2. How to Identify a Fire-rated Door in Australia
A classic fire rated door is made up of some key elements
such as frame, gasketing, fixings, hardware, molding, fire
resistant sealant and glass. Lacking these elements and
hardware, the door can fall behind at the time of
emergency situation. With the help of these useful door
systems, it becomes easy for both commercial and
residential buildings to stop fire and poisonous smoke. If
we see it closely, fire rated doors don’t have differences
in appearance compared to general doors. The doors
appear somewhat similar to the other passive fire
protection system. There is a range of such protection
systems, which all are largely installed in buildings so as
to ensure all-round security and safety against possible
fire accidents.

3. Frame and Edge Construction
When it comes to a fire resistant
door, frame and edge
construction make a great
difference. Some industry
experts believe that the frame
of a door is the most important
part that can consist of fire-
rated glass as well so as to
enhance the security values.
Sliding fire rated doors
(http://www.australianfirecontrol.
com.au/#!sliding-fire-doors/cosl)
do have ideal frames, together
with enduring edging
construction.

4. Glass Edge Clearance
If you are planning to install
glass in your door, you need to
check if the clearance for
updraft extension of the glass
installed in a door is required.
If you find the fire-rated glass
(http://www.australianfirecontr
ol.com.au/#!fire-rated-
windows/cznd) is being fixed
with no edge clearance, to see
fire rated glass being installed
with no edge clearance, then
something is incorrect with the
door construction.
