A fire door is a specially designed safety feature that provides a barrier to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, ensuring safe evacuation and protecting property. These doors are a critical component of a building’s fire safety strategy, offering protection for specific periods, typically ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the fire resistance rating.
