• Challenge
The challenge
Hospitals cannot rely on vertical evacuation alone. Progressive horizontal movement of patients requires reliable corridor compartmentation and shaft protection on every clinical floor.
• Solution
Our approach
Fire doorsets specified for corridors, ward boundaries and lift lobbies - selected for integrity performance and hardware suited to continuous clinical traffic.
Healthcare fire strategy
NBCS 2026 emphasises protection of means of egress and compartmentation in healthcare occupancies where patients may be non-ambulatory.
Doorsets must close reliably, resist abuse from carts and stretchers, and maintain seal performance over years of intensive use.
Outcomes
- Support for progressive horizontal evacuation planning
- Shaft and lobby doors aligned with pressurisation strategies
- Finishes coordinated with healthcare hygiene and durability needs
