A fire-rated door is a specially engineered door set that has been independently tested and certified to hold back fire for a specified time.
When exposed to intense heat, the door and its intumescent seals expand, closing any gaps around the frame. This slows the spread of the fire, giving people time to evacuate and protecting your assets until the fire service arrives.
Most commercial, industrial and public buildings are legally required to have fire-rated doors. The same is true of apartment blocks.
These doors form part of your passive fire protection system. The number and types of fire doors you need will be described in your fire risk assessment.
Fire doors are available with FD30, FD60, FD90, FD120 and FD240 ratings. This means they can withstand fire for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, two hours or four hours.
You can get timber fire doors with an FD rating of FD30 to FD120. You can get steel fire doors with an FD rating of FD30 to FD240.
A certified steel fire door carries a certification label — usually fixed to the top edge of the door leaf. This label provides details of the testing scheme used and the door’s FD rating. Always ask your supplier for proof of certification to ensure your doors are fully compliant.
