Fire rated doors are commonly used in exits from one compartment of a structure to another, and in stairways, to secure the exits. They stop the spread of fire from penetrating beyond the fire rated doors. Therefore, when used along stairways, it allows people to safely evacuate a structure in case of a fire. Fire rated doors can limit and prevent the spread of fire for several hours, depending on its fire rating. This allows the occupants of the structure to safely exit the premises until necessary help arrives to dispel the fire. In particular applications or areas of inaccessibility, fire rated doors for a few hours are recommended. Fire rated doors with fire rating of up to 4 hours are made of steel, and up to 2 hours are made from wood.
It is recommended to check if the fire rated door to be considered is wooden or steel. Other important aspects of consideration are to determine the overall time that a fire rated door will stop a fire from further propagation. The type of accessories used, parameters such as door frame profile, steel sheet thickness, door shutter thickness, and more, matching to type test report and material test certificate issued by the fire rated door manufacturer are the actual legitimate properties to look for in a fire rated door.
Additionally, one must seek the type of test certificates from fire rated door manufacturers and traceability of sourcing from the original fire rated door manufacturer, in addition to acceptable standards of tests conducted on fire rated doors and experience of the fire rated door manufacturers.
It is also equally valid to consider where the fire rated doors are to be installed. For instance, in a large office building, fire rated doors can be installed at the entry for each office suite as opposed to one in every interior office. Location is key when it comes to the prevention of smoke and fire transmission and spread.
