90 Minute Fire-rated Door — Exterior
Description

Exterior doors with a 90 to 240 minute rating are supplied as a complete exterior fire, smoke and acoustic door set, including door leaf, door jamb, seals and, when requested, appropriate hardware.

To achieve fire rating, fire doors must be self-closing and self-latching. Hardware must be selected from the approved hardware list.

Doors come factory sealer coated as standard, ready for priming and painting, and can also be supplied unsealed with a specified overlay (wood veneer, laminate, vinyl or metal). Inlay panels can also be affixed on request, to suit heritage buildings.

Refer to datasheets for door thickness and leaf sizes.

Due to their solid core NZFD fire doors can achieve up to STC 35 (acoustic rating) if installed with appropriate perimeter seals.
