In recent years, fire doors have undergone significant developments. Because of the stricter fire safety regulations, fire doors need to be used more and more often. Quite often, regulations and the daily use of doors can be contradictory. This is why Protec Industrial Doors has developed a new type of fire-resistant overhead door, which hardly has any usage limitations, but does comply with the latest standards and regulations.

Fire-resistant overhead doors function in the same way as standard overhead doors, both when used in fire-retarding walls and in outer walls. As a result, you are not limited in your business process, but you will comply with the requirements set.

We developed a unique fire-resistant door and tested it at TNO/Efectis/Peutz  in accordance with NEN-EN 1634-1:2008 certification as classification NEN-EN 13501-2. The door has also been granted classification EI₁. Due to its EI₁ certification, this type of overhead door is suitable for both the Dutch and the international market. At Warrington in Ghent, the fire-resistant overhead door also underwent an endurance test in accordance with EN1191:2000 and 14600:2000, 5500 times open and shut.

Most important features of the fire-resistant overhead door:

• The revolutionary structure and production process make this fire-resistant overhead door highly interesting in terms of price
• Tested according to the latest European standards
• Can be used in explosion-proof areas (ATEX 137)
• Integrated liquid-retention barrier possible up to a height of 1000 mm
• Can be used normally, hardly any usage limitations
• Certified for use in large sizes

The fire-resistant overhead door is highly suitable for use in, ATEX 137 and/or areas where strict requirements are set for high fluid controllability. The explosion-proof doors can even be used in areas where the strictest requirements are set for explosion safety by the EI60 classification. Not only does the door have a fire resistance of sixty minutes, it can also be designed with an integrated liquid-retention barrier. As of 1 January 2009, new requirements have been in place for doors in these areas. The doors must comply with the EI₁ standard. Our fire-resistant overhead door complies with this standard and meets the highest thermal insulation requirement, which is the EI₁ requirement.

It is also possible to use the fire-resistant doors in situations where a sound requirement also applies. These 2 requirements can be combined in a single door up to 56 dB. Despite its special properties, the fire-resistant and sound-insulating overhead door hardly has any usage limitations.

The fire doors of Protec Industrial Doors can be driven in various ways:

• Electrically
• Electrohydraulically
• Power-cut function. Whenever there is no emergency power facility, we can modify our drive so that the fire-resistant overhead door also closes in the event of a fire alarm if the power has been cut.

In order to serve you as an overall supplier, the range of Protec Industrial Doors also includes fire-resistant cloths, roller shutters and sliding doors with fire-retardant properties up to 250 minutes.

Whenever a fire-resistant overhead door cannot be used, it is naturally also possible to choose fire-resistant roller shutters, fire-resistant sliding doors or fire-resistant screens.
