Why Timber Security Doors Are Worth The Investment
One of the most important features of any commercial building space is the doors – whilst only a small portion of an overall budget for a commercial development, the doors play a major part in not only the appearance but the functionality and safety of these commercial spaces. Here are some aspects of timber security doors to consider when choosing this important feature of your development:
Durability
Depending upon the business environment, commercial doors can be subjected to heavy traffic and often ‘abusive’ treatment – commercial doors get constantly used and not always treated in the same ‘respectful’ or careful manner as residential household doors! Commercial doors are often kicked open by people carrying items around the workplace, frequently get knocked and bumped with trolleys and carts, and generally undergo somewhat boisterous and less considerate treatment and usage than other doors. To be able to withstand this usage, doors for commercial buildings need to be manufactured to a high standard with more hardy and durable materials than residential doors. Solid core timber doors are extremely durable and offer both the hard-wearing functionality as well as a stylish appearance when installed in these environments.
Safety
All commercial buildings are subject to legal requirements with regards to both security and fire safety – doors for commercial buildings MUST adhere to strict conditions and testing to comply with these important safety aspects. Timber door manufacturers will construct security fire doors, both interior and exterior, and rigorously test them to achieve these strict safety standards and ensure compliance with the recommendations to ensure the safety of all occupants and visitors of the building.
Aesthetic Style
Many people may think that for these doors to provide the necessary durability and safety aspects, that they would have to appear ‘industrial’ and therefore potentially unattractive – but that is not so! Established timber door manufacturers can produce safety fire doors that are aesthetically pleasing and perfectly match the rest of the room and building décor and style. There are a range of different finishes available for commercial doors, along with specially strengthened glass panelling where required, and appropriate door furniture to offer a stylish and expensive appearance to grace any environment. You will not have to choose between appearance and performance – quality security fire doors offer both!
Confidence
The doors for commercial buildings are usually the first thing to make an impression on anybody using or visiting the premises – people will have to interact with the doors, so the quality of appearance is important as well as the functionality of the doors! Commercial doors constructed from quality materials will not only enhance the look of the building but will offer the reassurance and confidence of those using the building in the safety and security aspects whilst they are there. Security fire doors displaying the safety standard labelling and warranties inform those passing through them that they are in a safe environment – they offer both beauty and reliability!
