The number shows how many minutes a door keeps its integrity (E) and insulation (I) in a fire: EI 30 means 30 minutes, EI 60 means 60 minutes. Glazed and smoke-tight doors carry extra letters (for example S for smoke tightness).
We manufacture steel and timber fire doors rated EI 30 and EI 60, including acoustic versions.
Practical tips
- Confirm the required door rating in the design or with an engineer before ordering.
- A fire door must have a closer and shut by itself.
- Never prop fire doors open or remove their closers.
