Project Description
Fire Doors (Integrity & Insulated)
General Information
Integrity doors are used to protect property and life in the event of a fire by inhibiting the spread of fire, whereas insulated doors are used when it is required to retard the transmission of heat from one area to another.
Fitzpatrick metal doors can be manufactured in stainless steel or galvanized steel, frames are manufactured from 1.5mm sheet thickness while leaves are manufactured from 1.2 mm sheet thickness.
They are available in either a primed or powder coated finish to any available RAL color and can be manufactured in many sizes and many configurations to suit the architectural design of the protected area.
A big range of RAL colors is available upon the client’s request and in many textural finishes such as “Orange Peel”, “Sandy”, “Bright” or “Matt”. Fitzpatrick metal doors can also attain a wood-like finish by using the latest Italian Sublimation technologies.
Extended Fire Resistance Doors and Insulated Doors
Fitzpatrick range of integrity and insulated doors has been specifically designed to meet the requirements for prolonged fire resistance for periods of up to 240 minutes in integrity and 180 minutes in insulation, and to be as flexible as possible to meet all the specifier’s aesthetic/architectural requirements including seamless and/or steel cladded construction.
The inherent properties of steel fire doors eliminate the need for intumescent seals as the metal expands with heat to seal any gaps.
Fire Resistance
Fitzpatrick fire doors have been successfully subjected to BS476: Part 22 and UL 10C fire testing allowing Fitzpatrick to certificate 60, 90, 120, 240 minute assemblies to the British standard or European Norm and 45, 1-1/2, 3 hours to the American standard.
Fire rated doors are manufactured strictly in accordance with the UL scheme or the Intertek scheme or the IFC scheme and they are available in a Honeycomb, Rockwool or temperature rise core as a standard infill material.
Insulated doors
Fitzpatrick range of insulated doors have been successfully tested to EN 1634-1:2014 at Efectis insulating Doorsets allowing Fitzpatrick to certificate 30, 60, 120 and 180 minute insulation.
Ironmongery
Fitzpatrick fire doors are prepared to receive any type of ironmongery according to the hardware set description. In addition, all our metal doors are reinforced with 5mm reinforcements to receive the required hinges and 3mm reinforcements to receive locks and strikes.
Vision Panels & Louvers
All fire rated doors can receive a glazed vision panel or a fire louver, sizes can vary depending on the fire-rating norm, duration and client’s requirements.
