What makes a door a fire door?

Fire doors require a fire-resistance rating, demonstrating how long they can withstand fire in the event of an emergency. This resistance gives you and your family time to evacuate the building. Designed to be kept closed, they create an effective barrier between the fire and the rest of the home.

How can I tell if a door is a fire door?

Fire doors often have a gap of less than 4mm from the top and sides and less than 8mm from the bottom. Oak fire doors will also have a label or plug on the sides or top to demonstrate the fire rating. Most manufacturers will provide you with a fire safety certificate with each purchase.

Are oak fire doors solid wood?

Traditionally, oak fire doors will have an MDF or similar core inside, providing great stability and ensuring that they can withstand fires for a specified length of time. Most interior fire doors are FD30 rated, meaning that they can withstand half an hour in a fire.

Can oak fire doors have glass in them?

Contrary to popular belief, fire doors can have glass in them. The glass must be fire-rated, providing protection against fire and slowing the spread of fire and smoke. These doors are perfect for office buildings and dark rooms where you want natural light to flow in.
