The lobby signifies one of the most important rooms of any residential property and for good reason. In general, this room is the first to welcome tenants and guests upon their arrival or visit. With the idea of first impressions in mind, starting on a positive note is beneficial for the growth of a residential estate. Maintaining proper safety measures, adhering to the minimum building codes, and keeping the design pleasing to the eye—all these need to be in place.
By using full vision fire-rated doors, current and potential tenants alike feel a greater sense of security within the establishment. The particular model used for the lobby of the Hamilton Cove Apartments is a Builders Series 20-45 Minute Fire Protective Pair Door. The door assembly is paired with the SAFTI FIRST’s SuperLite® I-20 fire-rated glass, which has been tested to NFPA 252/257 or UL 9/UL 10C.
