Custom Designed Fire Doors
Every building has its own set of requirements, including the shape and design of its door. That’s why Custom Designed Fire Doors are an integral part of our services.
Many unique components form the basis of a legal, functioning fire door. Some of these components are set-in-stone, but others can be manufactured to fulfil specific needs.
Today, we’ll be covering your material options for Fire Doors as well as further customisation options.
Material Options for Fire Doors
There are three main types of Fire Door construction materials: Steel, Glass, and Timber.
Steel is the most versatile option, very easily constructed to withhold fire for 30 minutes (FD30) or 60 minutes (FD 60), depending on your building’s requirements.
Glass Fire Doors rely on fire-rated glazing to ensure safety. Glass Fire Doors are commonly chosen for their aesthetic quality, particularly for modern buildings.
Timber Fire Doors are beautifully and carefully crafted. However, they usually offer the least amount of fire protection.
Customisable Fire Door Options
Fire Door Frames:
In 2012, Fire Safe Doors invested in a facility that efficiently manufactured quality Fire Door Frames to various specifications.
Our metal frames, standard or non-standard, in both fire-rated and non-fire-rated forms, are all made from quality materials.
We’ve been able to alter measurements and turn around customized fire door frames within 2-3 days (depending on the size of the order) ever since.
Fire Door Panels:
Fire door panels are an important piece of fire equipment and are designed and installed in most building types. Fire door panels and their installation must be completed following specifications set by Australian Standards and the BCA. Applicable certification is also an important factor in this process.
A wide variety of door panels are available, and our staff will assist in selecting the most cost-efficient panel type to meet our client’s requirements.
All door panels supplied by Fire Safe Doors can be provided to suit requirements for rebated door sets and seals, vision panels, return air grilles, electric locks, and selected architectural hardware.
Why Customize?
Customisation offers a myriad of advantages:
Safety: The size and thickness of your fire door directly correlate to its ability to withstand fire and smoke for longer time periods. Simply put, a customized fire door with thicker measurements will limit fire spread for a longer period of time. It’s definitely worth considering a thicker fire door if a room in your building regularly contains people or products that burn quickly.
Acoustics: Fire Doors don’t just have to protect you from fire. They can protect you from excessive noise too. In addition, we can customize our fire doors’ materials and thickness to assist in soundproofing a particular room.
Aesthetics: If you’d like your fire door to match the aesthetic components of your building, a customized order might be right for you. We can work with you to ensure that our fire door’s materials, measurements, and design fits comfortably with your buildings’ heritage and established protocol.
