TRANSCRIPT
Passive fire protection contains fires or slows the spread, through use of fire-resistant walls, floors and doors to facilitate the safe means of escape for the occupants and the safety of the fire fighters. Passive fire protection is a vital component of structural integrity and the fire safety of a building. In addition to this, passive fire protection materials correctly specified, installed and maintained will assist in:
> Safeguarding the building structure > Minimising rebuild costs
> Protecting assets and business operations > Timely business recovery and continuity
> The continuance of building serviceability > Limiting smoke damage
The minimum requirements of Passive Fire Protection are set out in the BS 9999 (Code of practice for fire safety in the design, construction and use of buildings).

Fire door auditing and maintenance is one of the key obligations for the responsible person in your organisation under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our technicians are trained to the standards set out under the Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS) and are there to support and advise you regarding all aspects of fire door safety as set out under BS 8214.

Auditing – What’s Involved?> Each door leaf is subjected to a 52 point check, and asset
labelled in accordance with the BWF Certifire scheme> A complete report on each door, including ironmongery,
glazing and the overall integrity of the doorset plus any remedial work necessary to meet current regulations
> All doors are passed through the triage system so you are well advised on your most high risk areas enabling you to prioritise any remedial work which in turn assists with your budgeting and forecasting.
> A live asset register of all the doors on site which is updated after each survey and remedial session.
> Third Party Certification from an accredited FDIS company, to satisfy a Fire Officer’s site visit
Where is this Applicable> Hotels> HMO’s – Homes in Multiple Occupancy> Student Housing> Residential Care Homes> Hospitals> Public Buildings
Maintenance – Why Ventro?> Our FDIS accredited installers have the
ability to advise on cost-saving alterations, rather than an arbitrary Pass/Fail system which would tell you to replace the full doorset
> Through a preventative maintenance programme we can help you prevent failure before it occurs.
> Fire Officers always endorse a proactive approach towards fire door maintenance. Using an accredited third party is evidence that a responsible, serious view is taken with regard to the fire doors within the organisation
> Peace of mind, knowing that you are being helped to meet your obligations by the experts
Fire Door Auditing and Maintenance
No two doors are the same! As companies continue to build strong brands through their interior design, it is essential they can carry that image through every facet of the building design, and doors are a big part of this. It is one of the few parts of the interior décor that clients will have to get up close to and actually touch. Doors are functional in that they are a working part of the building design, but more than that, they define the feel of the interior. At Ventro we recognise this, which is why our internal design and manufacturing teams are able to produce bespoke designs and solutions that you can be proud of.

Compartmentation is a critical aspect of your fire plan, but it is becoming increasingly complicated. Good compartmentation, designed and installed by professional passive fire protection specialists, will keep the evacuation routes safe and limit the impact of a fire on your premises. By partnering with Ventro for surveys and installation you can be sure we will work with you to help you comply with BS 9999 (Code of practice for fire safety in the design, construction and use of buildings) ensuring critical life safety and business continuity.

Fire Shutters & CurtainsVentro presents a range of fire shutters and curtains as a traditional method of fire compartmentation through maintaining the integrity of internal fire compartment walls because they provide a compliant alternative to non-loadbearing fire walls and doors. Fire shutters ensure your building remains compliant, yet practical; when raised you are rewarded with clear openings so you can make best use of your building, but you can be sure you are protecting your building and personnel in the event of fire.
Ventro’s wide range of fire curtains can be used in a variety of applications ranging from protection of stairwells and lift shafts to partitioning open plan offices, conference rooms and reception areas.
Tested in accordance with BS476: Part 22: 1987, for up to 4 hours fire resistance. Assessed for openings up to 8000mm x 12000mm (50m2). Individual assessments available for larger openings.
Fast Track ShuttersFast Action roller shutter doors are required for high traffic operation areas and are intended to keep the building environment and temperature as constant as possible. Fast action doors and can be installed internally or externally, with the vast majority used in warehouse applications to save energy and increase productivity.
Ranging from warehouse partitioning, to our thermally insulated shutters for use in cold stores, the applications are endless. The fast action of these doors dramatically reduces heat loss, contamination by noise, airborne pollution and time lost waiting for conventional door types to open.
Features Include:
> Strong, durable material covered under product warranties
> Option for vision panels
> Soft Edge technology for reduced downtime
> Available in a range of RAL colours
> Can withstand a variety of weather conditions. An optional wind bar system can be fitted on more exposed openings.

Escape Route SurveyOur trained technicians can apply their technical expertise specifically to your site. This takes into account the layout of the building, evacuation flow and the number of escape routes and emergency exits, as the main control is now travel time rather than travel distance. An integral part of the survey is the emergency lighting and signage, all of which is reported on.
Evacuation PlansPublic buildings are required to display a primary and secondary evacuation plan for all sleeping and common areas. Research shows that in unfamiliar surroundings an
overwhelming majority or people will attempt to leave by the entrance they came in at, highlighting the necessity of accurate evacuation plans.
Emergency Lighting & Signage Installation
Two critical ingredients of a safe escape route is of course the emergency lighting and signage. Ventro are able to offer a full design and installation service to your property in conjunction with your evacuation plan.

Escape Routes
Are Your Escape Routes Good Enough?Your escape routes save lives. However, many buildings either have insufficient means of escape or the escape routes they do have are inadequate or non-compliant. Our in-house fire engineers work with clients to ensure that the most critical aspect of their fire plan is up to the regulations set out in BS 9999 and, most importantly, safe.

Improve CashflowYour complete purchase can be delivered and operational without the need for capital expenditure. Have what you need today with no cash outlay.
Retain Credit LinesKeep existing banking arrangements, credit lines and cash free for uses that are more appropriate. Our finance facilities cannot be withdrawn like overdraft facilities. Use bank funding for working capital to maintain a healthy business.
Simplify BudgetingPayments are fixed throughout the term of the agreement enabling accurate and simple budgeting and forecasting. Bank facilities are generally related to interest rates, which is fine when they are low but can cripple cashflow when they increase.
Let the Equipment Pay for ItselfEnable the finance payments to coincide with the benefits of having the new equipment as they start to appear. You wouldn’t pay all your staff costs up front! Pay for the equipment as you gain the benefits, not before.
Keep Up to DateCombat obsolescence problems or requirement changes as the equipment can be supplemented or upgraded at any time in the future. Have what you really need to do the best job for you, not just what your budget limits you to.
Simple Approval in Two WaysFirst of all leasing may be classed as a revenue item for budget purposes which may make it easier for you to obtain authorisation for the expenditure. Secondly, our approval process only takes one phone call and an approval is usually provided the same day.
