Nigeria Hospital Project: Complete Healthcare Door System Solution Delivered by Qi'an Door

We supplied a complete healthcare door system for a hospital construction project in Nigeria, covering fire protection, radiation shielding, and acoustic control across multiple functional zones. Our engineering team worked from the project's Door Schedule and drawings to deliver UL fire rated doors, radiation protection doors, and acoustic fire doors manufactured to the specific performance requirements of each hospital area.

We are not simply a door supplier — for this project, we acted as a healthcare door system solution provider, coordinating fire, radiation, and acoustic performance requirements across a single integrated door package.

Healthcare Project Background

Why Hospital Buildings Require an Integrated Door System

Modern healthcare facilities place higher demands on door systems than most other building types. A hospital door is rarely just a means of passage — it is part of the building's overall safety and functional system, and different zones within the same hospital require entirely different door performance.


We approach hospital projects with this understanding: door systems in a healthcare building need to address fire compartmentation, so that fire and smoke are contained within defined zones during an emergency; radiation protection, for departments using imaging or radiological equipment where shielding is a life-safety and staff-safety requirement; acoustic privacy, for consultation rooms, ICUs, and functional areas where patient confidentiality and a controlled sound environment matter; and daily operational reliability, since hospital doors are used continuously, around the clock, and must perform consistently under heavy daily traffic.


We do not have site details to share for this project — including the hospital name, address, developer, facility scale, or building area — as this information falls outside our supply role. What we can speak to directly is the door system scope we supplied and the engineering process behind it, which we outline below.

Project Challenges
Multiple Performance Requirements


Different areas within the same hospital required entirely different door performance. A hospital is not a single-specification building — it is a collection of functional zones, each governed by its own safety and operational logic, and a single door type applied across the whole facility would fail to meet at least some of these requirements. We needed to coordinate a single supply scope across fire, radiation, and acoustic requirements, rather than treating each product category separately as an isolated order.

This created several practical complications for us to manage. Fire-rated zones required doors verified to UL 10C, with the correct fire rating (45, 60, or 90 minutes) matched to each zone's compartmentation role. X-ray and imaging rooms required radiation shielding built into the door structure itself, which meant the door could not simply be a fire door with a different label — the lead shielding, frame, and core all needed to be engineered together as a single assembly. Consultation rooms and ICU/functional rooms needed acoustic performance for patient privacy and a controlled clinical environment, and in the ICU/functional room case, this acoustic performance needed to be delivered without sacrificing fire compartmentation, which is a more demanding engineering condition than a standard acoustic door. Interior areas, by contrast, prioritized architectural appearance and cost-appropriate wooden doors over specialized performance.

Getting this mapping wrong — for example, specifying a standard acoustic door where an acoustic fire door was required, or a fire door without radiation shielding in an imaging room — would have meant a wrong-and-uninstallable product for that zone, or worse, a product that appeared compliant but did not actually meet the zone's functional requirement. Managing this correctly meant our team needed to track performance requirements zone-by-zone across the entire Door Schedule, rather than filling a single bulk order.

Engineering Customization

The project required production based on the client's BOQ, architectural drawings, hardware requirements, and installation requirements. We could not supply from standard stock — each door needed to be engineered against project-specific documentation before manufacturing began.

In practice, this meant reconciling several layers of project-specific detail. Door dimensions and opening sizes needed to follow the architectural drawings rather than a standard catalog range, since hospital openings vary by zone and are not built to a single uniform size. Hardware requirements added a further layer of coordination — as detailed later in this case study, a significant portion of the hardware for the featured product was client-specified (customer-supplied), which meant our door construction, particularly frame thickness, reinforcement placement, and cut-outs, needed to be engineered to accept that specific hardware rather than our own default hardware package. Wall thickness and installation conditions also varied by zone, which affected frame depth and installation detailing. None of this could be resolved from a standard product line — each of these variables needed to be confirmed against project documentation before we released doors to production.
Complete Healthcare Door Solutions
UL Fire Door System

We supplied steel fire doors, wooden fire doors, and steel-wood composite fire doors for this project, manufactured to UL 10C fire standard with 45-minute, 60-minute, and 90-minute fire ratings. We produced these doors for fire compartments, equipment rooms, and other healthcare functional areas requiring fire-rated separation.


Radiation Protection Door System

We manufactured radiation protection doors and radiation acoustic doors for the project's X-ray rooms, radiology department, and medical imaging areas. Each door frame was built from 1.2mm galvanized steel sheet, with a lead plate shielding structure for radiation protection and a fire acoustic core. We produced these doors to UL 10C, 45-minute fire rating, with radiation shielding performance built into the door construction.

Wooden Door System

We supplied wooden fire doors, wooden glass fire doors, and wooden interior doors for this project. These products combine fire safety performance with an architectural finish appropriate for hospital public and interior areas, where appearance matters alongside compliance.

Public Area Door System

We supplied floor spring doors for the project's main entrance and other high-traffic public areas, where durability under continuous daily use is a key requirement.

Featured Product: UL Steel Acoustic Fire Door With Vision Panel

We developed this product for hospital areas that need fire protection, acoustic control, and visibility at the same time — such as consultation rooms, functional treatment rooms, and monitored patient areas — giving staff a clear sightline through the door without compromising fire or acoustic performance.

Engineering, Manufacturing & Delivery
From Engineering Drawings to Final Delivery
Our engineering team handles CAD drawing confirmation, Door Schedule review, hardware matching for client-supplied and self-supplied items, custom dimensions, and special structures such as the radiation shielding and acoustic cores used on this project.

Once drawings are confirmed, production follows a controlled process — material preparation, cutting & bending, welding, reinforcement, fire/acoustic core filling, powder coating, hardware assembly, quality inspection, and export packaging — with dimensional accuracy, core construction, and hardware fit checked at each key stage.

We coordinated this production schedule with technical documentation and export logistics to deliver the full multi-product door package — fire, radiation, and acoustic doors — to Nigeria within the project's construction timeline.

FAQ

What door types does a hospital project need, and how do they differ by area?

Hospitals typically need several door categories in one building: UL fire rated doors for fire compartments, radiation protection doors for X-ray/imaging rooms, acoustic doors for consultation rooms, and acoustic fire doors for ICU/functional rooms. We manage these as one coordinated supply scope.

What is a radiation protection door?

Can acoustic doors also meet fire ratings for ICUs?

How does your engineering team handle a complex hospital Door Schedule?

Does Qi'an Door have overseas hospital project experience, such as in Nigeria?
