Market Development History

Initially, fire doors in Israel, dating back to the mid-20th century, were primarily basic wooden constructions with limited fire resistance capabilities. The 1980s saw the introduction of steel-framed wooden doors, offering improved durability and fire ratings, coinciding with the implementation of stricter building codes.

The 1990s witnessed a significant shift towards all-steel fire doors, driven by the need for enhanced fire protection in high-rise buildings and industrial facilities. These doors incorporated intumescent seals and fire-resistant hardware. Increased international trade and adoption of European standards also played a crucial role.

From the 2000s onwards, the market has focused on specialized fire door systems, including wood fire door with enhanced fire ratings, rolling fire shutters for large openings, and doors designed for specific applications (e.g., hospitals, data centers). Current emphasis is on smart fire door systems with integrated monitoring and control capabilities.
