Role of Fire-Rated Doors in a Building
In an integrated fire protection strategy, fire-rated doors work alongside compartmentation walls, hydrant and sprinkler systems, detection and alarms, and pressurised staircases. Their job is passive: to hold back fire and smoke long enough for occupants to evacuate and for emergency responders to reach the affected area.
Typical positions include staircase entries, lift lobbies where required, electrical and service shafts, plant rooms, storage areas and any opening across a rated compartment boundary.
