Why are we asking you to remove your Christmas wreath from your front door?

We all love to decorate our spaces and make them feel cosy and festive, but when it comes to fire doors, it's essential to keep safety in mind. Fire doors are specially designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in case of an emergency. They play a crucial role in keeping us safe.

So, why can't we put Christmas wreaths on front doors?

Your front door is also your fire door. Wreaths can potentially obstruct the door and interfere with its proper functioning. In an emergency situation, every second counts, and it's crucial that fire doors remain clear and unobstructed.

Wreaths can add that festive touch without compromising safety, but they will just need to be kept inside your home. We know it might make us sound like the Grinch, but your safety will always be our top priority. By keeping fire doors clear and unobstructed, we can make sure that they can do their job effectively and keep us protected.
