Smoke resistant windows and doors

The TPS range of smoke resistant door and window systems are all approved to EN 13501-2 Class C5S (similar to AS1530.7 which is not used in the NCC of Australia). These doors provide a tested and certified smoke resistant assembly, and provide a level of safety not offered by untested alternatives.

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is very vague in regards to smoke doors, which has lead to the proliferation of non-tested glass ‘smoke’ doors, most of which provide little or no resistance to smoke egress, and certainly no level of KNOWN smoke resistance.  Many of these doors may have poorly performing brush seals, and no bottom seal at all.  The specification and installation of a ‘smoke door’ in a building implies that the building requires some level of smoke resistance, and the TPS range of smoke doors provides a level of assurance which is not offered at all by untested systems.

Utilising the Forster Presto non-insulated steel framing system with a variety of glass types, configurations available include single leaf, pair (double) leaf, and fixed panes (top lites, side lites or fixed windows). All opening elements include integrated twin proprietary seals on both leaves and frames, concealed drop seals at the bottom of the door leaves, and are tested for both ambient and 200 degree smoke resistance.

Frame finishes include powercoated or painted mild steel, or brushed stainless steel.
