Fire Doors

Fire doors are essential components of any building's fire safety strategy. They are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, providing critical time for occupants to evacuate and for emergency services to respond. At Envirotech, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality fire doors that meet stringent safety standards while being environmentally friendly. This page will delve into the technical aspects of fire doors, their manufacturing processes, and the unique features that set Envirotech apart in the industry.

Fire Door Understanding :-

Fire doors are specially made to withstand fire for a prescribed time. They are important components of passive fire protection in buildings, which is meant to contain and prevent the spread of a fire. Fire doors are rated according to their resistance to fire as measured in minutes. The common ratings include 20, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.

Importance of Fire Doors :-

Fire life safety: Creates a safe escape path for the occupants.

Property Sourcing: Fire can cause damage by minimizing property damage.

Code compliance: Fire doors are mandated by building codes and regulations.

Types of Fire Doors :-

At Envirotech, we offer a variety of fire doors to meet different needs and applications. The main types include:

  • 1. Single Fire Doors: Standard doors that provide fire resistance.

  • 2. Double Fire Doors: Two doors that open together, ideal for larger openings.

  • 3. Fire-rated Glass Doors: Incorporate glass panels while maintaining fire resistance.

  • 4. Rolling Fire Doors: Used in industrial settings, these doors roll up for access.

  • 5. Accordion Fire Doors: Foldable doors that save space while providing fire protection.

Fire Door Ratings :-

Fire doors are classified based on their fire resistance ratings. The table below summarizes the common fire door ratings and their applications:

Fire Rating Duration (Minutes) Typical Applications
20 20 Low-risk areas, such as storage rooms
45 45 Corridors and stairwells
60 60 Commercial buildings and offices
90 90 High-risk areas, such as laboratories
120 120 Industrial applications and warehouses

Fire Door Manufacturing Process at Envirotech :-

The manufacturing of fire doors at Envirotech involves a meticulous process to ensure that each door meets the highest safety standards. Below is a detailed overview of the key stages in our fire door manufacturing process:

Stage Description
Material Selection Choosing fire-resistant materials such as steel, wood, and gypsum.
Core Construction Creating a fire-resistant core using mineral-based materials.
Frame Assembly Constructing the door frame to support the door and maintain integrity.
Surface Finishing Applying finishes that enhance durability and aesthetics.
Testing Conducting fire resistance tests to ensure compliance with standards.
Certification Obtaining necessary certifications from relevant authorities.

Material Selection :-

At Envirotech, we prioritize the use of sustainable and fire-resistant materials. Our fire doors are constructed from:

  • Steel: Provides excellent fire resistance and durability.

  • Wood: Treated to enhance fire resistance while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

  • Gypsum: Used in core construction for its fire-resistant properties.

Core Construction :-

The core of a fire door is critical to its performance. We utilize advanced materials that can withstand high temperatures and prevent the passage of flames and smoke. Our core construction methods ensure that the doors maintain their integrity during a fire.

Frame Assembly :-

The frame of the fire door is designed to support the door and ensure a proper fit. At Envirotech, we use precision engineering to create frames that are level and plumb, which is essential for the door's effectiveness.

Surface Finishing :-

Our fire doors are finished with high-quality coatings that not only enhance their appearance but also provide additional protection against wear and tear. We offer a variety of finishes to suit different architectural styles.

Testing and Certification :-

All our fire doors undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed industry standards. We conduct fire resistance tests in accredited laboratories and obtain certifications from relevant authorities, ensuring that our products are compliant with regulations.

Standards and Regulations :-

Fire doors must comply with various standards and regulations to ensure safety. Key standards include:

  • NFPA 80: National Fire Protection Association standard for fire doors and windows.
  • UL 10C: Underwriters Laboratories standard for fire door assemblies.
  • BS 476: British Standard for fire tests on building materials and structures.
