Windows and glazed doors are more commonly thought of as external fixtures to allow more light into a room, but in a commercial sense they have many more uses and can often be used internally for reasons such as to allow a person to safely see into a restricted room where special safety gear may be mandatory or glazing can be added to doors in the form of vision panels to comply with Part M regulations or a fully glazed door could be added for aesthetic purposes. The reasons are endless and so are your options with Fireblock.

Clean rooms are regularly used in manufacturing and scientific buildings to allow for a controlled environment that has a low level of pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles, and chemical vapours. Cleanrooms are used in practically every industry where small particles can adversely affect the manufacturing process. There are many factors to consider when designing a clean room and one of them factors are the doors and windows, which need to be designed and installed to be flush with the cleanroom to allow for minimum contamination. If the wrong doors and windows are introduced to the clean room area it could render the area unfit for its purpose and only high quality and performing units should be used in such sensitive areas.
