Advanced Fire Protection Technology
Modern residential fire doors incorporate cutting-edge fire protection technology that sets them apart from standard doors. At their core, these doors utilize sophisticated multi-layer construction techniques, combining fire-resistant materials with innovative design features. The doors typically feature a solid core made from specially engineered materials that maintain structural integrity even under extreme heat conditions. The intumescent seals integrated into the door frame represent a crucial technological advancement, expanding up to 10 times their original size when exposed to heat, creating an impenetrable barrier against smoke and flames. This active protection system works automatically, requiring no human intervention during a fire event. The doors also incorporate high-grade fire-resistant glazing when windows are present, ensuring that even these potentially vulnerable areas maintain the doors overall fire rating. The hardware used, including hinges, handles, and closing mechanisms, is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and continue functioning during fire conditions.
