The complete double-door set tested and certified for one hour of fire resistance in accorance with AS 1530.4:2014. Suitable for application in commercial, industrial, and residential spaces. This door set is applicable to Pair Doors for all fire-resistant functions including the separation of a building’s fire compartments, protection of exit routes, and high fire risk areas such as kitchens and laboratories. Spence Doors’ manufacturing capabilities are suited to bulk manufacture of this door set custom to its purpose in your project.
Overview
The Pair Door configuration features Two Door Leafs + 1.6mm Pressed Metal Frame or a Timber Frame + Leading Edge Meeting Stiles. The door leafs are 48mm thick and may be up to 3000mm x 1500 / 1500mm for a standard swing doorset. Featuring a Pyropanel fire-resistant core with a Hardboard or Greenboard internal frame. All other features are customisable including frame function, door skins & cladding, and inclusion of accessories and hardware.
Compliance
All Spence Doors’ Fire-Rated doors feature intumescent seals around the internal frame; designed to expand under exposure to extreme heat. Paired with a Pyropanel fire-resistant core, this forms a door set capable of maintaining its fire resistance without the need for Fire Bolts. This is imperative for the door’s safety as an activated Fire Bolt fixes the door shut thereby rendering it inoperable. This poses a safety concern on two fronts:
Pair Doors also present a new gap for fire passage relative to single door sets. The vertical section between the two door leafs must be sealed in order to uphold tested and certified Fire-Rated standards. This is fulfilled with Meeting Stiles fitted along each leaf's leading edge.
