The main aim of passive fire protection is to give people enough time to get out and to give the emergency services time to act in case of fire. To ensure this, KAEFER deploys an array of unbeatable solutions which meet the highest quality and safety standards for fire protection.

KAEFER’s powered A0–A60 sliding fire doors are a coordinated system consisting of a sliding door and an electric motor, which has been continually refined since 1980. The advantages speak for themselves: compact construction, ease of installation, lightweight thanks to LOLAMAT® and slimline design. Sliding fire doors are manufactured as single or double-leaf doors in all normal dimensions.

We also make rolling gates up to a maximum of 15 m x 8.75 m. As doorways and open deck areas on ships keep getting larger, this is a significant competitive advantage. Single-surface A0 rolling gates are used in grill bars and kitchen areas for example, whilst A60 rolling gates are suitable for use in primary fire areas.

All KAEFER solutions have passed extensive fire testing and comply with the IMO FTP Code and SOLAS specifications. To match these high-quality products, we also offer first-class after-sales services worldwide, with repairs, maintenance and supply of spare parts.

Sliding fire doors from KAEFER are in use on more than 100 cruise ships and 200 mega yachts – and there is no end in sight, as the market continues to grow. The main clients in the cruiser segment are Meyer Werft and Fincantieri. Our mega yacht clients include Hanseatic Marine, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, CRN, Oceanco, Lürssen and Viareggio Superyachts.
