Fire Rated Doors

We at Tesla Fire Systems install Ontario Building Code residential and commercial fire-rated doors. Our experienced carpenters are familiar with every construction application.

Fire-rated doors play a critical role in ensuring the safety and security of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. They are designed to withstand extreme heat and prevent the spread of fire and smoke, providing valuable time for occupants to evacuate and for emergency personnel to control the situation. These doors are made from a variety of fire-resistant materials such as steel, gypsum, wood, or specialized glass, and they undergo rigorous testing to meet safety regulations. Their fire ratings, which typically range from 20 minutes to up to three hours, indicate how long the door can withstand exposure to fire without compromising its structural integrity.

One of the key benefits of fire-rated doors is their ability to compartmentalize spaces within a building. By containing fire and smoke in specific areas, they help to reduce damage and maintain clear escape routes. This containment feature is especially crucial in high-traffic and multi-level buildings such as office complexes, shopping malls, hospitals, and schools. In addition to safeguarding human lives, fire-rated doors also protect valuable property and sensitive equipment, minimizing overall loss during a fire incident.

Beyond their functional purpose, modern fire-rated doors are designed to blend seamlessly into various interior and architectural styles. They come in a wide range of designs, finishes, and sizes, making it possible to maintain aesthetic appeal without compromising on safety. Glass fire-rated doors, for example, are increasingly popular in commercial settings where transparency and natural light are essential, while still offering high levels of fire protection.

Installing fire-rated doors is not just a safety measure but often a legal requirement in many regions. Building codes and safety regulations mandate the use of fire-rated doors in specific areas, such as stairwells, exit routes, and utility rooms. Property owners and builders need to ensure compliance with these regulations to avoid penalties and, more importantly, to provide a secure environment for occupants. Proper installation and regular maintenance are crucial to ensure that fire-rated doors perform effectively when needed. Hinges, seals, and other components must be inspected and serviced periodically to maintain their integrity and functionality.
