Fire Rated Doors in Ottawa
At Ottawa Fire Safety, we understand that protecting lives and property starts with strong fire prevention measures. Fire rated doors are a critical component in any building’s passive fire protection system—designed to slow the spread of flames and smoke, allowing occupants more time to evacuate safely and helping firefighters control the situation.
Whether in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, our certified fire rated doors meet stringent safety standards while offering durability and peace of mind. Discover how our solutions can help keep your building code-compliant and your people safe.
