Fire-resistant Doors
Fire-resistant Doors
Specifications
Fire-resistant doors are essential elements for passive fire protection, contributing to space compartmentalization and the safety of individuals. They are designed to delay the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring structural integrity and facilitating safe evacuation.
Why Fire-Resistant Doors
Implementing fire-resistant fireproof doors in various environments is crucial for protecting human lives and material assets, while also ensuring compliance with legal fire safety regulations.
Robust Construction
Made from galvanized steel sheet with anti-corrosion protection, painted electrostatically in various RAL shades.
Certified Fire Resistance
Available in classes EI30–EI120, providing protection between 30 and 120 minutes in case of fire.
Versatile Design
Doors made of laminated wood or fire-resistant glass, swinging, sliding, or folding, single or double, solid or glazed.
Extended Functionality
Can include transom light, fire-resistant glass, grilles, panic systems, or self-closing mechanisms.
Service and Maintenance
To maintain their functionality and efficiency over time, fire-resistant doors require periodic maintenance performed by specialized personnel.
Maintenance operations include:
- checking the closing mechanisms and self-closing devices;
- inspecting the thermo-expandable seals and smoke seals;
- controlling the structural integrity of the leaves and frames;
- for glazed doors – checking the glass and mounting system;
- for sliding models – testing the sliding mechanism and gravitational closing system.
Preventive maintenance ensures compliance with legal regulations, reduces the risk of damage, and extends the product’s lifespan, guaranteeing real protection in emergencies. Read more about service and maintenance for fireproof doors on the service and maintenance page.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fire-resistant door?
A fire-resistant door is a door specially designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke between compartments of a building in the event of a fire. It helps protect evacuation routes and increases the time available for intervention and evacuation.
What do the EI30, EI60, or EI120 classifications mean?
The classification indicates the duration, in minutes, for which the door maintains its integrity and thermal insulation capacity during a fire. For example, an EI60 door is designed to provide protection for at least 60 minutes under the testing conditions specified by the applicable standards.
Where are fire-resistant doors used?
Fire-resistant doors are used in hospitals, office buildings, shopping centers, industrial units, hotels, and other buildings where fire compartmentalization and protection of evacuation routes are required.
What is the difference between a fire-resistant door and a regular door?
A fire-resistant door is tested and certified to limit the spread of fire and smoke for a specified period. A regular door is not designed or certified to meet these fire safety requirements.
Are fire-resistant doors mandatory in a building?
The need to install fire-resistant doors depends on the building’s purpose and the requirements of the fire safety design. They are often specified on evacuation routes, between fire compartments, and in technical areas with specific risk.
Can fire-resistant doors be equipped with access control systems?
Yes. Fire-resistant doors can be integrated with access control systems, hold-open electromagnets, fire alarm systems, and other equipment, in compliance with the applicable fire safety requirements.
How do you check whether a fire-resistant door is working properly?
The check includes inspecting the closing mechanisms, seals, accessories, and the correct operation of associated systems. Periodic inspections are important to maintain the performance for which the door was certified.
How often does a fire-resistant door need maintenance?
The frequency of checks depends on usage and the building’s requirements, but at least one annual inspection is recommended. In high-traffic buildings or those with strict fire safety requirements, more frequent checks may be needed.
