Fire Rated Interconnecting Doors
Pacific Door Systems Limited offers a range of Interconnecting Acoustic door sets which also comply with NZS 4520 Fire-resistant door sets, as referenced in the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC Appendix C 6.1.1).
These fire rated interconnecting door sets consist of two sets of flush panel hinged door leaves hung in either a common or separate frame with an airspace in between.
- STC rating up to 59
- Fire Rating up to-/60/30sm
The door set includes frame-mounted perimeter seals and a drop seal at the sill. The drop seal has to engage on a hard, flat surface to achieve the listed STC ratings (not carpet).
The thickness and weight of these door sets varies depending on the configuration.
