Fire Doors

Fire doors are one of the most important safety features in any commercial or public building. They are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, creating protected escape routes and giving people extra time to evacuate safely. Without properly functioning fire doors, even a small fire can spread quickly, putting lives and property at greater risk.

There are different types of fire doors, most commonly FD30 (30-minute) and FD60 (60-minute) rated doors. The number refers to the minimum time the door is designed to withstand fire, helping to contain flames and smoke within a specific area. Choosing the right door for your building is vital, as higher-risk areas may require longer protection to ensure a safe evacuation.
