Historic and heritage buildings pose a unique challenge to fire safety compliance. Passive fire protection systems can offer compliance for historic buildings without affecting their appearance, helping preserve their appeal as well as protect them.

RSUA organised this specialist course with Flamma Ltd. It focused on ensuring fire safety compliance in historic buildings, with a particular emphasis on upgrading heritage doors and frames.

Key topics include:

  • Common areas of failure in historic buildings
  • Ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations
  • Identifying poor vs. correct installation practices
  • Upgrading historic doors & frames while preserving heritage value

Attendees can also expect to gain a clearer understanding of the factors that ensure a building is properly fire protected and liability in relation to passive fire protection.
