Lorgest Wood Fire Door

Weyerhaeuser Company, one of the world's leading manufacturers of doors, is currently introducing the largest wood fire door ever marketed.

To satisfy the demand for closures in large, "institutionaltype" doorways, Weyerhaeuser h a s produced a door which measures up to 4x10 ft. and has been tested to withstand flaming temperatures up to 1700 degrees for one hour. The same heat would cause most metals to sag and lose their strength.

The door is manufactured with wood veneer surfaces, extra-thick fire-retardanttreated hardwood side edges and a mineral core. It carries a one-hour Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., Iisting and label.

Called a Weyerhaeuser Roddis Fire Door, it is light-weight a.rrd guaranteed for the life of the installation.

The 4x10-foot door can be faced with any available veneer species or with medium density overlays (a plastic-like surface) that provide a fine "tooth" for paint.

The door has been approved for stairways, corridors, and room entrances in such

buildings as hospitals, schools and business establishments.

The addition of the large fire door means Weyerhaeuser manufactures three fire doors exclusively.

Another door the company manufactures is the only 4x8-foot mineral core fire door with a fire-resistance rating of 1% hours.

Also they have the industry's only allwood fire door. It has a dense core of fireretardant-treated wood particles which are bonded with phenolic adhesive under pressure and heat. The extra weight of this 'Weyerhaeuser fire door results in outstanding sound resistance, fire resistance (it has a one-hour rating) and superior screw-holding power.
