Discover AAC: a new material for fire-rated doors

Fire and explosion prevention measures have long been no longer a strange issue when constructing today's construction projects. And if you want to achieve effective fire protection, investing in construction materials such as insulated walls or partitions and fire-rated doors is essential.

Compared to other types of doors made from other traditional materials, panel doors with fire protection layers, especially with aerated concrete panels, are considered to have the best ability to protect buildings from fire spread. Currently, the product is popular with many people and widely used in combination.

Fire-rated panel doors are often produced by layers of materials with good sound insulation and high thermal insulation covered by a color-coated layer with good thermal insulation and rust resistance, helping to save time and construction costs as well as saving electricity costs for air conditioning.

1. Fire-rated panel door

Fire-rated panel doors are made from paired panels, both sides are galvanized, powder-coated corrugated iron, in the middle is a layer of high-quality, light-weight, sound-insulating, and heat-insulating material, usually EPS or PU, but now the door can use a layer of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) material to increase its ability to withstand up to more than 4 hours.

This type of industrial door is produced by modern technology, customized in terms of size and proportion to meet all customer needs.

To authenticate the fire resistance of components such as aluminum profile frames, fireproof panels and doors made from high-strength hard aluminum, fireproof glass panels must be certified by a fire and explosion prevention appraisal agency before they can pass.

The components in the fireproof panel door include grooves to install rubber gaskets and come with a number of synchronized accessories such as locks, hydraulic systems, fire escape bars... The above structural features have helped the fireproof panel door become an extremely effective shield against the spread of fire for construction projects.

In addition, fire-rated panel doors are very aesthetic and suitable for many architectures, suitable for use with all different projects, especially projects such as clean rooms, electronics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, operating rooms, food factories...

2. Types of fire-rated panel doors:

2.1. Fire-rated panel door with hinges:

Fire-rated panel doors with hinges can open inward or outward. Using this type of door is extremely familiar and easy.

Structure of fire-rated panel doors with hinges: the core usually uses two layers of EPS or PU panels with a thickness of 50mm ~ 100mmm or an autoclaved aerated concrete panel. The handle is surrounded by aluminum combined with a lock and a pneumatic push handle, ensuring high durability, strength, sturdiness and beauty for your project.

Fire-rated panel doors with hinges are usually made in two main forms: 2-panel hinged doors and 1-panel hinged doors. panel doors with hinges are widely used in various types of buildings such as: food factories, healthcare...

2.2. Sliding fireproof panel door:

Fire-rated panel doors with sliding design are a type of door based on horizontal push and pull openings, making it easy to open and close the door. The door will usually be pushed and slid on a fixed horizontal bar.

The structural feature of the sliding fire-rated panel door is still the core with 2 layers of EPS, PU or autoclaved aerated concrete panels and has a weight of about 120kg on one side and a sliding door opening width of 900mm.

Sliding fire-rated panel doors are designed with 2 main usage methods: sliding door type (using force) and automatic sliding door type (with additional motor and control board). Included accessories include: a set of accessories to keep the door straight, a stabilizer to help the door operate durably, a specialized door hanging bracket set, two wheels and a stopper and door stopper.

This type of sliding fireproof panel door is very suitable for use in projects with medium or small areas because opening and closing requires less effort and provides the most usable space compared to other types of doors with other designs.

3. Fireproof materials from the future:

3.1 New superior fire-resistant AAC material:

Autoclaved aerated concrete structure, also known as AAC, provides effective fireproof insulation and is extremely sturdy, helping the building to withstand the most ferocious fires. It promises to be a new material for fire-rated doors.

Thanks to being made from inert materials such as Cement, yellow sand, gypsum mixed with lime, it is very effective in fire resistance, and depending on product quality, with equivalent fire resistance. panel doors are equipped with a core material of autoclaved aerated concrete that can resist fire for up to 4 hours, helping the door and walls become extremely effective fire shields for the whole project.

3.2 Advantages AAC materials for fire doors:

3.2.1 Diverse sizes

Size customization is a bright spot for AAC panels. AAC panels are easy to measure and cut accurately, helping engineers easily choose the appropriate size for their fire doors.

3.2.2 Light weight

The doors use a core of fireproof AAC panels that are moderate in weight, easy to construct and easy to transport in construction projects.

3.2.3 Extremely high durability

The materials that make up the fireproof panel partition have high durability and good performance, ensuring door quality and long-term operation. This has been proven in fire resistance tests, the AAC material layer far exceeds the normal fire resistance of up to 4 hours.

Besides, in addition to effective fire resistance, the panel door is suitable for fire-resistant AAC material and also has extremely high sound insulation ability. And in harsh weather, the door still operates well and achieves the highest efficiency.

Thanks to that, you will have less maintenance and save additional investment costs.

4. Applications of AAC fire-rated panel doors:

With optimal fire resistance, effective heat and sound insulation, simple and easy-to-use design, AAC materials Fire-rated panel will definitely be a new material for fire-rated doors and is the most optimal material for your project.

Fire-rated panel doors using AAC (new material for fire-rated doors) are very simple, easy to use and above all ensure safety for everyone when using the building, so they are widely used from residential houses to public buildings such as schools, hospitals, supermarkets... or clean room projects, cold storage...

Above is information about the information, advantages and outstanding applications of fire-rated panel doors. HASS hopes that you will find materials that ensure safety for doors in effective fire protection.
