One intelligent idea in making the most of safety doors is to add a fire seal to the nearly inevitable gaps that surround the doors once they are installed. Although modern fire doors are extremely precise with the ways in which they are crafted, it is almost unavoidable when it comes to having cracks that limit the doors from fully doing their jobs. No one wants fire doors to break down and become useless in an emergency situation, so using fire seals can be the most practical way to solve this potential problem.

Fire seals are seals which are designed to be installed around the frame of fire doors. They are not noticeable to you most of the time because you don't have any reason to pay attention to the fire doors when there is no emergency. If a fire breaks out, though, these seals will come to the rescue. The way that they work is that they expand when there is heat. The product increases in size (although not in density) and therefore creates a fire-stopping seal in the gaps that might otherwise exist around the fire door. This seal lasts for approximately an hour. This gives you an hour during which the fire door is working properly and you can get everyone to safety.

The most important thing that fire seals do is that they help hold the door in place and to make it totally resistant to fire. However, they have the additional benefit of blocking smoke from coming through any gaps. This is important because smoke can cause a lot of problems to people who are caught in a fire. People who don't suffer any kind of burns can still require hospitalization due to smoke inhalation. The less smoke that you are exposed to during a fire the more likely it is that you are going to get out of that building safely. Since these seals are also designed to block smoke they further help people during fires in this way.
