Looking for fire doors for schools? THE INGRESS provides steel, wooden and fire-rated door solutions for schools and educational buildings based on project specifications.

Schools contain classrooms, laboratories, libraries, auditoriums, administrative areas, kitchens, electrical rooms, staircases and other spaces with different fire-safety considerations. Therefore, fire doors for schools should be selected according to the building's approved fire-safety design, applicable codes and the requirements of the relevant authority.

Why Are Fire Doors Important in Schools?

Educational buildings can have large numbers of students, teachers, staff and visitors present at the same time. During a fire emergency, an effective evacuation strategy depends on appropriate escape routes and fire-compartmentation measures.

A correctly specified fire door assembly can help:

• Restrict the spread of fire through protected openings
• Support compartmentation within the building
• Protect certain escape routes where required by the fire-safety design
• Separate higher-risk rooms from adjoining areas
• Help limit smoke movement when the tested door assembly includes the required smoke-control features
• Support the overall passive fire-protection strategy

A fire door should not be considered a standalone safety solution. Detection, alarms, emergency lighting, evacuation planning, extinguishing systems and other measures may also be required.

Fire Rated Doors for Schools

Fire doors are available in different fire-resistance ratings depending on the tested assembly and project requirements.

Commonly specified ratings can include:

30-Minute Fire Rated Doors – May be used where the approved design requires a 30-minute-rated assembly.

60-Minute Fire Rated Doors – Frequently considered for applications requiring a higher level of fire separation.

90-Minute Fire Rated Doors – Used where the project's fire strategy calls for a 90-minute-rated door assembly.

120-Minute Fire Rated Doors – May be specified for higher-risk areas or fire separations requiring a longer rating.

The required rating should be determined by the project's fire consultant, architect, applicable building/fire requirements and approved drawings. A higher rating is not automatically necessary or better for every school location.

Fire Doors with Vision Panels for Schools

Visibility can be useful in busy educational environments. Where required, a fire door may incorporate an appropriately specified fire-rated vision panel.

Vision panels can help users see activity on the opposite side of the door, but the glazing, framing system, dimensions and installation must be compatible with the tested or approved fire-door configuration.

Ordinary glass should not be substituted for specified fire-rated glazing in a fire-rated assembly.
