The Role of Fire Doors:

Fire doors aren’t just a formality, they have critical fire protection features designed to:

Contain fire and smoke long enough for safe evacuation
Secure escape routes, including stairwells, corridors, and communal areas
Automatically close behind people passing through
Resist fire for a minimum of 30 minutes (FD30 rating)

A damaged, poorly fitted or uncertified fire door can completely fail in an emergency, increasing the risk of harm. Routine checks and maintenance are essential to ensure fire doors perform when it matters most.

How Fire Doors Work

Fire doors are designed to slow the spread of fire and toxic smoke, giving occupants critical time to escape and emergency services time to respond. But not all fire doors offer the same level of protection, it depends on their fire resistance rating.

Here’s a breakdown of the most common ratings:

FD30 – Withstands fire for up to 30 minutes (the standard in most homes, offices, and apartment buildings)
FD60 – Offers 60 minutes of resistance, ideal for larger commercial premises
FD90 & FD120 – Delivers 90 to 120 minutes of protection, often used in high-risk sites like hospitals, data centres, and transport hubs

Many fire doors are also fitted with intumescent seals and smoke protection, which earn them an FDS rating (e.g. FDS30 or FDS60). These doors expand when exposed to heat, sealing gaps and preventing the spread of deadly smoke.
