Riser doors are designed for both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency, ensuring that you don’t have to compromise on either. Riser doors are important in building design and construction for serval reasons including access to critical infrastructure. Most riser doors are fire rated, providing a crucial barrier to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between floors. They offer security by restricting unauthorised access to certain areas of the development.
These shafts typically run from the ground floor to higher floors and contain a variety of utilities, such as: electrical cables, plumbing pipes and much more.
