Fire Rated Doors

the reliable fully accredited FD30 fire-rated door brand created by Fab Frames

Fire-safety is an essential requirement for all multi-occupancy buildings and commercial premises. In the case of an emergency, reducing the spread of fire can save lives. The fire-rated Defendoor does just this. The Defendoor fire door can delay the spread of fire and smoke for up to one thirty minutes, allowing a safe evacuation and giving the emergency services enough time to control the fire. The Defendoor FD30 fire door from Fab Frames provides the highest levels of fire protection available today. Its primary focus is, of course, on fire-safety. It does, however, provide many other benefits to the building’s performance and appearance.
