Fire Rated doors are an essential part of building security since they are made to contain fires more slowly and give residents more time to flee. These doors are made of materials that, for a predetermined amount of time—typically measured in minutes—can endure the extreme heat of a fire. A fire-rated door’s core is usually composed of fire-resistant materials like vermiculite boards or mineral cores, and Fire-Rated Veneers or Metal Sheets are frequently used to cover the door. The assembly has intumescent seals, which expand in the presence of heat to produce a barrier that keeps out smoke and fire. A building’s fire safety plan is enhanced by the strategic placement of Fire Rated Doors, which divide spaces and slow the spread of fire.
Types of Fire Doors
30 Minute Fire Doors
Allure creates fire-contaminated doors by using the SAUERLAND core, which removes the need for any inorganic materials during construction and results in a lightweight, 100% recyclable door.
Because of the special way that SAUERLAND board is constructed, these doors are fireproof for thirty minutes. This opens doors with outstanding stability and rating.
Features
- The 38mm laminated veneer lumber on the door shields the wood.
- The 38 mm German Tubular Particle Board offers the perfect balance of stability and light weight.
- Medium-density fibreboard (MDF), which measures 3mm, is an engineered wood product that is similar to plywood in its use as a building material. It is significantly denser and stronger than particle board.
- Medium-density fiberboard, or MDF, is an engineered wood product that is 3 mm thick and is used as a building material similarly to plywood. Particle board is not as sturdy and as dense as this.
- Pine Wood Frame is a soft, reasonably priced material that is simple to deal with. Additionally, it has a 47mm wooden frame that adds another layer of protection for the door.
60 Minute Fire Doors
Allure makes its doors fire-contaminated by using the SAUERLAND core, which does away with the need for any inorganic materials during construction and leaves the door lightweight and 100% recyclable. Because of the special way that SAUERLAND board is constructed, these doors are fireproof for sixty minutes. This opens doors with outstanding stability and rating.
Features
- 42mm laminated veneer lumber, which is protected from the elements, is used in the door.
- The 42 mm German Tubular Particle Board offers the perfect balance of stability and light weight.
- Medium-density fiber board (MDF), which has a thickness of 6 mm, is an engineered wood product that is used in construction with a similar purpose as plywood. It is significantly denser and stronger than particle board.
- Pine Wood Frame is a soft, reasonably priced material that is simple to deal with. Additionally, it has a 67mm hardwood frame that adds another layer of protection for the door.
120 Minute Fire Doors
Fire-rated doors are made to stop smoke and fire from spreading for a predetermined amount of time, usually measured in minutes. A door that has undergone testing and certification to endure the impact of fire for a full 120 minutes is known as a 120-minute fire-rated door.
Features
- The door has an acoustic door that ranges in decibels from 28 to 42.
- German Acoustical Core, the board’s main component, offers a high degree of insulation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A fire-rated door is a specially designed door that can withstand exposure to fire for a specified period. It is part of a building’s passive fire protection system.
Fire-rated doors are constructed with materials that resist the spread of fire, have a specific fire resistance rating, and often include features like intumescent seals and self-closing mechanisms. Regular doors lack these specialized features.
A fire resistance rating indicates the duration for which a door can withstand exposure to fire and maintain its integrity. Common ratings include 20, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.
Fire-rated doors are typically required in locations where building codes mandate fire protection, such as stairwells, exit corridors, and areas separating different occupancies.
Yes, fire-rated doors can be equipped with fire-rated vision panels or windows. However, these components must also meet fire resistance specifications.
No, fire-rated doors vary in terms of their fire resistance rating, construction materials, and specific features. The choice depends on the intended use and local building code requirements.
Fire-rated doors undergo rigorous testing in accordance with international standards, such as those set by organizations like Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or the British Standards Institution (BSI). Certification indicates compliance with specific fire resistance criteria.
