Do you need a fire-rated commercial garage door for your business? It’s hard to decide until you know about these doors’ many benefits and features. Once you understand the positive impact of fire-rated commercial garage doors, you, as a business owner, will understand the importance of the safety and security of your commercial building. View the benefits of Fire-Rated Rolling Steel Doors s from Overhead Door™.
A Fire-Rated Rolling Steel Door can withstand exposure to fire for a certain period. Fire doors are made from heavy-duty material and are rated according to the length of time that they can withstand fire. These doors compartmentalize structures, giving firefighters and the building fire system time to put out the fire before it spreads. Fire-rated doors also give people time to exit the building while the fire remains contained.
Benefits of Fire-Rated Rolling Steel Doors
Extreme heat is no match for Overhead Door™ Fire Rated Commercial Garage Doors. These commercial Rolling steel doors can withstand exceptionally high temperatures caused by fires. Most entries will succumb to the fire and allow it to spread throughout the rest of the building. Fire-rated garage doors won’t combust from the intense pressure. They limit the spread of fire and give people more time to get to safety.
Benefits of Fire-Rated Rolling Steel Doors
The rating of a fire door refers to its ability to withstand combustion for a certain period. Made of heavy-duty galvanized or stainless steel, most fire doors are rated 20 to 90 minutes in average fire conditions. This makes them crucial to a property’s passive fire protection system.
Minimize Damage
Commercial fire-rated doors can contain the fire in the affected area and prevent it from spreading and causing damage to other sites. As a result, your business can recover quickly, not to mention lesser repair costs.
Protect Employees and Customers.
Fire doors allow people in your building to escape while fire stays contained inside your building. Using fire doors in your building helps prevent fatalities and injuries from fire and smoke inhalation.
Enhanced Security.
They are built with resilient materials, making them more durable and resistant to break-ins, so your property is protected from more than just fire.
Limit the Spread of Smoke and Toxic Gases
Though flames can pose severe threats to people, smoke and toxic gases released during a fire outbreak can be lethal. Fire-rated doors are designed to seal harmful gases and smoke in the affected area.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Commercial fire-safe garage doors can also help improve your building’s energy efficiency. Fire doors contain insulation materials that help keep the heat in during winter and out during summer, helping to save you money on your energy bills.
