Safeguard Your Building's Integrity with Access Doors Canada's Fire-Rated Access Doors
Ensure your building meets the highest fire rating standards with Access Doors Canada's premium fire-rated access doors. Our extensive selection offers the best solutions for concealing essential building elements while maintaining a fire barrier.
Why Our Fire-Rated Products Stand Above the Rest
We use high-quality, fire-resistant steel with intumescent core materials. During a fire, this core expands to create a thick insulating layer, effectively sealing the opening and slows down flames and smoke from spreading for specified period. This ensures occupants have precious extra time to evacuate safely.
Key Benefits Across Our Fire-Rated Access Doors
- Rigorously Tested Fire-Rated Doors: Our doors are rigorously tested and meet stringent fire ratings, providing a vital line of defense in a fire emergency.
- Durability and Longevity: Constructed with robust steel, our fire-rated access doors are built to withstand daily use and demanding environments.
- Seamless Integration: Our fire-rated access doors are available in various sizes, styles, and finishes to blend seamlessly with any architectural design.
- Maintain Fire Compartmentation: Our fire-rated doors are designed to maintain the fire-resistance rating of the wall or ceiling on which they are located. This is crucial for slowing the spread of fire and ensuring safer egress routes.
We offer a variety of fire-rated doors, including both insulated and uninsulated options. Our insulated doors provide additional benefits such as soundproofing and energy efficiency, making them ideal for specific applications.
Important Note: Fire doors are rated for specific applications (walls or ceilings). Installing a wall-rated door on a ceiling will compromise the fire rating of the assembly. Ensure you choose the appropriate door for the intended surface.
Commonly Asked Questions
What are the standards for fire-rated doors?
Fire-rated doors meet benchmarks set by UL and NFPA, with ratings (20-180 minutes) indicating how long they withstand a standard fire test. Local building codes reference these standards to specify required fire ratings for different building areas.
What makes a door fire-rated?
Fire-rated doors combine fire-resistant cores (gypsum, mineral wool) that expand for insulation, steel construction for strength, and intumescent seals that swell to block gaps, creating a fire barrier.
What's the difference between fire-rated and non-fire-rated doors?
Fire-rated doors feature steel construction, fire-resistant cores, and seals. Regular doors use less fire-resistant materials and focus on everyday use. Building codes often mandate fire-rated doors in specific locations due to their crucial role in fire protection.
What brands of fire-rated doors does Access Doors Canada carry?
Access Doors Canada has a large inventory of fire-rated access doors from top manufacturers. We have an extensive selection of fire-rated products from Best Access Doors, Acudor, and JL Industries, as well as doors and panels from Cendrex, Elmdor, and Williams Brothers.
