Fire Rated Doors

A fire-rated door is specially constructed to slow or prevent the spread of fire and smoke in a home or building. Both commercial and residential structures can use fire-rated doors.

How can fire rated doors help during a fire?

In the event of a fire, fire rated doors will resist the penetration of heat and flames to slow the fire for a specified time period. By containing the fire and smoke, they provide time for you to exit the building.  Fire rated doors act as a shield, they prevent the fire from spreading and they protect the emergency exits of a building for an extended time.

Fire-rated doors may also help to protect property and personal assets while fire-fighters work to extinguish the fire.  Fire rated doors are the perfect fit for exteriors of buildings as well as any interior fire-rated opening.
