A modular safety shelter provides protection from fragment, overpressure, radiation, and toxic hazards through a combination of physical design of modular segments, of joint seals between modular segments, of door assemblies, and of HVAC control systems. The modular shelter is formed of two or more prefabricated concrete modular segments each including a built-in foundation, roof, and side walls, and a prefabricated concrete vestibule segment providing an airlock-like access to the shelter. The prefabricated modular segments and vestibule segment are transported to a site and assembled to each other on-site to provide a fully enclosed space within the modular shelter. A multi-layer joint seal is formed between adjacent modular segments to prevent ingress of toxic, flammable, or thermal hazards. An integrated HVAC controller monitors toxic or flammable hazards outside and inside of the shelter, and controls HVAC systems to minimize spread of contaminants upon detecting a hazard.

A method of installing a window and composite window bracket comprises a first member and a second member, and an at least one accessory member to couple the composite window bracket to at least one accessory bracket. The first member includes a first surface extending from a first end of the first member to a second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end first member to the second end first member, the first surface of the first member to be coupled to a support beam. The second member supports a window disposed on the first surface of the second member.

An automatic door bottom to seal a gap between a door bottom and a door sill and includes a drop bar assembly with a seal element is held in a channel mounted on a door. The automatic door bottom also includes a spring-loaded, slidable pushrod assembly which, upon closure of the door, forces the seal element out of the channel and into contact with the door sill. Upon door opening, the slidable pushrod assembly is released and retracts the seal element back into the channel. Further included within the channel is an intumescent material also communicating with the drop bar assembly, where, when exposed to heat or high temperature, forcefully expands within the channel to force the seal element out of the channel and into sealable contact with the door sill, thereby preventing fire expansion through a gap around the door.

A fire protection element containing a layered body can be utilized for sealing passage openings in components, such as building components, through which conduits are guided. A method can be used for producing the fire protection element. The fire protection element can be used for sealing passage openings and/or joints in components against fire and flue gases.

A fire door clearance system is disclosed that includes a non-flammable material that is fastened at a first portion thereof on an inner side thereof to any of a door and door frame, and an intumescent material applied to the inner side of the non-flammable material at a second portion thereof.

A closure may include a door configured to seal an opening. The door may include a section with an internal cavity. The closure may also include a core within a first portion of the internal cavity of the section. The core may be configured to expand from a relaxed state to an expanded state and provide a seal between the door and an edge of the opening when the core is in the expanded state.

Fireproofing device (1), in particular a fireproofing strip (1), with an elongate support (2), which is produced from a foam material, a non-woven fabric and/or a fibrous body and is provided with an impregnating agent. According to the invention this impregnating agent contains as components at least one liquid medium and a binder for binding solid components of the impregnating agent to the foam material and expandable graphite.

A fire resistant door leaf (30, 32) comprises a core (42) and a lipping (50, 52) extending along at least one edge (40) of the core (42). The lipping (50, 52) is of plastic material (60) and is bonded to the edge (40) of the core, and comprises at least one strip of intumescent material (62) extending parallel to the edge (40) of the core. The at least one strip of intumescent material (62) is covered by the plastic material (60) of the lipping, and the plastic material (60) is cast or moulded against the at least one strip of intumescent material (62). The fire resistant door leaf (30, 32) may be formed by locating the at least one strip of intumescent material (62) along the edge (40) of the core and subsequently forming the lipping (50, 52) by casting or moulding the plastic material (60) of the lipping to the core in a liquid or semi-liquid state to cover the at least one strip of intumescent material (62) and curing the plastic material in situ (60).

The present disclosure relates to an air tight door, and the air tight door according to the present disclosure is characterized to include a frame including a first longitudinal member disposed at each of both lateral sides and an upper side of an opening, and a second longitudinal member disposed at a lower side of the opening; a door that is rotatably connected to the first longitudinal member disposed at one side of the opening so as to open and/or close the opening; a first sealing that is disposed at each of the first longitudinal member of the frame, and that closely contacts the door in a state where the door has closed the opening; and a second sealing that is elevatably disposed at a lower end of the door, and that descends from the lower end of the door to closely contact an upper surface of the second longitudinal member in the state where the door has closed the opening; a locking device that fixes a position of the door in the state where the door has closed the opening; and an actuating device disposed at each of both surfaces of the door so as to unlock the locking device.
