How Do Fire Doors Work?
Fire doors are part of passive fire protection, designed to contain fire and smoke.
Core Construction
- Dense timber or composite cores
- Fire‑resistant facings
- Reinforced edges
Intumescent Seals
Expand at high temperatures to seal gaps around the door.
Hardware
All components must be fire rated and tested as part of the door set.
Final Thoughts
Fire doors work by combining materials, seals, and hardware to create a barrier that slows fire spread and protects escape routes.
