Fire-rated wood door frames


Warm Springs Composite Products patented FRX series of fire-rated composite or wood door frames (FRX20, FRX45, FRX90 and FRX120) allow architects and contractors to comply with the strictest of fire ratings without compromising the aesthetic appeal of natural wood finishes. The frames’ unique design allows them to achieve fire ratings with both neutral and positive pressure testing. WSCP frames meet U.S. standards for 20-, 45-, 60- and 90-minute fire ratings with certification provided by Intertek Testing Service, UBC 7-2 (1997)/UL 10(c) (1998). Our products are also certified to meet British Standard 476, part 22, up to 120 minutes.

Fire-rated frames are available in an unlimited assortment of hardwood and softwood veneers, as well as paint grade and high pressure laminates to match the doors, wood casings, and trim throughout the interior space. The FRX series is also available in a limited number of solid hardwood species. The frames are available in single- or double-rabbet, for single or double openings, as well as communicator frames. Moisture resistant substrate is available on request and FRX frames can be shipped with matching trim package; call for details.

WSCP's frame design incorporates intumescent material built into the frame itself, thereby eliminating the need for it to be built into the doors. This results in significant cost savings without compromising the ability for the wall system to achieve the necessary fire-rating. The frames come with a patented adjustable clip system for simple and quick installation, saving the contractor both time and money. Or they can be installed using traditional methods. The product can be delivered fully assembled or in component parts to meet the needs of any customer.
