🔥 Fire Rated Grilles vs Non-Fire Rated Grilles — Most People Don’t Know the Difference!

They look almost identical…
But one can stop fire and smoke, and the other simply helps move air.
Using the wrong one in a fire door? That can mean failed compliance and major safety risks.

We just published a clear guide that explains:
✨ What makes a grille “fire rated”
✨ Why non-rated grilles should never be used in fire doors
✨ How intumescent layers work in a fire
✨ Why only the fire door manufacturer can supply compliant fire grilles

If you work in building, construction, facility management, or safety — this is essential info.
