The Grenfell disaster in England could potentially have been contained with the correct fire proofing, but it claimed 72 lives.
This illustrates how quickly disasters can happen. The fire took 60 hours to extinguish.

COMPLIANCE

WHY SPECIFY ALLANDEL?
Allandel fire doors are tested in accordance with SANS 1253:2016 compliance

Compliance without Compromise
Allandel will assist you in finding ways that would enable compliance
without compromise should your needs surpass the limitations of
our tested prototypes. Through our own research and development,
we have identified areas that could potentially compromise any door
in service and in the event of a fire. All of our doors, throughout all
the classes, therefore meet and exceed the specifications as set out
in SANS 1253:2016 including:
•   Door thickness,

FINISHES
You can choose any veneer finish for your door
Veneered doors can be manufactured to order where the aesthetic is
important to the architect or developer. Masonite or commercial veneer is
recommended for painting.
We can also manufacture steel clad doors where hardy service is
expected or where the doors may be exposed to the weather.
Stainless steel kick plates are recommended for installations where the
doors can be damaged by vacuum cleaners or trollies etc.
All Class A, B and E doors are edged with hardwood edging while our
Class D door has a steel channel edging.
                                                                               Our sample finishes.

ACOUSTIC AND X-RAY DOORS
Tested and certified
Allandel supplies top quality acoustic doors which are thoroughly tested for
noise transmission. They come with a test certificate rating their insulation
performance and signed off by a professional sound engineer.
Our acoustic doors provide a RW value of 37 dB, which is a high reduction
of noise transmission. It is more than adequate for uses such as conference
rooms or hotel rooms. Our doors were commended for performance at low
frequencies and are appropriate for use in industrial environments.

Fire ratings
In addition, our acoustic doors have fire ratings of up to 2 hours (120 minutes).

X-ray windows and sliding doors
We supply custom made X-ray windows and sliding doors. Our doors are lead
lined from edge to edge which ensures that there is no X-ray exposure.
Our specialised glazing offers excellent protection against gamma and X-rays.
It is the transparent alternative to other shielding materials. The glazing is set            Our X-ray sliding door with a

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Internal testing produces a world class product
Allandel are committed to being the leaders in the supply and
manufacture of fire doors and fire proofing. To continue offering high
quality, reliable products and excellent service, we take pride in our research
and development.
To ensure that our products not only pass the stringent test criteria at the
testing authorities, but exceed the stipulated requirements, we rigorously test
products internally before sending for testing. This way, we get to know the
limitations of the materials and components that form an integral part of the
fire compliance of our products. Ultimately, we are looking after the personal
safety of those using our products.                                                                              Testing cable wrapping.

Our commitment
The integrity of our products is our top priority. It is our responsibility to ensure
that our products are true to their tested prototypes and that any variation
thereof is endorsed by the testing authorities.
You are therefore assured that when you specify an Allandel product,
you have specified quality and integrity.

                                                                                    Electrical cable integrity study.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

OFFICIAL SABS TESTING
Fire doors are further tested by the SABS
for compliance
Allandel only submits doors for official testing once
numerous tests have been carried out by ourselves.
This ensures that the tested prototype will meet the stringent
SABS requirements. When submitting door assemblies for testing,
we provide the full detailed description of the door core and
manufacture composition. This ensures that our test reports reflect
the actual core and make-up of our doors and frames.
Other manufacturers often refer to a “fire rated core” or “propriety
core” which in our view does not define the actual tested core
sufficiently. This obviously impacts on the integrity of what is
supplied.
Once the tests are completed at the SABS, we inspect the
doors and frames to gain a better insight into areas of strength
and weakness. These observations, together with the written
observations of the testing officials, form a vital part of our future
tests so that we can always strive for even better results. We are                Testing at a SABS furnace in Pretoria. The

HOW TO SPECIFY

HOW TO SPECIFY FIRE DOORS
It is important to specify your exact needs. Whilst the specifications below are our basic specifications, we
would recommend that you make the following information clear in your specification / schedules:

• Single or double leaf                                          • Hand of doors
• If double, equal leaf or unequal leaf                          • Single or double rebated frame
