About Fire-Ratings
When shopping for fire-rated windows and doors, you’ll come across similar materials: steel, timber, aluminum, glass are among the most commonly used combination of resources for fire-resistance. When in doubt, make sure to ask the manufacturer about the specifics of how your product was tested to earn its fire-rating and they should provide you with detailed certifications.
For a fire-rated door to earn its rating, the slab and the door frame must both meet the requirements. And the fire-rating is more than the door itself, it also expands to the seals and door’s hardware. The strip and door’s gaskets must be able to prevent the passage of smoke or expand when exposed to heat, and the hardware must have automatic closing, gas and smoke seals, and positive latching mechanisms.
