Riser Doors Fire Rated, Smoke and Acoustic Tested

A riser door is the full-height access door into a service riser or shaft — the vertical route carrying pipework, cabling and ductwork up through a building. Because risers pass through every floor, the door in front of one is doing serious compartmentation work: it has to hold the fire line, resist smoke passing between floors, and often control noise breaking out into a communal corridor.

How to choose the right riser door

Riser doors are usually specified rather than picked off a shelf, and the wrong assumption here is expensive to correct once the shaft is boarded. These are the five points that decide the product.

What fire period does the shaft require?

The riser door should match the fire resistance required for the shaft construction. Check the fire strategy or approved drawings rather than relying on the existing door, particularly on refurbishment projects.

Rated from one side or both?

Some doors are tested from one side only, while risers may require protection from fire originating inside or outside the shaft. Where this risk applies, choose a door tested for the required direction of fire exposure.

Do you need smoke seals?

Fire resistance and smoke control are separate requirements. Where smoke protection is specified, choose a riser door with the appropriate smoke classification, such as Sa or S200.

Is there an acoustic requirement?

Risers can transmit noise from pipes, pumps and building services into nearby rooms. If acoustic control is required, choose a tested riser door with the specified dB rating.

Single or double, and how will it be secured?

Choose the door configuration based on the size of equipment that needs to pass through the opening. For communal areas, use a suitable keyed or tool-operated lock to restrict unauthorised access.

A short installation overview

A quick guide to help you understand the installation process from start to finish.

Check the opening

Confirm the structural opening matches the door schedule and that the surrounding shaft construction is complete, sound and ready for installation.

Check the door

Confirm the supplied door matches the specified fire rating, sided rating and any required smoke or acoustic performance before installation.

Dry-fit the frame

Offer the frame into the opening and check that it is square and plumb. The frame must be correctly aligned for the door to seal properly.

Fix securely

Fix the frame using the specified fixings and centres. Fixing type and spacing form part of the tested assembly, so do not substitute. [Confirm fixing specification.]

Fire stop & seal

Fire-stop the perimeter gap between the frame and structure to the tested detail, using the specified sealant or backing material.

Check & record

Check the door swings, closes and latches without binding, with smoke seals continuous and undamaged. Record the installation and retain product documentation for the building safety case or Building Control handover.

FAQ’s

Find answers to the most common questions about our services, processes, and how we can help you achieve your goals.

What is a riser door used for in a commercial building?

A riser door provides access to a services riser a vertical shaft running through a building that carries pipework, cabling and ductwork between floors. It allows engineers to inspect and maintain these services while helping maintain the fire compartmentation of the riser shaft when closed.

What fire ratings are available for riser doors?

This range includes riser doors rated at 90 minutes and 2 hours, tested to maintain fire resistance for that period. The correct rating depends on the fire strategy for the building and the specification for that particular riser shaft, so always check the required rating before ordering.

What does smoke and acoustic tested mean for a riser door?

A smoke tested riser door is tested to restrict smoke passage in addition to its fire rating, while an acoustic tested riser door carries a sound reduction rating shown in decibels (dB), such as 33dB or 36dB. Some riser doors in this range combine fire, smoke and acoustic testing for higher-specification locations.

What is the difference between a single and double riser door?

A single riser door has one door leaf and suits smaller riser openings, while a double riser door has two leaves side by side for wider service risers needing a larger clear opening. Both are available with the same fire, smoke and acoustic testing options across this range.

What is a beaded frame riser door?

A beaded frame riser door is designed to be plastered into the surrounding wall so the frame is hidden beneath the finished skim coat, giving a flush appearance once decorated. A standard frame riser door instead sits visibly on the wall surface.

Are riser doors lockable?

Yes, riser doors in this range are fitted with locking systems such as 3-point locking, giving secure closure for shafts containing building services. This restricts access to authorised personnel while keeping the door quick to open for planned maintenance.

How do I choose the right riser door for my project?

Start with the required fire rating 90 minutes or 2 hours then check whether smoke or acoustic testing is specified for that riser location. From there, choose single or double doors based on the shaft width and a standard or beaded frame depending on the finish needed.

Are riser doors the same as access panels?

Riser doors and access panels serve a similar purpose concealed access to building services but riser doors are generally larger, heavier-duty units designed specifically for vertical service risers in commercial buildings. Access panels tend to cover smaller, more general access points in walls and ceilings.
