Fire-Rated Steel Doors: A Critical Component in Building Safety

At Icon Loft Steel Doors, we are proud to offer fire-rated steel doors, crafted with advanced European profile systems that meet the stringent standards required for fire protection in the UK market. Fire doors are essential in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, securing escape routes, and ultimately saving lives during emergencies. We fabricate our fire-rated doors using two leading profile systems, including the highly regarded Jansen Economy 50 system, ensuring both safety and aesthetic appeal.

Jansen Economy 50: A Versatile System for Fire and Smoke Protection

One of our primary systems for the UK market is the Jansen Economy 50. This system is designed for both fire doors and fire-resistant partitions, offering protection levels up to E30/EW30/E60/EW60 and even as high as E120 for partition walls. The Economy 50 system uses slim profiles with a depth of just 50mm, giving these doors an elegant appearance while maintaining critical safety features.

Key Features of the Jansen Economy 50 System:

Fire Resistance Classes: E30, EW30, E60, EW60 for doors, and up to E120 for fixed partitions. Tested to meet EN 1634-1 standards.
Durable Materials: Made from uncoated or strip-galvanized steel, ready for powder coating or stove enameling. Stainless steel versions are also available in polished or uncoated finishes.
Various Applications: The system supports single and double doors, with or without side panels or transom windows, as well as fire-resistant partition walls.
Special Equipment: Includes integrated door closers, multipoint locks (with motorized options), panic push-bars, and designer glazing beads.
Versatile Glazing Options: Doors can be fitted with either dry glazing or glazing with putty, offering central glazed panels that blend seamlessly with solid or lightweight walls.

Importance of Fire-Rated Steel Doors

Fire-rated steel doors play a crucial role in any building’s fire safety plan. Whether for residential, commercial, or public buildings, these doors help to compartmentalize fire and delay the spread of flames and smoke. In the event of an emergency, fire doors can buy occupants valuable time to safely exit a building.

The insulating properties of steel fire doors ensure that heat does not easily transfer to the opposite side of the door, keeping escape routes like stairwells and corridors safe for longer. With a wide range of fire resistance classes, our doors can be tailored to meet the specific safety requirements of each project.

Certification and Compliance

All our fire-rated steel doors are rigorously tested and certified to meet or exceed international standards for fire and smoke protection. The Jansen Economy 50 system has been certified to the following standards:

EN 1634-1 for fire resistance up to E120.
DIN 18095 and EN 1634-3 for smoke control.
EN 1191 for durability (C5 classification).
EN 1125 / EN 179 for emergency exit doors.

These certifications provide peace of mind to architects, builders, and end-users, knowing that our doors meet the highest safety standards.

Aesthetic and Functional Benefits of Jansen Economy 50

One of the standout features of the Jansen Economy 50 system is its narrow profile face widths, which allow for aesthetically pleasing, transparent building components without compromising safety. This means architects and designers can create open, modern spaces while still meeting fire safety regulations.

The profiles are designed for flush-fitted doors with continuous shadow joints, both inside and out, giving them a sleek, modern look. The low flammability double rebate gasket adds another layer of fire resistance, providing a secure barrier in case of fire.

Tailored Fire Safety Solutions for Every Project

At Icon Loft Steel Doors, we understand that every project has unique fire safety requirements. The Jansen Economy 50 system offers flexible solutions for both doors and partitions, whether used for fire protection, smoke control, or a combination of both. This flexibility allows us to create custom fire-rated doors that not only meet safety regulations but also enhance the overall design of a building.

By combining fire doors with different glazing options and accessories, we offer holistic and economical system solutions that align with your protection objectives.
