Rocklite® Sliding Fire Doors
ROCKLITE® Class B single and double fire doors are manufactured to SANS 1253:2003 (edition 3) and stringently tested by the SABS over the years with a proven fire protection rate of two and a half hours. Our ROCKLITE® sliding fire doors are also manufactured according to SANS 1253:2003 (edition 3) and have many other advantages over traditional fire doors.
*ROCKLITE® sliding fire doors are lightweight. Putting less strain on the sliding gear and therefore lasting longer. They are manufactured in a wide range of sizes and veneers to match existing surfaces.
*Constructed with an inner monolithic, asbestos-free, fire resistant core, ROCKLITE® sliding fire doors have reinforced steel inserts strategically located within the core material to strengthen hinging and hydraulic closure attachment.
