Fire doors are specifically designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke within a building. Their primary function is to compartmentalise areas and create a barrier that limits the spread of flames and dangerous gases during a fire.
By serving as fire breaks and barriers, fire-rated doors allow time for the occupants to leave the premises by evacuation routes. A blaze contained behind an internal fire door poses less of a risk to lives and assets and is more easily extinguished.
