Fire Rated Glass Doors

Overview

Fire Rated Glass Doors combine reliable life‑safety performance with clear sightlines.

As a factory‑direct manufacturer with 20+ years of experience, we engineer custom door assemblies tested to UL, BS, EN, and AS standards. Projects can specify 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes; higher ratings can be assessed when the application requires.

Certifications and Compliance

Products are qualified to UL 10C/10B and NFPA 252; BS 476 Part 22; EN 1634‑1; and AS 1530.4. Smoke control options are verified to UL 1784 and EN 1634‑3.

Clear documentation, traceability, and third‑party reports support approvals in multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, the Philippines, Qatar, and Macau.

Configurations and Design

Choose single, pair, or double‑acting doors for high‑traffic routes. Slim steel or aluminum frames maximize glass area while keeping tested clearances and seal compression. Sidelites and transoms can be integrated to form continuous glazed fire barriers. Sizes are tailored within listing limits to optimize egress.

Hardware and Control

Surface or concealed closers and floor springs deliver reliable self‑closing. Certified latches, lever sets, panic or exit devices, and electric strikes can be paired with access control. Intumescent, perimeter smoke seals, and automatic drop seals help contain smoke; low‑profile or flush thresholds support accessibility.

Glass and Performance

Select fire‑protective glass (ceramic or wired) for integrity (E) and radiation control (EW) where permitted. Choose fire‑resistive, multi‑layer intumescent laminates when insulation (EI) is required to limit temperature rise. Optional acoustic make‑ups improve Rw/STC; laminated safety glass meets EN 12600 and ANSI Z97.1. Edge stability, scratch resistance, and UV durability support long service life.

Frames, Finishes, and Aesthetics

Frames are available in stainless steel 304/316, powder‑coated carbon steel, or anodized aluminum. Finishes include brushed stainless and RAL colors; wood‑clad trims and ceramic frits on glass enable visual privacy or branding without affecting ratings.

Applications

• Commercial offices and tower lobbies to separate lift halls while keeping spaces open.


• Healthcare and laboratories where visibility and hygiene matter; EI options help protect people and equipment.


• Education and public buildings requiring durable, impact‑safe assemblies with clear sightlines.


• Hospitality, retail, and transport hubs that need refined appearance and high‑cycle hardware.

Quality, Production, and Delivery

Production follows BS, EN, and UL procedures with in‑house checks for materials, dimensions, seal integrity, and operational cycling. Batch traceability and routine sampling maintain consistency across deliveries, backed by third‑party reports.

Units can be supplied prehung with prepared hardware to speed installation. Manuals, labels, and protective packaging support smooth handover, with global logistics and responsive aftercare.

Category‑Specific Note

We also supply BS‑tested 60‑minute non‑insulated door sets as a cost‑effective choice where EI is not mandated, combining clarity with dependable integrity performance.

FAQs

• 
  

  What do E, EW, and EI mean?

  
  

  E is integrity; EW adds radiation control; EI adds insulation to limit temperature rise. Select according to local code and proximity to occupants or combustibles.

  
  


• 
  

  Can these doors be used on escape routes?

  
  

  Yes, when sized for egress and fitted with compliant hardware and closers. Smoke‑tested assemblies to UL 1784 or EN 1634‑3 are recommended.

  
  


• 
  

  Are large sizes possible?

  
  

  Large clear openings are available within tested listings. For oversized needs, use multi‑leaf configurations or add sidelites and transoms.
