including bi-directionally fire-tested , acoustically rated , airtight , and relevant insulation feature ”.
When these systems need maintenance or repair , it ’ s important to have a way to access them quickly and easily , and riser doors provide a convenient and safe way to do so .
General audits of these building codes often means a regular inspection of these systems to ensure they are working properly and are up to code . A riser door provides a way for inspectors to access the systems without having to dismantle walls or ceilings .
Furthermore , fluent access to these areas is also important during emergencies , where in the event of a fire or other emergency , firefighters or other first responders may need to quickly access these systems to shut them off or control the situation .
Kate Neale Managing Director at Access Panels Direct comments “ We have seen an extensive shift in the demand for riser doors over the last 12-18 months . Here at Access Panels Direct the business has worked alongside several contracting clients and successfully supplied over 100 large projects ranging from Leisure & Hospitality , Commercial , Healthcare , Residential , Infrastructure and Care Home ”.
