Fire doors are a critical component of passive fire protection, designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building. By maintaining compartmentation, they protect escape routes, limit property damage, and save lives. Fire doors are typically made from fire-resistant materials, fitted with intumescent seals, and equipped with self-closing devices to ensure they perform effectively in an emergency.

Every person who uses or occupies a building has the right to expect that if a fire occurs, they will be safe. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case.
Something may go wrong with the structure’s construction, or with the fire safety equipment, resulting in death or serious injury Fire doors are an important component of a building’s passive fire protection system and are required for all public buildings, offices, and factories.
In everyday usage, a fire door’s basic function is the same as any other door. However, because a fire outbreak is never predictable, the fire door, unlike any other door, must fulfill its primary purpose: to safeguard lives and provide protection to the rest of the structure and to neighbouring structures.

A fire door is a specially constructed door designed to resist fire and smoke for a set period, protecting escape routes and compartmentation. It works by combining fire-resistant materials, intumescent seals, and self-closing devices, which expand or close automatically in a fire to prevent the spread of flames and smoke.
Fire door ratings indicate the duration a door can resist fire. FD30 doors offer 30 minutes of fire resistance, while FD60 doors provide 60 minutes. Ratings such as FD30s or FD60s indicate additional smoke resistance, ensuring safer evacuation routes.
Fire doors should be inspected at least annually, or more frequently in high-traffic or high-risk areas. Inspections check for damage, hardware function, correct self-closing operation, and intact seals. All inspections should be documented for compliance purposes.
Fire doors are made from a combination of solid timber, steel, or composite cores, often with intumescent seals around the edges. The materials are designed to resist high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity and supporting hardware like closers and hinges.
Yes, fire doors can be used externally, but they must be rated and tested for both fire and weather resistance. External fire doors require robust construction, suitable seals, and sometimes additional coatings or glazing to meet building regulations and protect against environmental conditions.
Maintenance includes checking door alignment, hinges, self-closing devices, intumescent seals, and hardware functionality. Damaged or non-compliant doors must be repaired or replaced. Keeping an updated door log ensures traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
