🔥 What Is a Fire-Rated Door Frame?

A fire-rated door frame is a specially designed metal frame that can withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire and smoke for a specified period—typically 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. It forms a crucial part of a passive fire protection system, helping compartmentalise the building and protect lives and assets during emergencies.

These frames are usually installed with fire-rated doors, and together they are tested and certified to resist fire based on national and international standards.

🔑 Key Features of Chaukhat Wala’s Fire-Rated Frames

1. Fire Resistance Up to 2 Hours

Our frames are built using specially selected steel grades and construction methods that offer up to 120 minutes of fire resistance, meeting IS and international testing standards.

2. Rust-Resistant Innovation

All frames are hot-dip galvanized or zinc-coated, offering long-term protection against corrosion—even in coastal or high-humidity zones.

3. Intumescent Seal Compatibility

We provide provisions for intumescent seals—these expand in heat to seal gaps, preventing smoke and flame spread through the door perimeter.

4. Reinforced for Heavy Doors

Designed to handle heavy-duty doors used in fire zones, exit corridors, basements, hospitals, and commercial buildings.

5. Factory-Finished

Delivered pre-fabricated and pre-finished, reducing site work and installation time, while improving finish quality and dimensional accuracy.
