Fire is an ever-present threat to both residential and commercial buildings, and while fireproof-materials are not a reality as of yet, there are fire-resistant building materials that can help builders create fire-safe structures. Materials like access doors and panels, as well as fire-rated insulation, can be effective in containing a fire eruption to the area of its origin. Similarly, fire rated floor joists and fire rated Joists act as barriers to protect from fire by creating structural integrity of the overall building.

But keeping wood away from highly combustible areas is still recommended in order to enhance the fire protection of the house or building. In any case, determining what fire rating your property needs depends on various factors like construction material and governing codes where you live in order to adequately safeguard against fire damage.

Not only do they help mitigate potential damages caused by fire, they are also designed to control the spread of fire and protect the building's system intumescent components. Exceptional fire-resistant coatings in a fire-rated attic access door not only provide extra security, but also enhances their durability.
