There are several types of fire-rated doors designed to provide varying degrees of fire resistance and serve different purposes available at Security Direct. These include:
Fire-Rated Glass Doors: These doors incorporate fire-resistant glass panels, providing visibility while maintaining fire protection. Fire-rated glass doors or glazed doors are often used in areas where aesthetics and visibility are important.
Steel Fire Doors: Fire-rated steel doors are designed for both internal and external use, and are meticulously engineered to provide a reliable line of defence by slowing the spread of flames and smoke.
Fire-Rated Shutters: Fire-rated shutters serve as barriers that compartmentalise fire-prone areas, protecting people and limiting the spread of fire. These are more commonly used in kitchens, factories and warehouses.
Fire Curtains: Made from fire-resistant materials such as Kevlar, fire curtains particularly well-suited for open-plan buildings, theatres, atriums, and other areas where traditional doors or physical barriers may not be practical. They can be discreetly integrated into the building's design and, in the event of a fire, automatically descend to create a fire-resistant barrier.
