Fire Rated Steel Doors vs Wooden Fire Rated Doors – Which Is Better for Commercial Safety Projects?

Fire protection is a critical priority in commercial and residential construction. Whether you are building schools, hospitals, high-rise apartments, retail centers, or industrial facilities, fire rated doors are a mandatory life-safety requirement. These doors are designed to prevent the spread of smoke, flames, and heat, providing valuable time for safe evacuation and protecting property during a fire emergency.

At KDSBuilding, we manufacture steel fire rated doors, wooden fire rated doors, and fire-rated glass doors that comply with UL fire rating standards, Chinese standard GB 12955-2008, and EN 1634-1 European fire test standards. We supply fire door systems worldwide, offering both 90-minute and 120-minute fire rating options, customizable designs, and certified quality for project compliance.


What Are Fire Rated Doors?

Fire rated doors are specially engineered door systems designed to resist fire for a specific period of time (20, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes). These doors form part of passive fire protection in a building and are commonly installed in:

Emergency exits

Stairwell entrances

Corridor fire separation points

Mechanical and electrical rooms

Underground parking access

Hotel and apartment fire corridors

Warehouse compartment doorways

Fire rated doors must be installed correctly with fire rated frames, intumescent seals, smoke seals, fireproof glass (optional), steel hinges, closers, and panic hardware.
