Weather Seals for Police, Fire and EMS Stations
Police, Fire and EMS stations are a vital part of any community, and the buildings they operate out of deserve to be as safe and comfortable for their occupants as possible. That's why Action Direct manufactures our weather seals in America to give our public service workers the quality solutions they deserve along with a range of safety products to keep workers safe on the job.
Police, Fire and EMS stations are known for having multiple entry points for police cruisers, firetrucks and emergency vehicles to exit as quickly and efficiently as possible. Unfortunately, these entry points drastically reduce a building's energy efficiency, as outside air can easily seep through the natural gaps between a closed door’s perimeter. The constant stream of foreign air can lead to excess heat and frigid temperatures depending on the season, which leads to an increase in utility bills as heaters or air conditioners work overtime to control the temperature. Action Direct’s weather seals are designed to seal off these gaps and keep unregulated air outside. The seals also prevent rain, snow, outside debris and pests from entering and creating dangerous conditions for building occupants.
The multiple entry points in police, fire and EMS stations also create more opportunities for pests like insects and rodents to sneak inside. They can cause extensive damage by chewing on electrical wires and defecating on expensive equipment. Action Direct’s RodentBLOCK is a weather seal specifically designed to keep rodents outside with its layer of steel wool that teeth cannot chew through and a durable EPDM rubber fin that also blocks out the elements and prevents air infiltration.
Stations are a happening place, and it's important that those on the move are in a safe environment when vehicles and machinery are in use. Action Industries supplies photo eye sensors that can detect when an object is blocking the pathway of a door and prevent it from shutting and causing potential harm to an object or pedestrian in the way so you can keep bystanders safe on the job.
House fires and emergencies can happen at anytime during any season no matter the weather, and during periods of extensive rainfall or heavy snow, a fire truck or ambulance's visibility can be reduced as water and mud are kicked up by the tires. Flex Brush by Action Industries is a quality American-made brush seal that can be installed near the wheels of a vehicle to stop this undesirable spray from other vehicles on the road.
Not only does Flex Brush keep vehicles cleaner on the outside, but by blocking snow, rain, and debris from contacting their on-truck components, it helps prevent corrosion and potential damage that can put the emergency vehicles out of commission and potentially jeopardize citizens who need them.
