Yeoman Shield Fire Rated Door Protection Performs at Motorpoint Arena

Keen to provide a safe and comfortable environment for their customers, Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, chose Yeoman Shield fire rated door protection products to help maintain and protect the condition of important fire doors.

Owned by Live Nation the concert and event venue receive over half a million visitors yearly resulting in the doors, situated both back and front of house, experiencing damage and unsightly marking from pedestrians and the movement of trolleys and equipment etc. Not only can this have a detrimental effect on aesthetics but more importantly on the functioning of the fire door.

To help protect from such damage Yeoman Shield’s directly employed fixing operatives installed door edge protectors as well as protective push plates to doors in back of house areas such as workshop, cutting room, and boiler cellars etc.

Front of house doors, such as the entrances to the auditorium, which experience a huge amount of pedestrian traffic passing through, also had door edge protectors fitted along with half height door protection panels. Vulnerable glazing beads, were replaced with Yeoman Shield fire rated PVCu clad beads completing a comprehensive and durable door protection system that will withstand impact from hands, feet, bags and equipment well into the future.

Manufactured from Yeoman Shield’s HessianEx material, the fire rated door protection products were supplied in black for a striking contrast to the colour schemes already in place within the arena.

“I was impressed with the standard of work that was carried out by Yeoman Shield’s fixing operatives.

“The doors certainly look cleaner and smarter and with the issuing of fire certificate evidence for all the products installed I am confident we will use Yeoman Shield products again.” Commented Marcus Donoghue, Facilities & Health & Safety Manager for the venue.

All Yeoman Shield Fire Rated Door Protection products have been tested to and passed the current requirements for our type of products. For more information got to www.yeomanshield.com or call 0113 279 5854
