Podszuck | Kiel-based Podszuck specialises in the manufacture of an extensive range of fire doors for the maritime sector. The doors can be used in interior and exterior areas of all types of vessels including yachts, cruise ships and merchant ships, as well as offshore platforms and other floating units.

The thickness of the door is only 44mm with a weight of 33 kg/m2/door leaf, making it suitable for vessels including yachts, ferries, and ocean and river cruise vessels.
