Safety & Protection

A master of fire protection. The incomparable strength of steel lies in its high melting temperature. With values between 1250°C and 1400°C, steel sets its own standards and clearly outperforms other materials such as wood, PVC, and aluminum. 

The material properties of steel stand for outstanding safety and reliability in the event of fire. In combination with glass elements or panels, steel offers the optimum solution for fire protection.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• High melting temperature: 1250°C – 1400°C.
• Optimum fire protection: Combination of steel with glass and/or panels.

Proven safe. Steel doors, windows, and façades offer high-quality burglary protection. The key to success lies in the robustness of steel. The material offers outstanding protection against impact and deformation loads, which are elementary components of the test series for a resistance class.

Jansen products are tested and certified to at least resistance class RC2, and Jansen steel façades are even certified to resistance class RC4. A seal of quality, security, and trust.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• The high strength of steel offers protection against impact and deformation loads.
• Steel doors, windows, and façades are subject to comprehensive burglary protection tests.
• Certified quality: Jansen products are tested and certified to at least resistance class RC2.

Clean and resistant. The smooth surfaces of stainless steel prevent germs from adhering, making cleaning child's play. Even after stainless steel elements have been processed, a homogeneous, seamless surface remains, which provides hardly any breeding ground for germs. Stainless steel is therefore ideal for hygiene-critical environments and therefore the first choice in hospitals, retirement homes, and other areas where sterility is crucial.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• Germ-resistant surface: The smoothness of the stainless steel reduces the build-up of germs and makes cleaning easier.
• The homogeneous surface of stainless steel offers a high level of protection against germs.
• Ideal for hygiene-critical environments: Stainless steel doors suitable for hospitals, retirement homes, and germ-free areas.
   

Security down to the smallest detail. Steel is characterized by its slightly rounded edges, in contrast to aluminum, which is produced with sharp edges. A subtle but decisive difference that makes steel a safe choice. Especially when regulations regarding the risk of injury must be observed, such as when building a nursery school.

Steel is proof that robustness does not have to come at the expense of safety. An important detail that plays a major role in the design of safe and user-friendly buildings.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• Slightly rounded edges are important to reduce the risk of injury.
• Ideal for use in nurseries and schools.
   

Remarkably resistant. Stainless steel in the quality of 1.4401 used by Jansen shows its strength in a world full of challenges. Where other materials fail, this stainless steel shows remarkable resistance in a salty environment and to acids. The passive layer of the stainless steel defies chemical reactions and is therefore ideal for use in industry or near the coast.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• Acid-resistant stainless-steel constructions in quality 1.4401 suitable for various applications in industry and near the coast.
• Resistant to salty environments and acids: stainless steel in grade 1.4401 is stable and durable.

Peace, silence, serenity. Thanks to its higher density, steel offers excellent protection against sound penetration. Its unique material properties filter and absorb noise better than other materials, providing a quieter and more comfortable environment.  

Street noise stays outside and cozy silence is preserved inside. In a world full of noise, steel, especially in combination with glass, creates a space for peace and serenity.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• Superior sound insulation: Steel has a higher density than other materials and offers excellent resistance to sound penetration.

Durable, strong, and adaptable. With steel, cities can grow upwards, although the demands on building materials increase with every meter. Steel can withstand extreme wind and suction loads and offers effective protection against deformation.

In addition, the stability and elasticity of steel ensure long-term durability and an increased service life for doors, windows, and facades.

The most important facts in a nutshell:

• The low deflection of steel protects against deformation caused by wind and suction loads in tall buildings.
• The high elasticity of steel enables rapid recovery from deformations and contributes to the long-term durability of buildings.
