AMBICO sliding blast resistant steel doors combine blast and air pressure resistance with the appearance of standard sliding door products. AMBICO blast resistant products have been laboratory tested and are independently certified by professional engineers.

Door hardware has been specifically designed and tested to form an integral part of AMBICO blast resistant units. When the door is under pressure in the unseated position the entire assembly can be subject to severe structural loads.

We recognize that blast resistant sliding doors are a highly specialized product. AMBICO engineers look forward to working with AEC (Architectural/Engineering/Construction)  professionals to provide a detailed specification prior to tender in order to meet the demands associated with unique project applications.

AMBICO has extensive experience with installation of these products. On request, AMBICO provides a lead-hand from the factory to work closely with local installation forces to review the scope of work at the site, to assist with the layout of the materials and to troubleshoot at the close-out of the project.

Blast events are defined by two distinct phases-an initial phase where the full amount of the explosive pressure specified is loaded onto the assembly and a second phase which is also known as the “rebound” pressure where the initial blast pressure dissipates to the ambient pressure immediately prior to the blast event. The extent of the blast pressure during the rebound phase is expressed as percentage of the initial blast pressure. This figure ranges from zero percent to one hundred percent. When a 100% rebound load is specified the door assembly must withstand the full load of the blast in both directions. When the rebound load is 0% the door assembly must withstand the blast load in the initial phase only.
