Passive Fire Doors

Passive Fire Doors – Certified Fire-Rated Protection

Passive fire doors play a crucial role in compartmentalizing fire within buildings, providing vital protection by restricting the spread of flames and smoke. These fire-rated doors are engineered to withstand fire for a specified duration (typically 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes) and are a fundamental part of any building’s passive fire protection strategy.
