Specifying door products that are durable enough to withstand the rigorous demands of high-traffic applications in the healthcare and hospitality industries is crucial to the long-term success of each installation. This course reviews traditional doorway materials and doorway protection options, and provides design solutions that utilize engineered polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) components that extend the life of the door assembly and minimize health and safety issues for the building occupants. NEWH Category: Product Knowledge & Mfg Health Care, Govt. Insitutional, Facilities Management, Office/Corporate, Hospitality/Entertainment, Retail/Store Planning - define the components of door construction and the types and feature of various core materials - identify the industry guidelines and performance standards related to door specification that must be met to satisfy the stringent demands of high-traffic applications - state the causes and consequences of door damage - contrast the performance of doors made with traditional material (wood, laminate, metal) versus engineered PETG, designed to withstand heavy facility traffic, and - discuss doorway design solutions and specification considerations that promote durability and longevity of door assemblies in healthcare and hotel environments
