New range of Janisol fire doors and screens from Schueco Jansen

SCHUECO JANSEN STEEL FIRE DOORS AND SCREENS

• high fire-resistance performance
• narrow sight-lines
• large glazed areas
• stylish hardware
• wide variety of design options

Manufactured from hot-dip galvanised cold rolled steel sections with special isolators and an advanced fire-retardant core, these glazed doors and screens achieve an EI90 rating. This means:

• they will maintain their stability and integrity and provide a physical barrier against flame, smoke, heat and hot gases for up to 90 minutes
• by maintaining an average temperature of 140^oC on the non-fire side, they can help to save lives by protecting vital escape routes     

The tests (in accordance with EN 1364-1 and EN 1634-1) and assessment procedures (drawing on 2012 reports from BRE Global) take into account fixing into masonry and concrete walls, as well as steel-framed partition systems. This means:

• specifiers and investors can be assured that Janisol C4 systems will provide proven protection for people and property
• mitred and welded corners and a frame depth of only 70 mm and, because of their steel construction, are able to offer narrow sight-lines – typically just 132.5 mm for the frame and opening leaf – so allowing maximum transmission of light
• customers can choose for the frames to be finished in any of the RAL range of colours.           

The approved scope of door and fixed-light combinations includes single and double rebated doors with/without midrails, side- and top-lights and radiused-head top-lights.

Exceptionally large doors are also possible:

• maximum leaf sizes for single doors are up to 1,426 mm wide and 3,044 mm high (max. area 5.21 m²)
• double doors can be specified up to 1,529 mm wide and 2,889 mm high (max. area 4.01 m²)       

Fittings for standard Janisol C4 doors include

• wide range of locks, barrel or surface-mounted hinges with/without adjustment features and stylish stainless steel handles

Panic bars and touch-bar fittings complying to EN 1125 are also available

In addition to door sets and fixed lights, the Janisol C4 system may also be used for glazed screens up to a maximum height of 3,963 mm where there is a requirement for 90 minutes’ integrity and insulation.

Infills for the doors and screens include a range of both single- and double-glazed fire-protection units as well as non-glass panels, the latter being typically a sandwich of 1 mm steel sheet and 36 mm of plasterboard.
