Elevator and fire-rated doors

Fire protection that fits inside the door.

Elevator landing doors must balance fire resistance with leaf depth and moving mass. Siltherm Panel FP is configured for these restricted assemblies.

Thin door-core protection
01

Keep the door slim

Add thermal resistance within restricted leaf and frame cavities.

02

Limit added mass

Use a lightweight microporous panel in weight-sensitive moving assemblies.

03

Match the tested assembly

Keep panel grade, joints, fixings and door construction connected to the applicable evidence.

Door positions

Protection across the leaf, frame and critical interfaces.

The insulation is selected as part of the rated door construction.

01 / Landing door

Elevator door leaves

Thin panels fit into limited leaf cavities while supporting a lightweight door construction.

02 / Access door

Public-building and service doors

Configured panels support defined fire-rated door assemblies and protected access points.

03 / Tested assembly

Frames, joints and hardware zones

Panel layout, seams, fixings and clearances are coordinated with the applicable door construction and test evidence.

Door-leaf integration

Thin protection, built into the door leaf.

Panel FP is configured around the available cavity, hardware and fixing zones.

Matched Siltherm formats

Panel configuration and assembly evidence considered together.

Siltherm configures panel dimensions and coverings for the intended door construction.

Designed around the assembly

Door geometry and rating requirements shape the panel configuration.

Share the door construction and rating target so Siltherm can identify the relevant Panel FP route.
