What is fire rated glazing door

A fire-rated glazing door is a type of door that is designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke from one area to another within a building. It is constructed with a frame made of metal or other fire-resistant materials and glazed with fire-resistant glass. The glazing is usually made of tempered or laminated glass that is able to withstand high temperatures without breaking or cracking.Wired fire rated glass also used in some cases.

Total thickness of door vary from 55mm to 70mm.

Fire-rated glazing doors are typically used in areas where fire resistance is required, such as stairwells, corridors, and other escape routes. They are also used in areas where it is important to maintain visibility, such as in offices or public buildings.

Fire-rated glazing doors are tested and certified to meet specific fire resistance standards, which are established by various organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the International Building Code (IBC). The fire resistance rating of a door is measured in minutes, indicating how long the door can withstand the heat and flames of a fire without allowing it to spread to other areas of the building.
