30" x 48" Fire Rated Floor Door - Aluminum - Bilco

FR 30" x 48" Fire Rated Floor Door – Aluminum – Bilco  

Bilco's FR Fire-Rated Floor Door – Aluminum must install floor access panels to help prevent the spread of fire and limit the property and structural damages to the building. Most construction professionals prefer installing fire-rated floor doors to protect important documents, units, and systems, such as plumbing and ducts, from fire for up to 2 hours. 

Why Install FR? 

Compliance: Bilco's FR floor door complies with and meets fire-rated codes and standards, which include NFPA 251 and NFPA 288. Additionally, the floor door follows ASTM E119 and BS476: Part 22 requirements to ensure building occupants and fire rescue teams can safely and securely use the floor panel during fire accidents.  

Fire Protection: The fire-rated floor hatch serves as a barrier that can efficiently contain and prevent the spread of fire and smoke for a specific period, allowing the occupants to secure necessary materials and files. It will also provide the rescue team with enough time to save the occupants inside the building.  

Safe Access: The floor door promotes safety and security, especially during a fire. The company equipped the FR model with sturdy materials, a durable structural design, and a non-slip surface to avoid any slip and fall accidents during a fire.
