Residents of a multi-storey tower block in Cambuslang will be better protected from fire following the installation of high-performance fire doors.
Undertaken on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council (SLC), residents of Kyle Court, located on Main Street, have each received new 60-minute fire resistant flat entrance doors and 60-minute fire resistant common doors that have been designed and tested to meet the highest standard of industry performance for fire safety.
This means in the event of an emergency, the doors will provide a minimum resistance of an hour’s duration to offer vital assistance in combatting the passive spread of fire and smoke as well as providing valuable protection for residents.
The doors were manufactured by CCG from their advanced facility located within one mile of the residence in the Clydesmill Industrial Estate.
Here, expert tradespeople and semi-automated, CNC machinery combine to fabricate the doors using solid timber to create an entirely finished product prior to being installed by the firm’s own Asset Management (AM Division).
Joanne Forbes, head of property services at SLC, told us : "We are working closely with CCG to deliver compliant fire doors in our Multi Storey flatted accommodation.
"Having successfully completed Kyle Court in Cambuslang, we are now moving onto blocks in East Kilbride."
The housebuilder said it is working at another site in Motherwell before moving on to White Cart Tower and Calder Tower in East Kilbride in the new year.
Craig Smith from CCG added: "Fire safety in tower blocks is of the utmost importance and as a result of the materials used and integrated safety measures, this product offers a leading standard of performance that can provide residents of multi-storey tower blocks with a level of assurance in the event of an emergency situation.
"As a locally-based company, we are proud to have lent our support to South Lanarkshire Council and the residents of Kyle Court."
