What are fire doors?

Fire-rated doors are specially designed doors constructed to withstand fire and smoke for a specified period, helping to prevent the spread of flames and protect escape routes. These doors are made from fire-resistant materials such as metal, gypsum, or treated timber, ensuring they provide robust protection in the event of a fire. They are fitted with specialised hardware, such as fire-rated hinges, locks, and closers, to enhance their effectiveness and durability.

Key characteristics of fire-rated doors include a fire-resistance rating, which indicates how long the door can withstand fire, usually measured in minutes or hours. Larnec offers products that achieve fire resistance ratings from 1 hour to 4 hours, ensuring that we can find a product that suits our clients' specific needs. This rating ensures that the door will provide adequate protection for a set duration, allowing occupants to evacuate safely and helping to contain the fire.

Additionally, fire doors feature intumescent seals that expand when exposed to heat. These seals fill gaps around the door, blocking smoke and flames from spreading through the openings. Overall, fire-rated doors play a crucial role in fire safety by creating barriers that slow the spread of fire and smoke, protecting both people and property. Their construction from fire-resistant materials and incorporation of specialised hardware make them a vital component of any building's fire safety strategy.

Factors influencing cost of fire doors

Several factors influence the cost of a fire door, including the quality of materials and design. Key elements such as the frame and door leaf contribute significantly to the overall price. Due to the custom nature of fire doors, the inclusion of vision panels or upgraded hardware can contribute to a higher door cost compared to traditional standard PA doors.

Larnec produces high-quality, Australian-made fire doors, ensuring durability and reliability. Our fire doors undergo rigorous testing and certification processes to meet safety standards, which also impacts pricing.
