SLIDING FIRE DOORS

Sliding Fire Doors, rated to protect from fires for up to 4 hours, are manufactured by Metalbilt®  in New Zealand. E-Core® sliding fire doors are generally specified where the use of conventional side hung doors is impractical due to limited space, or where maximum opening sizes are required for the movement of plant or equipment. Metalbilt’s philosophy of continual product development has resulted in an extensive range of sliding door tests and approvals. Over the last 20 years of supply to New Zealand, Australian and overseas building industries, E-Core® Maxi fire doors have been recognised as a proven, reliable and quality product. Utilising an Australian-made nominal 38 mm thick solid monolithic E-Core®  board produced from natural materials (mineral fibre and asbestos free), the sliding fire door has achieved fire ratings up to 4 hours. As a result, this internal door construction gives the sliding fire door new slim line and lightweight qualities previously unavailable in similar door constructions. These doors are designed to operate freely on horizontal overhead-suspended track systems. To enable the sliding fire doors to automatically close in fire situations, the closing mechanism incorporates an electromagnetic hold open device. This device is activated by heat or smoke detectors connected to a fire alarm system to close the door. Fire resistance levels available are: - 1 hour (NA/60/30), - 2 hours (NA/120/30) - 3 hours (NA/180/30) - 4 hours (NA/240/30)
