Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Class E fire door?
A Class E fire door provides 30 minutes of fire resistance. In South Africa, Class E fire doors are classified to SANS 1253 and tested to SANS 10177-2. This assembly achieved R30/E30/I30 — 30 minutes of structural stability, flame integrity, and thermal insulation.
- What does R30/E30/I30 mean?
These are the three fire resistance criteria: Stability (R) – the door remains structurally intact for 30 minutes; Integrity (E) – no flames or hot gases pass through for 30 minutes; Insulation (I) – the unexposed face temperature remains within limits for 30 minutes.
- Where are Class E fire doors required?
Class E fire doors are typically required for internal room doors in residential buildings, apartments, and commercial interiors where a 30-minute fire separation is specified. Requirements are governed by SANS 10400-T and your project’s fire strategy.

No. The MDF shaker profile is applied to the completed fire door, and construction remains consistent with the manufacturer's standard 30-minute fire door design, so the shaker detailing does not compromise fire performance.
