Our Non-Fire Rated Doors

The difference between fire-rated and non-fire-rated doors lies primarily in their ability to withstand the spread of fire. Fire-rated doors, often referred to as fire doors, are meticulously designed and tested to meet a specific fire resistance level. These doors are constructed with fire-resistant materials and components, such as intumescent seals, and are assigned a fire rating indicating the duration they can withstand fire and smoke. A fire door is critical in containing flames and smoke during a fire emergency, providing precious time for safe evacuation. 

On the other hand, non-fire-rated doors are intended for standard use and lack the specialised construction and fire resistance levels of fire-rated doors. While both serve essential purposes, it’s vital to understand these differences to ensure the appropriate door is selected for a specific environment, maintaining safety and compliance with building regulations.
