Single FD60 Fire Doors

1 Hour Fire Door

An FD60 rated fire door, installed and maintained correctly, will hold back smoke and flames for a minimum of one hour. Fire doors are an essential part of compartmentation within a building, which slows the spread of smoke and flames by containing the fire within sections. For example, if a fire breaks out in one room of the building, a closed fire door makes this one compartment, and contains the fire here until that door gives way; for an FD30 door, this would be at least 30 minutes, while an FD60 fire door will last at least an hour. Once the fire has spread from its initial compartment, it is then contained again in the next until that door gives way. This provides more time for building users to escape to safety.

FD60 vs FD30 fire doors

An FD30 rated fire door will withstand smoke and flames for at least 30 minutes, while an FD60 fire door will do this for at least an hour. In order to achieve a fire rating, fire doors must be tested in controlled conditions, and shown to be effective for a particular length of time (i.e., 30 or 60 minutes). FD ratings of up to 240 are available for high-risk environments, providing four hours of protection. For more information about the differences between FD30 and FD60 fire doors, read our blog.
