Fire-resistant doors are an essential part of every escape route. They ensure that fire and smoke spread more slowly between compartments, giving people fleeing a safe route for longer.
We supply and install fire-resistant doors and frames with self-closing mechanisms and smoke seals, custom-made for new construction or as replacements for existing doors.
What you can expect
- Fire resistance up to 60 minutes, with or without smoke resistance
- Self-closing mechanisms in accordance with escape route requirements
- Tailored for existing and new frames
- Various finishes to match the appearance of your building
Applications
Standards & certification
- NEN-EN 1634 - fire resistance of doors and hatches
- NEN 6069 - WBDBO determination
Our team works VCA-certified and our organization is ISO 9001 and Kiwa (K21050) certified.
More about our certificationsWhat do fire-resistant doors cost?
The cost of a fire-resistant door depends on the size, the classification (30 or 60 minutes, with or without smoke resistance), the hardware, the finish, and whether the frame is replaced or reused. Standard interior doors are more affordable than wide or double doors and glass doors. Adjusting or refurbishing existing doors is often a fraction of the replacement price.
Common mistakes
- Adjusting the closer so the door no longer latches fully shut; a fire door that doesn't close properly doesn't work.
- Using gap retainers or wedges that keep the door permanently open.
- Installing grilles or cat flaps in a fire door yourself, which voids the classification.

Questions about fire-resistant doors
For most escape routes, yes: alongside fire resistance, smoke resistance (Sm) is also required, because smoke poses the greatest danger to people escaping. This is assessed per situation.
Only if the frame itself also meets the requirements or can be made suitable. This is assessed during the inspection.
