New Release: Extended EI90 Fire-Rated Steel Door Series for Commercial Projects

Skylink has expanded its fire-rated steel door programme with an extended EI90 series aimed at commercial projects that need a higher fire-resistance rating than standard apartment FD30/FD60 work.

What the EI90 Rating Means

EI90 means the construction is tested to EN 1634 for 90 minutes of integrity and insulation. In practice that matters in hotels, hospitals, office buildings and shared-corridor apartments, where building control requires doors that hold back fire and smoke long enough for evacuation. The series sits above the familiar EI60 line in the Skylink catalogue.

What Is New in the Extended Series

• A wider range of standard and custom sizes, built to project drawings and site measurements
• Door cores specified to support the EI90 rating, with intumescent seals running continuously around leaf and frame
• Hardware sets chosen to remain functional under the rating - closers, locks and hinges are selected as a tested assembly, not mixed arbitrarily
• CE/CPR documentation and EN 1634 test reports supplied per project

Built for Commercial Programmes

Commercial buyers usually order in batches with mixed door types, so the EI90 series is designed to sit alongside EI60 fire doors, security doors and interior ranges in a single shipment under one quality standard. Lead times start at 25 working days and MOQ at 10 sets, with full-size customisation available.

That means a contractor can tender a hotel mixed package - EI90 escape-route doors in the stairs and corridors, EI60 or security doors on the guest-room wings, interior wooden or WPC doors in the back-of-house areas - and receive it as one documented shipment rather than three separate orders.

Sizing and Hardware in Practice

Like the rest of the catalogue, the EI90 series is built to project drawings and site measurements rather than only stock sizes. Leaf and frame thicknesses, glazing options and smoke-control seals are chosen as part of the rated construction, so the door you order matches the test report instead of being assembled from loose parts. Closer, lock and hinge brands can follow an international hardware spec or the buyer's own approved list.

Who It Is For

The extended EI90 series is aimed at distributors and contractors bidding on hotels, residential towers, healthcare buildings and public projects where a 90-minute fire rating is on the drawings. It is not a residential fire door - it is specified where the building code demands it.
