Fire door sticker
In order to reduce the number of fatal accidents caused by fires, we have created fire door stickers and promote proper maintenance of buildings.
What is a fire door?
Fire doors are located near stairs and elevators in buildings such as condominiums, schools, commercial facilities, etc. By closing in the event of a fire, it is an important facility that is installed by law that protects life.
There are two types of fire doors: a type that is usually embedded in a wall and automatically closes when it detects smoke in the event of a fire, and a type that is installed next to a shutter.
