Blast protection is one of today’s biggest challenges. Watkins will have the solution to hand. A terrorist blast attack and a Petro-chemical blast may be considered as different but fundamentally blast doors and windows will perform the same task: protecting people, places and possessions against blast waves and fragments.
Based on design requirements, we can deliver doors with the appropriate Category response. Our blast doors are fire rated up to 3 hours listed and labeled to UL 10C. The doors are rated Fire or Blast by a third party.
