Wooden fire-rated doors are made by combining different layers of wood and other fire-resistant materials to achieve a specific level of fire resistance. The process of making wooden fire-rated doors includes the following steps:

Basic sizes of wooden fire rated doors have shutter thickness from 55mm to 70mm .Outer frame size from 57mm*150mm which totally upto customer requirement.

  1. Design and specifications: The door manufacturer determines the size, shape, and required fire rating of the door based on the building code and client needs.
  2. Materials selection: The manufacturer selects the appropriate materials to achieve the required fire rating. The door core is typically made of a fire-resistant material, such as solid wood, particleboard, or mineral core and calcium silicate board and mineral wool. The outer layer is usually made of solid wood or a veneer finish.
  3. Assembly: The door is assembled by sandwiching the fire-resistant core material between the wooden outer layers. Special adhesives and clamping techniques are used to ensure a strong bond.
  4. Cutting and finishing: The door is cut to the required size and shape, and then sanded, primed, and painted or laminated to give it a finished appearance.
  5. Hardware installation: The door hardware, such as hinges, panic bar and handles, locks is then installed as to match customer requirement.
  6. Testing and certification: The completed door is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure it meets the required fire rating and safety standards. The door manufacturer must obtain a certificate of compliance before the door can be sold and installed.
