[Construction Section 25]

The Windows

Some fire doors are equipped with internal windows, which must, likewise, have a rating or have been incorporated at the time of the door test and be subject to product certification. Fire-resistive windows may include wire mesh glass, silicate liquid fills between two window panes, glass ceramic, glass borosilicate glass to perform well under conditions of fire doors to provide impact resistance. Wired glass typically withstands the fire, whereas the liquid sodium silicate also acts to insulate heat transfer, endothermic due to the action of this chemical.

The Regulations
All components are required by law to adhere to requirements in bounding product certification that is acceptable to the local jurisdiction by meeting the requirements of the local building code and fire code.

The Combustibility

Fire doors are not necessarily all noncombustible. A fire door is but one of many passive fire protection components used to compartmentalize fire and thus keep it in the compartment of origin, so either it runs out of fuel or it is extinguished, or, at the very least, enough time has been bought to enable evacuation of the building.

Fire doors are routinely defeated by unwise actions and apathy on the part of their users, many of whom paint or over and ignore the product certification markings that are prominently displayed both on the door and leaves all the fire door frames, by blocking them open and even carpets running through them. Such extreme neglect is the legal responsibility of the building owner, who must educate occupants on the safe use of all safety-related items, to ensure compliance with the fire code.

Sometimes fire doors have apparently very large gaps at the foot of them, an inch or two even, allowing air movement, especially in dormitory facilities. This can lead the occupants of a building to question their status as real fire doors. Presumably this does not allow fire to spread significantly.

Responsibility

In building design drawings with poor identification of walls which do in fact have a fire-resistance rating, it is often necessary to check the schedule in the door specifications to be able to trace what walls are rated and how long they are rated for. This is an indicative sign about the architect and the degree of care taken particularly with items relating to passive fire protection. To avoid any confusion about fire protection measures including fire doors, it is best for the architect to provide a separate set of drawings that clearly outlines which walls and floor have a fire-resistance rating and exactly what that rating is. It is also important to point out especially walls which are firewalls and which walls and floors or are designated as occupancy separations, as the nature of passive fire protection devices that must be used in those special cases can be substantially different from such devices that are used in ordinary fire separations.
