Fire Rated Doors

Fire rated doors are specially designed doors that resist fire and prevent the spread of flames and smoke. They are constructed with fire-resistant materials and tested for specific fire endurance ratings. These doors are essential for safety in buildings, providing protection and allowing safe evacuation during emergencies.

FIRE RATED DOORS

Fire-rated doors are specialized door assemblies designed to resist fire and smoke for a specific time (e.g., 20-120 mines), acting as crucial parts of passive fire protection by compartmentalizing buildings, slowing flame spread, and providing safe evacuation routes using heat-resistant cores (like mineral wool, gypsum) and intumescent seals that expand to block gaps when heated.

Benefits & Applications

  • Property Protection: Limits structural damage and protects valuable assets, minimizing financial losses.
  • Legal Compliance: Required by building codes (like NBC, NFPA) for specific locations, avoiding penalties.
  • Sound Insulation: Thick, resistant materials also reduce noise transmission, offering quieter spaces.
  • Enhanced Security: Can be integrated with attack-resistant glazing for added protection against forced entry.
