The fire hydrant cabinet door has been sealed inside the wall by the fit-out, making it impossible to open and access firefighting equipment in the event of a fire.
In decoration works, the decorative treatment of fire-fighting equipment terminals—fire hydrant cabinets, fire extinguisher cabinets, and fire shutter controllers—is a difficult point in the coordination between fine decoration and fire protection. It is necessary to satisfy the operability of fire-fighting equipment while integrating into the overall decorative style. GB 50222-2017 "Code for Fire Prevention in Design of Interior Decoration of Buildings" has strict provisions on the combustion performance grades of decoration materials. GB 50016-2014 has requirements on the location and identification of fire-fighting equipment.
In the decorative treatment of fire hydrant cabinets, the cabinet body is embedded in the wall and the cabinet door is flush with the wall surface. Cabinet door forms include three types: stainless steel mirror doors in modern style, wood veneer doors unified with the wall surface, and concealed doors made on site by carpenters. Regardless of the decoration adopted, the cabinet door must have a conspicuous fire-fighting identification—the words "Fire Hydrant" plus a red mark. The cabinet door opening angle shall not be less than 160 degrees and shall not be obstructed by decorations. Drain holes shall be provided at the bottom of the cabinet body.
Fire extinguisher cabinets should be set near fire hydrant cabinets, at corridor corners, and at exits. Embedded or semi-embedded cabinet bodies flush with the wall surface shall be adopted. Cabinet doors shall adopt transparent glass doors to facilitate inspection of the fire extinguisher status. The bottom of the fire extinguisher shall be no more than 0.15 m above the floor. Fire shutter controllers shall be set near the fire shutter at 1.3 to 1.5 m above the floor. The panel embedded in the wall shall be flush with the wall surface, with peripheral gaps not exceeding 2 mm. An inspection opening of 300 × 300 mm shall be provided below.
Fire broadcast speakers and sound-light alarms are usually installed on the ceiling or wall and shall not be obscured by decorative surfaces. When embedded in the ceiling, the speaker holes shall not be covered by paint. The wall installation height shall be 2.2 to 2.4 m above the floor. The color shall be red, the standard color of fire-fighting equipment, and no other color coating shall be applied. During decoration, fire-fighting equipment shall be protected to ensure normal use in the end.
The fire rating requirements for decoration materials are: for corridors and evacuation stairwells, ceiling Grade A, wall Grade B1, floor Grade B1. For lobbies, ceiling Grade A, wall Grade B1, floor Grade B1. For offices, ceiling Grade B1, wall Grade B1, floor Grade B2. For guest rooms, ceiling Grade B1, wall Grade B2, floor Grade B2. Materials shall be provided with combustion performance test reports. For flame-retardant treated materials, construction records of the flame retardant shall be provided.
Engineering experience requires that fire cabinet door leaves adopt concealed hinges to ensure aesthetics. The decorative closing of the perimeter of fire cabinets shall be carried out after the cabinet doors are installed. Decorated fire-fighting equipment shall be accepted one by one to ensure flexible opening and clear identification. Fire evacuation indication signs shall not be obscured by decorative columns or decorative paintings. Fire-fighting equipment identification shall not be altered with spray paint. For embedded fire hydrant cabinets, dimensions shall be checked before decoration construction to confirm matching with the wall.
The coordination between fire-fighting equipment and decoration works is a key and difficult point in hotel fine decoration projects. The decorative treatment scheme for fire hydrant cabinets and fire extinguisher cabinets should be determined at the construction drawing stage, and the concealed door design should ensure the firm installation and flexible opening/closing of decorative panels. When the cabinet door opens, the decorative panel shall open in linkage; after closing, it shall be completely flush with the wall surface with gaps not exceeding 2 mm. The positions of fire broadcast speakers and sound-light alarms shall not be obscured by ceiling shapes or wall decorations, ensuring that the propagation of sound-light and visual signals is not affected. The identification of fire-fighting equipment shall be fabricated and installed in accordance with code requirements, with clear and standard identification, and shall not be weakened or obscured for decorative aesthetic needs. The fire rating of decoration materials in public areas must be strictly controlled; all decoration materials entering the site shall be provided with valid combustion performance test reports, and for flame-retardant treated materials, the flame retardant brand, model, and construction parameters shall be recorded. The acceptance of the coordination between fire-fighting equipment and decoration shall be included as a mandatory inspection item in fire acceptance; the operability and identification clarity of fire-fighting equipment shall be inspected piece by piece, and only after nonconforming items are rectified and qualified may fire acceptance be applied for.
The technical key points of the decorative treatment of fire-fighting equipment lie in ensuring the operability of fire-fighting equipment and the clarity of identification. For the embedded installation of fire hydrant cabinets, the cabinet position shall be reserved when the wall is built, and after the cabinet body is buried in the wall, the cabinet door shall be flush with the wall surface. The fixing of decorative panels shall adopt concealed hinges and magnetic catches to ensure firm connection between the decorative panel and the cabinet door and smooth opening/closing. The fire-fighting identification on fire cabinet doors shall adopt silk-screen printing or film application, and the content and color of the identification shall comply with the requirements of GB 13495-2015 "Fire Safety Signs." The opening test of fire cabinet doors shall be carried out after decoration is completed, using a protractor to measure the opening angle to ensure it is not less than 160 degrees. The transparent glass doors of fire extinguisher cabinets shall use tempered glass with a thickness of not less than 5 mm. The panel of the fire shutter controller shall be embedded in the wall and flush with the wall surface, and the position of the inspection opening shall be marked on the as-built drawings. The installation position of fire broadcast speakers shall avoid being obscured by ceiling shapes, and the sound pressure level test shall be carried out after decoration is completed to ensure compliance with design requirements. The decorative treatment of fire-fighting equipment needs to be considered comprehensively at the construction drawing stage, with close coordination between fine decoration design and fire protection design, integrating into the overall decorative style while satisfying fire codes. Through refined design and construction, the unity of operability and aesthetics of fire-fighting equipment is ensured.
