FIRE RESISTANCE
Fire resistance in the context of doors refers to the ability of these doors to retain their structural, insulating and functional properties when exposed to fire for a specified period of time. This is an important characteristic to protect people and property in the event of fire.
Fire resistant doors are made from high quality materials that have been specifically tested and approved to withstand extreme temperatures and exposure to fire. A key element of these doors is their ability to reduce the passage of fire, smoke and heat from one side of a room to the other, which can be critical to saving lives and minimising property damage.
The fire resistance rating of a door is based on the length of time it is able to provide protection from fire. Designations such as ‘EI30’, ‘EI60’ etc. indicate the degree of fire resistance. The first letter (E) refers to the fire tightness, specifying how long the door can protect against the transmission of fire to the non-heated side as a result of the passage of flames or hot gases. The second letter (I) refers to fire insulation, specifying the resistance of the door to the effects of fire without significant heating of the internal surface. The number indicates the time expressed in minutes.
For example, a door marked ‘EI60’ will maintain integrity for 60 minutes and effectively stop heat conduction for the same period. This means that for the first hour after the outbreak of a fire, a fireproof door will provide a barrier that will allow people to evacuate and limit the spread of fire to other rooms.
It is worth noting that fire doors should be installed in appropriate locations so that they form an effective fire barrier and allow safe use of escape routes. Regular maintenance and keeping the doors in good working order are essential to ensure that they retain their fire resistance in the event of a fire occurring.
In summary, fire resistant doors are a key component of fire safety as they protect people and property by limiting the spread of fire, smoke and heat. Their classification is based on their ability to retain their integrity and thermal insulation for a specified period of time, allowing a controlled response to fire and enabling evacuation and rescue operations.
Fire resistance, in relation to doors, is a characteristic that defines the ability of these doors to effectively limit the penetration of smoke from one side of the room to another. In the event of a fire, smoke-resistant doors play a crucial role in preventing the spread of smoke, which can pose a threat to people and negatively affect visibility and evacuation conditions.

SMOKE CONTROL
Smoke control doors are designed to effectively seal gaps between the door frame and the door leaf. This sealing is crucial because it allows for the minimization of smoke penetration from one fire zone to another, thereby enhancing safety and increasing the chances of successful evacuation.
Similar to fire resistance, smoke control doors undergo rigorous testing to confirm their ability to limit smoke penetration at ambient temperature and at 200°C.
Smoke control doors are an important component of fire safety systems, especially in large public buildings such as hotels, office buildings, hospitals, and shopping centers. Effective protection against smoke penetration improves visibility, minimizes the risk of smoke inhalation-related hazards, and facilitates the work of rescue services during firefighting and evacuation operations.
In summary, smoke control of doors is a key aspect of fire safety, referring to the ability of doors to limit smoke penetration from one fire zone to another. Properly designed and tested smoke-resistant doors are crucial for the safety of people during fires, enabling controlled evacuation and rescue actions.

ACOUSTIC ISOLATION
Acoustic insulation, in the context of doors, refers to the ability of these doors to effectively limit the transmission of sounds from one room to another. It is an important feature that allows for the reduction of noise levels and external sounds, contributing to improving acoustic comfort inside the building.
Acoustic insulated doors are designed and manufactured to minimize sound transmission through effective soundproofing and sealing. Key elements of these doors include the appropriate materials used in their production and special technologies that minimize resonance and dampen sound conduction.
Similar to fire resistance and smoke control, acoustic insulated doors undergo tests that assess their ability to reduce noise. Acoustic insulation of doors is typically determined using dB (decibel) values, which indicate the level of sound reduction. The higher the dB value, the more soundproof the doors are.
Designations of acoustic insulation for doors can be found in the form of classifications, such as “Rw 32 dB” or “Rw 40 dB”. The abbreviation “Rw” refers to the sound reduction index, and the number expressed in dB indicates the achieved level of sound reduction.
Acoustic insulated doors are used in various types of buildings and rooms, such as offices, apartments, conference rooms, hotels, and recording studios. Effective acoustic insulation helps to reduce disturbances related to external sounds, providing more conducive conditions for work, learning, or relaxation.
In summary, acoustic insulation of doors refers to the ability of these doors to effectively limit the transmission of sounds from one room to another. Special materials and technologies used in the production of acoustic insulatied doors allow for minimizing resonance and sound conduction, contributing to increasing the acoustic comfort inside the building.

Unavoidable wear in the course of use of any door. Doors are every day exposed to multiple rubbing and/or small collisions exerted by persons who, while passing through, have often their hands occupied with carried documents or personal belongings which prevent or make difficult the proper handling of doors. The door leaf surface has to resist the games of children, also home pets often do not spare doors when expecting the arrival of household members.
