Publisher's Synopsis
Every door has a particular function, and the specification of doors may involve clients, architects, engineers, contractors, specialist consultants and installers. This is a practical guide for specifiers to commission the right doors for different situations. It takes a risk-based approach and is also relevant to suppliers, assemblers and manufacturers by clarifying specifiers' needs. The main focus is on key performance characteristics such as fire resistance, security, weathertightness, energy conservation, accessibility, noise resistance and durability.
