If specified as 30 or 60 minute fire rated doors they still have a wood based flammable composition and only provide a partial time delay in a spread of fire ."
"To enhance their fire-stopping abilities, fire doors are flush with the frame; any gaps are filled with silicone-based fire-resistant sealant. These are often accompanied by an intumescent strip attached at the base of the door, which expands when exposed to heat to prevent smoke from seeping underneath."

Answered on 15th Jul 2022 - Member since Feb 2018 - report"Hi carol
It’s not really fire resistant as such,it will still catch fire and burn, but will take longer to get though to the next room, normal standard doors are made of honeycone cardboard type stuff so will take 1 minute to get though, that’s why you have 30 minutes and 60 minutes fire doors it’s the inside core of the door what makes the difference
Hope this info helps"
