FIRE DOOR

Fire doors are specialized doors designed to maintain the fire resistance of a wall and prevent the spread of fire, smoke, and heat between different compartments of a building. They are a critical component of passive fire protection, providing essential time for occupants to evacuate and for emergency services to respond.

Key Components of a Fire Door System

Fire-Rated Leaf:

The door itself, typically constructed with a solid timber core, steel, or specialized mineral boards.

Intumescent Seals:

Strips fitted into the door frame or edge that expand in high heat to create a gas-tight seal.

Fire-Rated Glazing:

If the door has a window, it must use fire-resistant glass that can withstand thermal shock.

Door Closers:

Essential hardware that ensures the door returns to its closed and latched position automatically.
