Fire Rated Frames and Systems

UK fire door frames generally need to form part of a tested or assessed doorset and comply with the requirements applicable to the project, including relevant building regulations and standards. The required rating, hardware, glazing, installation, and evidence depend on the application. Custom Metal Products provides UL-labeled products, so UK projects should confirm acceptance with the designer, specifier, and authority having jurisdiction.

A fire rated frame is part of a tested and labelled opening assembly designed to resist fire exposure for its designated rating. Performance depends on the frame, door, hardware, glazing where applicable, and installation conditions working together. Custom Metal Products offers UL-labeled hollow metal doors and frames for commercial fire-rated and life-safety applications, with standard and custom profiles available.

Yes. The product range includes hollow metal doors and frames for commercial building fire safety egress, fire-rated doorways, and double egress applications. Available configurations include welded and cut-and-notch frames, standard and custom profiles, and engineered openings with sidelites or transoms. Project specifications should identify the required listing, hardware, glazing, and installation details before ordering.

Available configurations include welded frames, cut-and-notch or KD frames, kerfed frames, pocket door frames, double egress frames, sidelites, transoms, borrowed light frames, and three-sided assemblies. Custom profiles can include arched, radius, and segmented designs. Glazed or paneled engineered openings are also available, allowing the frame system to align with commercial and institutional opening requirements.

The product range includes applications for hospital and healthcare facilities, including fire-rated openings and lead-lined frame applications for radiation-shielding requirements. Sidelite, transom, glazed, paneled, and custom profile options can support different opening layouts. Healthcare projects should confirm the required fire-rating documentation, radiation-shielding specification, glazing, hardware, and installation requirements during design.

Provide the opening type, frame assembly method, profile, gauge requirement, door and hardware details, glazing or panel requirements, and any fire-rating or radiation-shielding documentation needed. Also identify special configurations such as double egress, sidelites, transoms, pocket doors, or three-sided assemblies. The sales and engineering teams can review project information and help align the configuration with the specified application.
