Architects designing healthcare facilities must prioritize fire safety by selecting the right ICU doors that are smoke and draft rated. Read more to find out how STANLEY Access Technologies can help.
When designing critical areas like Intensive Care Units in healthcare facilities, code compliance and fire safety are the first rule of the playbook to protect patients, staff, and property. Smoke and draft rated doors are key to compartmentalizing spaces, preventing the spread of smoke and fire, and helping maintain a safe environment during emergencies. Meeting these stringent standards controls airflow and blocks smoke infiltration thereby maintaining air quality and patient safety.
So when specifying ICU doors, Architects need to consider the following factors:
- Compliance with fire and smoke ratings
- Integration with automatic door operators and other security systems
- Durability for high-traffic healthcare environments
- Compatibility with infection control protocols.
