Rapid Steel Doors can withstand a heat of up to 890 degree celcius and has tested to have passed the two hours fire resistant test. While on the other hand, a wooden doors can easily burn because it serves as fuel to the fire.

2) Sound and Heat Insulation

Rapid Steel Doors uses Paper Honeycomb, a building material known to be of high oxygen index (OI) and a low smoke density (SD), two indexes required for a fire retardant product. Thus, paper honeycomb provides favorable sound absorption and heat insulation value.

3) Moisture Resistant

Steel is ideal for unprotected exposure to sun and moisture, while wood tend to expand due to excessive humidity or moisture.

* replacement of rotted or broken sections with epoxy filler
* filling of gouges with wood putty
