Smoke-proof glass doors and portals
The primary goal of fire-rated and smoke-rated openings is to protect lives, and their design, selection, application, and maintenance come with great responsibility. Therefore, fire-rated and smoke-rated openings, as well as their manufacturing, must meet a number of standards and legal requirements, and proof of compliance must be provided. Alongside these requirements, aesthetic and practical considerations can be taken into account.
Coolfire Ltd.’s expertise, product suitability, and reliability are supported by:
- Being pioneers in introducing aluminum-framed glazed fire-rated and smoke-rated openings in Hungary.
- Over 15 years of market experience.
- The successful application and maintenance of fire-rated openings in numerous buildings, ensuring durability and trouble-free usage.

Their verified size range also provides numerous possibilities for various solutions.
