A fire door refers to a fire-resistant door that is automatically closed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke inside the building. Fire doors are generally painted red in color. It consists of various components like solid timber frame, fire-resistant glass, intumescent seal at the edges of the door, fire alarms, and automatic closing objects at the doors. The intumescent seal expands when the heat level increases, sealing the gaps between the door and the door frame. The components of fire door are required to meet the fire code certifications and approvals by the local authority jurisdiction (AHJ). The fire safety is more important than installing a fire door. There are different fire codes like fd20 and fd30. These code specifically means the fire door has been tested to withstand the fire for 20 or 30 minutes and most commonly FD30 is used as the fire door.
