The door itself is usually made from a solid timber frame but they can sometimes be covered again in fire resistant glass.
Fire doors may be constructed from a range of components from glass to wood to metal sheeting.
Materials used in fire rated metal doors the standards of how our hollow metal doors and frames are made determine the level of fire safety protection in terms of ul safety ratings.
Example materials used to make our doors include galvanized galvannealed cold rolled and hot rolled steel materials.
Glass sections including vision panels gypsum as an endothermic fill.
The door should be prepped at the factory so there is no more than three quarters of an inch of clearance between the bottom of the door and the finished floor.
