In regions prone to extreme weather, particularly hurricanes, the importance of robust building materials cannot be overstated. At CDF Distributors, we're proud to offer Florida Building Products Certified Commercial Steel Doors, engineered to withstand the fiercest storms while providing unparalleled security and peace of mind.

Uncompromising Strength and Durability

Our hurricane impact doors are not just ordinary doors - they're a fortress against nature's fury. Constructed with 18-gauge Galvanneal steel and fitted into a 16-gauge Galvanneal steel frame, these doors offer exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. This makes them ideal for commercial properties of all types, from office buildings to schools and healthcare facilities.

Wind Ratings to Meet Every Need

We understand that different locations have varying requirements when it comes to wind resistance. That's why we offer multiple wind rating options:

  1. +/-65 PSF: Our standard option, suitable for most commercial applications.
  2. +65/-53.3 PSF: Available with glass kits for those wanting natural light without compromising on safety.

These ratings ensure that our doors not only meet but exceed code requirements in hurricane-prone areas.

The Beauty of Natural Light

Who says hurricane doors have to be dark and fortress-like? Our doors with glass kits allow you to let in natural sunlight without sacrificing safety. The 1.75" hurricane-rated glass can withstand winds of up to +/- 65 PSF, meeting code requirements while brightening your space.

  • Unfinished: Ready for custom staining or painting.

When it comes to keeping your building safe, fire-rated doors are a crucial element. These doors play a vital role in protecting people and property from the dangers of fire and smoke. In this guide, CDF Distributors explain differences between interior and exterior fire-rated doors. Let's dive into the basics and help you make the right choices for your safety needs.

Understanding Fire-Rated Doors:

Fire-rated doors are built to resist the spread of fire and smoke, acting as a barrier that contains flames during an emergency. They undergo rigorous testing to meet industry standards, focusing on factors like material strength, insulation, and overall performance in extreme heat conditions.

Interior Doors:

Purpose and Placement: These doors are meant to keep fire contained within a building, preventing it from spreading rapidly between rooms. You'll find them strategically placed in hallways, stairwells, and utility rooms.

Construction and Materials: Interior doors usually have a solid core made of fire-resistant materials like mineral or honeycomb core. The outer layer can be customized to match your building's style.

Rating and Certification: Each interior door receives a specific fire rating, indicating how long it can withstand exposure to fire – common ratings are 20, 45, 60, and 90 minutes. CDF Distributors ensures its interior doors meet or exceed industry standards, with certifications from recognized testing labs.

Features and Options: Interior doors might include extras like smoke seals and intumescent strips that expand when heated, creating a tighter seal. CDF Distributors offers a variety of interior doors with these additional features for extra protection.

Fire-Rated Exterior Doors:

Purpose and Protection: Designers create exterior doors to stop fire from spreading outside and withstand harsh weather conditions. These doors serve as the first line of defense against fire entering or exiting a building.

Construction and Materials: Manufacturers build these doors tough using steel, fiberglass, or durable materials for an extended lifespan.

Rating and Certification: Like interior doors, exterior fire-rated doors have specific fire ratings. Additionally, they may need certifications for weather resistance to maintain their strength over time.

Sealing and Insulation: Exterior doors may have advanced sealing systems to protect against water and enhance insulation. CDF Distributors offers a range of doors with weatherstripping and gasketing options for a tight seal in any climate.

Choosing the Right Door for Your Needs:

Consider building requirements, codes, climate, and safety plan when choosing between interior and exterior fire-rated doors.

CDF Distributors understands the need for a diverse range of fire-rated doors. Whether you need doors for compartmentalization inside or comprehensive protection outside, our extensive catalog ensures you find the perfect balance of safety, functionality, and style.

Why CDF?

Understanding the differences between interior and exterior fire-rated doors is essential. CDF Distributors is your reliable partner in navigating these complexities, offering a comprehensive range of doors that prioritize safety without sacrificing design. Make informed choices based on your building's unique requirements to create a secure environment that protects both lives and property. Choose CDF Distributors for doors that not only function flawlessly but also seamlessly complement your building's overall architecture, providing unparalleled protection against the unpredictable forces.

Commercial doors endure a significant amount of wear and tear, especially in high-traffic areas. To safeguard these essential entry points, protection plates play a crucial role. CDF Distributors offers a diverse range of protection plates designed to keep doors looking new despite constant use. In this guide, we'll delve into the four main types of protection plates and their applications, providing insights to help you make informed choices for your commercial doors.

Mop Plate

A simple yet effective solution, the door mop plate is installed on the pull side at the bottom of the door and can reach up to 6” in height. This type of protection plate is ideal for environments where cleanliness is paramount. Consider using door mop plates to shield doors during cleaning activities, such as mopping or vacuuming. They add an extra layer of defense against scratches and damage caused by routine maintenance.

Door Kick Plates

 Among the most common forms of commercial door protection, kick plates are installed on the push side at the bottom of the door and can vary in height from 8” to 16”. Perfect for doors experiencing heavy foot traffic, especially in areas like public restrooms, kick plates offer robust defense against scuffs and marks. Their strategic placement ensures that doors remain pristine, even in bustling environments where people might use their foot to push or keep doors open.

Door Stretcher (Push) Plate

Installers can mount stretcher plates, which serve specialized purposes, on either side of the door. Typically mounted near the middle of the door, these plates range in height from 8” to 16”. Healthcare facilities, in particular, benefit from stretcher plates, which protect from stretcher/gurney traffic or potential impacts from hospital beds. The versatility of stretcher plates makes them a valuable addition to facilities with unique needs.

Armor Plates

For doors facing the challenge of accommodating carts, rolling beds, or other equipment, armor plates are the solution. Installed on the lower half of the push side, these plates typically range in height from 18” to 48”. We tailor the height of the plates, including stretcher plates, to meet the facility's specific needs. These provide comprehensive protection against potential damage caused by the movement of equipment through door openings.

CDF Distributors understands the importance of preserving the integrity of commercial doors in various settings. Therefore, by offering a range of protection plates designed with specific use cases in mind, CDF Distributors ensures that your product remains in top-notch condition. Invest in longevity with CDF Distributors.
