Alux fire-resistant steel doors are currently widely used in construction projects such as residential buildings and office buildings. However, there are still many doubts: can Alux fire-resistant steel doors withstand fire?
Join us in exploring Alux fire-resistant steel doors in the following article.
What is a fire-resistant steel door?
Firstly, it is essential to understand that a fire-resistant steel door is designed to withstand the impact of fire for a specified period. This ensures that, in the event of a fire, the door will prevent and limit the spread of flames. To meet fire resistance standards, fire-resistant steel doors must be manufactured using materials and technologies that meet the required standards
About materials: The main material of fire-resistant steel doors is typically steel, with varying thickness and structures to meet different safety standards. Additionally, these products are equipped with safety features such as anti-theft locks, fire bolts, smoke seals, and alarm devices to alert users in case of fire hazards.
Some fire-resistant steel door products on the market may not meet the necessary safety standards due to the use of low-quality materials or improper manufacturing processes. This can pose risks to users in the event of a fire. Therefore, when choosing fire-resistant steel doors, users should opt for products with quality certifications to ensure safety.
Construction of Alux Fire-Resistant Steel Doors
Alux fire-resistant steel doors are constructed from various components, including:
- The door frame is made of electro-galvanized steel with a thickness of 1.2 – 2.0 mm.
- The two outer layers are composed of electro-galvanized steel sheets with a thickness of 0.8 – 1.2 mm.
- In the middle of the door, there is a core system that serves both fire resistance and soundproofing and thermal insulation.
- The fire-resistant gasket system has the ability to prevent smoke.
- The hydraulic arm ensures that the door remains closed, ensuring safety during evacuation.
- Accessories are synchronized with the product, fitting the fire-resistant features of the product.
Not only is Alux fire-resistant steel door manufactured from standard fire-resistant materials, but before entering the market, it also undergoes testing to evaluate its fire resistance before being certified by the Fire Prevention and Fighting Police Department (Cục PCCC) to meet the prevailing standards.
Why is Alux fire-resistant steel door fire-resistant?
True to its name, the primary and most important function of Alux fire-resistant steel doors is their fire resistance. The door frame is constructed from electro-galvanized steel sheets with a thickness of 1.2 – 2.0 mm, coated with electrostatic paint. The door leaf (the most crucial part) is composed of three layers, with the two outer layers made of steel sheets with a thickness of 0.8 – 1.2 mm. In between the two door leaves is the fire-resistant core system designed to enhance soundproofing, thermal insulation, and fire resistance. Therefore, Alux fire-resistant steel doors have a high fire resistance, passing tests for burning duration ranging from 60 to 120 minutes (depending on the design and purpose of use).
In addition, the use of high-quality accompanying accessories such as emergency bars and hydraulic door closers ensures that Alux fire-resistant steel doors remain tightly closed. This prevents the fire from spreading to surrounding areas, making it convenient for controlling and extinguishing the fire quickly.
By meeting production standards, passing rigorous tests, and obtaining certification from relevant state agencies, Alux fire-resistant steel doors are considered safe products suitable for use in various construction projects, including residential buildings, office buildings, industrial zones, warehouses, ports, airports, hospitals, schools, and other critical infrastructure.
