A fire rated door is a specially constructed door designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke for a specific period of time—commonly 60, 120, or 180 minutes—depending on its fire resistance rating. It is made from fire-resistant materials and plays a crucial role in enhancing building safety by containing fires and providing occupants with valuable time to evacuate.
These doors are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and are often equipped with fire-rated hardware such as automatic closers, smoke seals, and heat-resistant hinges. Fire rated doors are a key component of passive fire protection systems.
