Guest KristianR Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hello, I am hoping you could provide some information regarding fire door types. I have a steel frame/glass paneled double door in a place of work and have been told it is a fire door however it is missing any identification as to it's rating, doesn't have a visible seal in the frame and has a visible gap between the two doors. Is it possible that this is a fire door with fire resistant glass or is this more unlikely? I understand this is perhaps an odd request but my research into fire door regulations hasn't provided any solid answer. Many thanks Kristian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Many years ago I was involved in double metal doors, fully glazed, with the intumescent seals concealed under phosphore bronze lippings, that met a two hour fire resistant standard. I think your door could be a fire door you need to check out the manufacturer. Check out https://www.iqglassuk.com/products/steel-framed-fire-rated-doors/s24176/ they are possible.

Neil Ashdown MAFDI Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Fire resisting glass products have been available for many years but as with all fire and smoke compartmentation its about correct installation of the correct system so I would advise consulting a fire resistant glass expert. There's useful info on fire resisting glazing in the document 'A Guide to Best Practice in the Specification and Use of Fire-Resistant Glazed Systems' at http://www.ggf.org.uk/publication/FRGbest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
