Description

Fire-rated sliding cold room door for cold rooms with compartmentation requirements

The fire-rated sliding cold room door combines the thermal insulation of a cold room door with the regulatory fire resistance required in installations that must meet fire compartmentation requirements. It is the solution for cold rooms located in fire sectors where regulations require fire doors, without giving up refrigeration performance.

Technical specifications

  • Type: fire-rated sliding cold room door (EI 30 / EI 60 / EI 90 depending on model)
  • Sandwich panel with non-combustible core (rock wool or other A2 insulation)
  • Fire-resistant steel frames and hardware
  • Automatic closing on fire alarm (connected to the building’s fire protection system)
  • Intumescent seal that closes the opening when heated in a fire
  • Fire test certificate according to EN 1634
  • CE marking as a compartmentation element

Advantages

✔ One door, two functions: cold room insulation and fire compartmentation
✔ Automatic closing on fire signal integrated with the detection system
✔ EI fire resistance certificate with verified time and classification
✔ Lower installation cost than fitting two separate doors
✔ Meets both the Spanish CTE DB SI and refrigeration requirements

Applications

Cold rooms in buildings where fire compartmentation is required by the Spanish CTE DB SI; cold stores in shopping centres and logistics platforms; cold rooms in industrial buildings with fire sectors; refrigeration installations where the fire safety inspector requires an EI door.

Standards and compliance

Fire door with CE marking in accordance with EN 16034 (doors, windows and shutters with fire resistance properties). Fire resistance classified according to EN 13501-2. Complies with the Spanish Technical Building Code, Basic Document SI (Fire Safety). Automatic closing complies with EN 1154.

FAQs

What does EI 60 mean on a fire door?

EI 60 means the door has a fire resistance of 60 minutes according to the European classification: E = integrity against the passage of flames and hot gases; I = insulation (the unexposed face does not exceed a certain temperature). An EI 60 door guarantees 60 minutes of compartmentation in a fire, enough time for evacuation in most buildings.

Can the fire-rated cold room door be installed as a sliding door?

Yes. Sliding fire doors are a type recognised by the regulations, provided they have an automatic fire closing system (usually an electromagnet that releases the door when power is cut in an alarm, allowing it to close by gravity or spring). This system must be certified and connected to the building’s detection system.
