Description
A fireproof door is a specialized safety feature designed to resist fire, heat, and smoke, ensuring protection during emergencies. Fireproof doors are constructed using fire-resistant materials, including steel, wood, or gypsum, and are designed to delay the spread of fire, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely. They are a critical component of fire safety systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings
