Types of Wooden Fire Doors
There are many things to consider when buying a wooden fire door. You’ll need to know whether it’s Class EI or Class II, whether it’s 55 mm thick, and whether it has a mineral core or solid wood core. These are all important details, and North Central Supply can help you find the right type of door for your needs.
Class EI
Class EI wooden fire doors provide the best level of protection against fire. They are manufactured using special door panels and hardware that help prevent sound transmission. These doors can be made in any colour and have a variety of surface finishes. Some doors are melamine-coated while others have HPL laminates.
55 mm thick
Wooden fire doors, also known as Ben Fa Ming Wai, are designed to be resistant to fire. They are made of several layers – a fire-resistant layer 5, a surface layer 6, and a core material. Each of these layers is made of a different material, and is layered one on top of the other. This combination of layers offers a combination of fire resistance, wood quality, and a relatively low weight.
Solid wood
A solid wood fire door is an excellent option if you want to add a touch of security to your house, as well as allowing occupants to escape during a fire. Solid wood fire doors are usually made of solid timber, with the glazing protected by fire-resistant glass. These doors are designed to withstand a fire for up to 60 minutes. They can also be custom-made to fit any size opening.
Mineral core

These types of doors are required in certain areas of public buildings and require a certain fire rating. The rating is typically 20, 45, or 90 minutes. ThereĀ wooden fire doors are many different types of wood doors with this rating. They have been tested by Underwriters Laboratories to determine their safety.
Mute design
