Fire Rated Doors are specially designed doors that help slow or prevent the spread of fire and smoke between rooms or areas within a building. Constructed from fire-resistant materials such as steel, gypsum, or solid wood, these doors are tested and certified to withstand fire for a specific period—typically 20, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. Fire rated doors are essential for enhancing building safety and are commonly used in commercial spaces, apartment buildings, garages, and stairwells. Their role is crucial in providing occupants with additional time to evacuate and minimizing property damage during a fire emergency.
