Why Fire Rated Internal Doors Matter

Fire doors play a vital role in any building’s fire safety strategy. When correctly specified, installed and maintained, they:

  • Help contain fire and smoke within compartments
  • Protect escape routes such as corridors and stair cores
  • Provide critical time for occupants to evacuate safely
  • Support access for emergency services

In practice, they are one of the most important passive fire protection measures within a building.

E30 Fire Doors (30 minutes)

Our E30 steel fire doors provide 30 minutes of fire resistance, making them ideal for low- to moderate-risk internal environments, such as:

  • Lower-risk internal areas
  • Shorter escape routes
  • Basic compartmentation requirements

E60 Fire Doors (60 minutes)

Designed for medium-risk internal applications, our E60 steel fire doors deliver 60 minutes of fire resistance.

Commonly used in:

  • Schools, healthcare and commercial buildings
  • Busier environments with higher occupancy
  • More complex layouts requiring additional protection

In these buildings, higher foot traffic, complex layouts, and longer evacuation times demand added protection and reliability in the event of a fire.

E120 Fire Doors

Providing up to 120 minutes of internal fire protection, our E120 steel fire doors are ideal for sectors and spaces where extended fire resistance is essential:

  • Plant rooms and high-risk service areas
  • Data centres and critical infrastructure
  • High-rise or complex buildings where extended containment is required

The correct fire rating is determined by your fire strategy and risk assessment, not simply by building type.
