What Does a Fire Door Do?
A fire door acts as a barrier, restricting the movement of fire within a building. When closed, it creates a sealed compartment, preventing the rapid spread of flames. Additionally, it hinders the passage of smoke, maintaining visibility and enabling safer evacuation.
- Door Leaf
The main body of the door, often constructed from materials with high fire resistance.
- Intumescent Seals
Expand when exposed to heat, sealing gaps and preventing the passage of smoke and flames.
- Fire-Rated Hardware
Includes hinges, handles, and locks designed to withstand high temperatures.
- Self-Closing Mechanism
Ensures the door automatically closes, maintaining its fire resistance.
