Currently, many places choose fire retardant doors for decoration because they are safe and practical. However, the selection of fire retardant doors also requires attention. So, what should be considered when choosing fire retardant doors?

Check the appearance

A high-quality fire retardant door should have firm and evenly distributed welds. The surface should be sprayed smoothly. There should be product labels, quality inspection qualification marks, and quality certification marks in designated locations. A qualified wooden fire retardant door should have an intact appearance without any damage. The surface should be clean and free of planing marks, burrs, and hammer marks. The corners and seams should be tightly and smoothly joined.

The thickness of the door leaf should be equal to or greater than the thickness described in the sample description. The width of the side walls of the door frame should be equal to or greater than the width described in the sample description. The dimensions of the fire-resistant glass should be equal to or smaller than the dimensions described in the sample description, and the thickness of the fire-resistant glass should be equal to or greater than the thickness described in the sample description.

Check the seals

Qualified steel and wooden fire retardant doors should be equipped with fire-resistant seals. The seals should be straight and not arched, and there should be a qualified test report issued by a national-level testing organization.

Estimate the weight

High-quality fire retardant doors are generally heavier, while those that are very light are definitely inferior in quality.

Check the certificates

Fire doors, including 6 panel interior fire doors, are products that are covered by the type approval system. The products need to undergo type approval testing before they are sold. Generally, the type approval report describes the specifications, dimensions, composition, materials, and photos of the sample in detail. When purchasing, you should request the type approval report from the manufacturer.
