Array ( [name] => FireDoor [title] => Fire Door [content] =>
A fire door is a complete installed assembly, also known as a fire doorset, which is constructed of fire resisting components including doorframe, door leaf/leaves with any glazing panels required, ironmongery (locks, latches, hinges, etc), intumescent seals and an automatic closing device.
It is an internal door, whose function when closed is to resist the smoke and flames of a fire for a minimum period of time, typically 30 minutes (FD30). As such, a fire door acts to create/protect an escape route through a building or compartmentalise a fire in a section of the building, to facilitate the swift and safe evacuation of people from the premises.
