Steel fire rated doors and windows are designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke for a specified time, allowing safe evacuation and protecting other areas of a building. These assemblies are manufactured to meet UK building regulations and tested to recognised British and European fire safety standards.

Key Features & Performance

• Fire resistance from 30 to 240 minutes (tested to BS 476: Part 22 / BS EN 1634-1)
• Available as single or double leaf doors, fixed windows, or glazed door panels
• Fully steel construction for durability and stability
• Glazed or solid panel options
• Optional thermal insulation where required
• Wide range of frame profiles and configurations to suit building layouts

Compliance & Certification

All products are independently tested in accredited UK laboratories and supplied with certification indicating:

• Fire resistance duration
• Test standards applied
• Test report reference numbers

Standards met include:

• BS 476: Part 22 – Fire resistance tests for door and shutter assemblies
• BS EN 1634-1 – Fire resistance and smoke control tests for door assemblies

Construction & Materials

Frames and leaf sections are manufactured from formed and welded steel profiles. Doors may incorporate a fire-resistant mineral core or insulation as specified.
Surfaces are available in primed, galvanised, or powder-coated finishes to meet project requirements.

Glazing Options

Where vision panels or windows are required, fire-rated glass is supplied to match the fire resistance of the complete assembly. Options include:

• Clear fire-rated glass
• Laminated fire glass
• Wired glass (where permitted)

Hardware & Accessories

• Certified fire-rated hinges, locks, closers, and panic hardware
• Intumescent and smoke seals
• Optional air transfer grilles (fire rated)
• Vision panels in multiple sizes and configurations

Applications

These assemblies are commonly specified in:

• Escape corridors and stairwells
• Plant rooms, electrical switch rooms, and service risers
• Internal fire compartments in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings
• Access doors to fire-protected storage areas

Installation & Maintenance

Installation will be carried out by competent installers familiar with fire-rated assemblies and manufacturer guidelines.

Regular inspections are necessary to ensure seals, glazing, and hardware remain in working order and compliant with the original test certification.
