Sourcing custom OEM fire rated aluminum doors requires an engineering partner knowledgeable in the exacting physics of the 'Arrêté du 22 mars 2004' and its subsequent technical updates.
| Classification Parameter | French / EU Standard | Performance Range | OEM Engineering Implementation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Resistance (E) | NF EN 1634-1 / EN 13501-2 | E 30 to E 120 minutes | Heavy-gauge 6063-T6 multi-chambered aluminum extrusion with welded stainless internal structural brackets. |
| Thermal Insulation (I) | NF EN 1634-1 / CSTB Validated | EI₁ 30, EI₂ 30, EI 60, EI 120 | Proprietary hydrated sodium silicate or alumina gel core inserts that crystallize into an opaque thermal blanket during fire events. |
| Smoke Permeability (S) | NF EN 1634-3 | Sa (Cold) & S200 (Hot Smoke) | Dual-durometer co-extruded EPDM compression seals paired with graphite-based self-expanding intumescent strips. |
| Panic Egress Release | NF EN 1125 / NF EN 179 | Type A (Crossbar) & Type B (Touchbar) | Factory pre-machined, concealed anti-panic multi-point lock mechanisms with hardened steel throw-bolts rated for 200,000 cycles. |

Historically, France relied heavily on the "Coupe-Feu" (CF) and "Pare-Flamme" (PF) designations established by the ministerial decree of April 21, 1983. In modern French procurement, tenders require Euroclasses: Étanchéité au feu (E) representing flame and hot gas containment, and Isolation thermique (I) designating thermal attenuation to limit the surface temperature on the unexposed face to an average increase of no more than 140°C. Our production lines fabricate doors meeting either EI₁ (thermocouples placed 25 mm from leaf edge) or EI₂ (thermocouples placed 100 mm from edge), ensuring smooth approval across French verification offices (Bureaux de Contrôle such as Socotec, Apave, Veritas, and Dekra).
Exterior fire exits cannot merely satisfy emergency evacuation; they must simultaneously serve as energy-efficient building envelopes under the Réglementation Environnementale 2020 (RE2020). Conventional steel fire doors act as acute thermal bridges. Our OEM aluminum exit systems utilize low-conductive polyamide insulating struts (PA66 GF25) engineered to deliver overall thermal transmittance values down to Ud ≤ 1.4 W/(m²·K). By matching thermal performance with verified Environmental Product Declarations (FDES/EPD), we enable general contractors in France to meet strict life-cycle carbon footprint metrics.
Every sector in the French construction matrix operates under specific legislative frameworks. Our custom manufacturing facility calibrates profiles, glazing thicknesses, and hardware logic to match these precise operational scenarios.
Engineered for Category 1 through 5 public facilities (shopping complexes, university campuses, theaters). Features calibrated push-bars compliant with PRM (PMR) laws, guaranteeing less than 50 Newtons operating resistance for wheelchair access and rapid panic evacuation.
Manufactured specifically for stairwell compartmentalisation in structures exceeding 50 meters (residential) or 28 meters (commercial). Rated up to EI120 fire-stop endurance and equipped with S200 smoke shields to safeguard vertical escape shafts.
Specialized healthcare egress configurations. Flush architectural glass leaves engineered for electromagnetic hold-open linkage with central fire alarms (DAS: Dispositif Actionné de Sécurité) and antimicrobial powder coatings compatible with aggressive cleaning chemicals.
Hermetically sealed aluminum fire doors with motorized automatic drop-down bottom thresholds. Engineered to maintain differential pressure during gas extinguishing cycles without compromising instant mechanical panic break-out.
Fitted to classified environmental facilities (ICPE Rubrique 1510) requiring oversized compartmentalisation leaves. Anti-corrosive multi-layer powder coating with certified wind load resistance up to Class C4 (EN 12210) for exterior perimeter escapeways.
Bespoke profiles tailored for sensitive Parisian façades overseen by the Architectes des Bâtiments de France (ABF). Replicating classic molding and transom profiles while concealing modern multi-point locks and intumescent cooling cores.
The procurement landscape for metal joinery in France is shifting from purely functional steel slabs to high-performance, aesthetically refined aluminum systems driven by three macro factors.
French architects (notably across the Île-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions) increasingly mandate full-vision glazed fire doors. The demand for narrow sightlines (under 75mm visible profile) requires advanced structural aluminum alloys capable of supporting multi-layered intumescent laminated glass weighing over 60 kg/m².
Public tenders overseen by the French State or local authorities require full Building Information Modeling (BIM) data integration. Our engineering team provides Revit and IFC parametric families complete with thermal bridges, exact clearance envelopes for PRM, and hardware coordinate mapping.
Driven by the AGEC law (anti-waste and circular economy), contractors prioritize joinery fabricated with primary scrap recycling. Our aluminum extrusion streams leverage post-consumer recycled aluminum billets extruded using renewable hydroelectric power, drastically minimizing the carbon per metric ton.
As an industry-leading fabrication hub in Foshan with over two decades of international export execution, we eliminate intermediate brokerage markups and technical misalignments. We provide French contractors, distributors, and façade specialists direct access to comprehensive OEM/ODM engineering capabilities.
We maintain routine container shipments routed via major European maritime terminals including Le Havre, Marseille-Fos, and Dunkerque. All joinery is packed in custom fumigated steel-reinforced wooden crates with moisture-barrier wrapping and anti-scratch peelable surface films to survive long-distance transits without finish degradation.
