Summertime = holiday time. Holidays are possible again and hotels are open again. Atmosphere and design are important factors for feeling comfortable here, but security is also very important. Hotel doors, for example, must not just be attractive, they also have to fulfil many requirements today.
This turns the hotel door into a functional door
Section 7 of the Accommodation Establishments Ordinance (please note the regulations in your own federal state) sets out the characteristics that functional doors in hotels must meet. These include stricter guidelines on fire and smoke protection, as well as sound insulation. Furthermore, care should be taken during the planning stage to ensure that the doors are burglar-proof.
Doors and door frames are elements that, on the one hand, complement and enhance the interior design and complete the style of the building. On the other hand, in addition to these optical properties, they also have technical and functional properties. And they must fulfil different functions.
Multifunctional all-rounder
However, the requirements in hotels go even further: corridors and various complexes in the buildings are separated by connecting doors. Sound, smoke and fire protection are particularly important here. Glass doors - made of safe laminated glass, of course - also play a role here. They let daylight into dark corridors and make the hallway more inviting.
Wet and damp room doors are in demand in bathrooms and spa areas. In addition to providing the necessary privacy, they offer protection against increased exposure to moisture and humidity and also retain their closing properties. The PRÜM test criteria for quality assurance here include swelling and deformation of the door leaf, corrosion on the fittings and surface damage.
In conference areas, meeting rooms and offices, the hotel doors once again provide a stylish and prestigious ambience and score points not only for their design and fulfilment of fire protection requirements, but above all for their sound insulation properties.
The PRÜM product range includes a variety offunctional doors and frames in a variety of designs, styles and with a wide range of properties - in all standard formats and sizes and, on request, as customised products.
Best practice in live application
Deck 8 relies on burglar-proof, smoke-proof and fire doors from PRÜM. The design hotel in Soest offers a stylish ambience and a high level of comfort. Here, design and function blend seamlessly into the hotel’s style. The door-sets in dark oak HPL and white lacquer CPL, featuring burglary, smoke and fire protection functions, are used here both for the room entrance doors and as a vestibule element.
The Itterbach Residence combines exclusivity and modern design with historic charm and timeless elegance. The choice here fell on PROFILIA style doors with a white lacquer finish and bespoke slanted elements, as well as glass sliding doors fitted with SLIM sliding door fittings featuring fire, smoke protection and climate protection functions.
