A fire door is a door that is designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke. Fire doors are designed to seal tightly against their frame to keep fire and smoke from spreading through a building. Fire doors are typically located in corridors and stairwells, and they can help to protect these areas, which are used as means of egress in case of a fire.
Fire doors are constructed using materials that are more fire-resistant than standard door materials, which means they can help to slow the spread of fire and provide additional time for occupants to evacuate the building.
Fire doors are typically made of wood, steel or aluminum and must be thick enough to contain and slow down the spread of fire. Fire-rated doors must be built with fire-resistant material, such as gypsum board or mineral wool insulation, which are sandwiched between the door’s inner and outer skins to help contain and slow down the expansion of fire and smoke. The door frame is also typically made of steel or aluminum to provide added strength and durability.
It is possible to retrofit a normal door to make it into a fire door, but it’s often more complicated and less cost-effective than installing a new fire door. A retrofitted fire door must meet the same safety standards as a new fire door, it should be tested and certified by an authorised third-party testing laboratory and it must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the door is not fire-rated, it should be replaced by a fire-rated door.
Fire doors are labeled with a certification that indicates that they have been tested and certified by a third-party testing laboratory. The label will typically include the name of the laboratory, the test standard that was used, and the fire rating of the door. Additionally, most fire doors have a label on it that indicates the fire resistance in minutes.
It’s also worth noting that not all fire doors look different from regular doors, so it’s important to look for the certification label or check with the building’s management or owner to determine which doors in the building are fire doors.
