FAQs – Fire Doors
A fire-rated door is specially designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building. These doors are constructed using fire-resistant materials and include essential components such as intumescent seals, fire-rated hinges, and self-closing mechanisms. When exposed to heat, the seals expand to block gaps around the door, helping to contain the fire and allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Fire doors are commonly required in commercial buildings, apartment blocks, HMOs, and certain residential properties to comply with UK Building Regulations and fire safety legislation. They are often installed in stairwells, corridors, kitchens, and between different sections of a building to prevent fire from spreading quickly. Landlords and business owners must ensure fire-rated doors are installed in appropriate locations to meet safety standards.
The FD rating refers to how long a fire door can resist fire and smoke during a fire test. FD30 doors provide approximately 30 minutes of fire resistance, FD60 doors provide around 60 minutes, and FD90 doors can resist fire for up to 90 minutes when installed correctly. The appropriate rating depends on the type of building and the fire safety requirements set out in UK building regulations.
In some cases, existing doors can be upgraded to improve their fire resistance by installing fire-rated hinges, intumescent seals, and appropriate door closers. However, not all doors are suitable for upgrading, and some properties may require fully certified fire door installations to meet current fire safety regulations. A professional assessment from an Oka carpenter can determine the most suitable solution for your property.
