Shield Fire-resistant Doors

Why Shield fire-resistant
door?

The fire-resistant wooden doors are specially designed to resist fire within a specific time frame of two hours and up to 1100 degrees Celsius. They help to separate, delay fire expansion from one place to another and prevent smoke, as the smoke is much more dangerous.

Fire-resistant wooden doors are distinguished by safety features, which make it easy to break the door for rescue teams to enter. On the other hand, steel doors prevent the entry of civil protection teams once they are exposed to a high temperature due to the change in their shape and their inability to work. Therefore, our fire-resistant doors play an essential role in preserving lives, whether it's private or public property.

In addition to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and providing sound isolation, our product has been tested for fire resistance quality. We have obtained the Egyptian quality certificate. Furthermore, the doors are self-closing, add a unique appearance, and are available in a variety of shapes

The rating guidance of
the doors

Fire ratings provide you with guidance regarding safety issues. The main purpose of these ratings is to assess the durability of materials used to contain fire within an area while maintaining structural integrity.

Also, these ratings are useful because they help determine if a constructed site can provide occupants with sufficient time to vacate the area. You may have noticed minutes or hours as a way of indicating fire rating labels on fire doors. It is a fire endurance rating that can range from A to C, where C is the lowest fire resistance rating and A is the highest.

Assessments are based on tests taken against time such as 20, 40, 60 or 90 minutes. However, the fire rating does not indicate how long a door needs to withstand a fire. So, a door rated 60 minutes does not guarantee that it will withstand fire for up to 60 minutes.

This means that the door can be held for up to 60 minutes when tested in a controlled environment. In the real scenario, contributing factors such as heat intensity can significantly reduce the estimated time.

How can they help
during a fire?

Undoubtedly, no doors can be made 100% fireproof. And in some fire incidents, temperatures can get high enough to melt steel structures. Keep in mind that a fire door does not survive a fire.

But it slows down the spread of the fire and keeps it confined to the designated area as much as possible. They resist the penetration of heat and smoke within a certain time frame. They also provide enough time for building occupants to leave the building.

While people focus more on the fire element, they underestimate the importance of smoke inhalation. As such, people die as a result of smoke inhalation in residential fires. Fire rated wooden doors protect your assets and possessions while firefighters work on fire extinguishing procedures.

Since the doors are self-closing, they contain a fire which gives people enough time to escape. Moreover, it offers an aesthetic look and is available in a variety of finishes and styles. The smoke reduction features also prevent injuries and deaths in emergency situations
