What Is a Fire Door?

An essential factor of a building’s fire protection system, fire doors are engineered to withstand exposure to flames, smoke, and heat. Constructed with hard-wearing materials such as steel and aluminium, they usually feature windows made of fire-resistant glazing. The self-closing devices on fire doors help ensure they close fully into their frames to hold back fire and smoke. Fire doors are built flush with the door frame. Sealants such as intumescent strips, which expand when in contact with heat, are used to fill any gaps.

Fire Door Applications

Whether it’s an emergency exit or entrance, fire doors are generally required anywhere they can help stop or delay the spread of smoke and flames in a building. They’re frequently positioned between corridors and stairways to provide safety for occupants leaving the structure and firefighters entering it during a fire. Fire doors are also utilized to protect service risers that allow vertical passage of pipes and cables. Storage rooms that house flammable liquids often have fire doors as well.
