Knowing your fire ratings is essential when specifying fire doors within apartment buildings.

Fire doors are tested and rated under 30-minute intervals (30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes).

This means they have been tested to prevent fire for the specified time.

Different areas of your building will require different fire ratings.

For example, the main routes of escape will need a higher fire rating (e.g. 60 minutes or 120 minutes).

However, a toilet or bathroom may only need a 30-minute door, if any fire rating at all.

So how do you know which fire doors to specify? Find out and discover other specification considerations in our latest blog:
