Comments:
When considering any entry to be installed in an air structure application.
One should consider the surface force seen by a door is approximately five pounds per square foot of surface area when the structure pressure reaches 1″ wc.
In our opinion, this level of loading and the inherit life safety considerations make conventional doors an inappropriate choice.
Note:
Emergency exit doors should not be used for general egress – access.
