Steel fire protection doors, also known as fire-rated steel doors, are a critical component of a building’s fire safety system. These doors are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building, protecting people and property. They can control the spread of fire for up to three hours, providing crucial time for occupants to evacuate and for fire services to respond.
Benefits
Security: Steel doors are tough and resilient against attempts at forced entry. Their strength makes them a formidable deterrent to burglars. When equipped with proper locking mechanisms and reinforced with security ratings such as the Loss Prevention Standard (LPS) 1175, they can provide enhanced security for a building.
Durability and longevity: Steel doors are resistant to warping, cracking, and rot, which makes them long-lasting. They also require less maintenance compared to wooden doors.
Insulation: Steel doors can also provide good insulation, helping to keep a building warm in winter and cool in summer, thereby improving energy efficiency.
Typical Construction:
The standard construction of a steel security door includes features like non-handed design with reversible hinge plates, and interlocking seam for enhanced structural rigidity and durability. The door comes with a factory-applied rust inhibiting primer. They are generally available in standard door widths, though custom sizes can also be available.
External steel security doors are a strong, reliable, and highly functional addition to any building that values security, durability, and insulation.
