11 engineered specialty products – fire shutters, fire & smoke curtains, acoustic shutters, agricultural and livestock doors, weather-rated doors, impact traffic doors, PVC strip curtains, welding screens and electric retractable gates. Fire assemblies specified to the EN 1634-1 test method and classified to EN 13501-2; smoke control to BS EN 12101. EI60 / EI120 fire capability. Any size, any spec, custom engineered to your specification, from custom engineering to container-load delivery.
Specialty doors fail you in three ways: a fire shutter cannot prove its rating to the local authority having jurisdiction; a farm door corrodes and binds after one season of washdown and weather; or an acoustic or weather-rated door falls short of the dB or wind-load target the project promised. As a pure manufacturer, RAX builds the door, the operator and the hardware under one roof – tested from −30°C cold storage to +50°C desert – and ships full technical drawings so your local team installs with confidence. Large industrial doors start from prototype to full production runs: any size, any spec, custom engineered to your specification.
Fire compartmentation lives or dies on provable ratings. We specify fire shutters and curtains to the EN 1634-1 test method, classify to EN 13501-2 (E / EW / EI + duration), and integrate smoke curtains to BS EN 12101 – with fail-safe gravity or battery descent and the documentation your AHJ needs.
Barn, livestock and agricultural doors run on top-hung galvanized track with no floor track to foul, plus corrosion-resistant skins, optional wicket doors and ventilation grilles for washdown and livestock housing.
One-stop sourcing across fire, acoustic, weather and traffic doors, with CE documentation and wiring diagrams for compliant, low-coordination handover – and non-standard sizes engineered per project.
Source the full specialty range plus matching operators and parts from one factory. OEM labeling, RAL color-consistent batch production and stable 12-day-per-container lead time – you install yourself.
Every model is manufactured in-house and shipped with English installation manuals and wiring diagrams. Fire products carry the higher documentation burden of certified assemblies. Any size, any spec, custom engineered to your specification.

View product →The figures below are standard classes and market-typical ranges compiled from published fire-rating taxonomies, acoustic benchmarks and the product ranges of leading specialty-door makers. They frame what to specify – the certified class and maximum installed size for each fire product are confirmed from the matching test report on the engineering proposal.
| Fire rating vocabulary | E = integrity (resists flame/hot-gas passage); W = radiation (limits radiant heat); I = insulation (limits unexposed-face temperature rise). A class such as EI60 / EI120 means 60 / 120 minutes of both integrity and insulation. |
|---|---|
| Fire integrity (E) classes | Integrity classes commonly span 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 / 210 / 240 minutes (rating taxonomy per Coopers Fire’s published fire-curtain range). A steel fire roller shutter typically achieves integrity (E / EW) ratings. |
| Fire insulation (EI) classes | Insulation classes commonly span 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 minutes; full EI usually requires an insulated curtain or a separate insulated assembly. RAX offers EI60 / EI120 fire capability – each published product carries the matching EN 1634-1 / EN 13501-2 report. |
| Smoke curtains | Smoke-control curtains rated by duration to BS EN 12101 – common classes include 60 / 120 / 150 minutes (per Coopers Fire’s SmokeStop range) – for smoke reservoirs and escape-route protection. |
| Acoustic performance | Insulated steel doors and shutters achieve roughly 25-40+ dB sound reduction depending on construction (Hörmann benchmark: steel entrance door ≈ 40 dB, interior door ≈ 32 dB, garage door ≈ 25 dB). RAX measures and reports the Rw / dB for each acoustic product. |
| Impact traffic doors | Double-acting (swing both ways), self-closing on gravity/spring hinges, with flexible or rigid impact-resistant panels (HDPE / stainless / PVC), full or partial vision windows and bumpers/kick plates (taxonomy per Rite-Hite’s impactable traffic-door range). |
| PVC strip curtains | Common strip widths 200 / 300 / 400 mm; thickness 2 / 3 / 4 mm; overlap typically one rib (≈ 50% for cold rooms). Grades: clear (internal), polar / super-polar (sub-zero), anti-insect yellow (food/agriculture), anti-static (electronics), bronze/grey flame-retardant (welding) – grade taxonomy per Extruflex. |
| Welding screens | Flame-retardant, translucent PVC (commonly bronze/green/grey) that filters arc UV/IR and contains sparks; commonly specified to ISO 25980 for welding screens/curtains. |
| Agricultural / barn / livestock doors | Top-hung galvanized track (no floor track), galvanized or PVC-coated steel skins, optional personnel (wicket) door and ventilation grilles; livestock doors emphasise corrosion resistance and easy washdown. |
| Weather / wind-load doors | Wind resistance expressed by EN 12424 wind-resistance Class or a design pressure (Pa). RAX doors carry Wind Load Class 5 capability (spiral hard door up to Class 12); confirm per product. |
| Electric retractable gates | Telescopic / retractable self-supporting sliding gate – distinct from cantilever sliding gates and swing gates (taxonomy per Hongmen). Specify opening width, height, material, motor and photocell / anti-crush safety. |
| Substrates & materials | Galvanized steel 0.4-1.5 mm, aluminum alloy 6063-T5, stainless 304/316, PVC coated fabric 0.9-1.2 mm, PU foam panel 40-50 mm; insulated panels deliver U-Value 0.33 W/m²K thermal performance. |
| Operators & safety | Servo VFD / tubular motor drive; sensing via radar / geomagnetic / light-curtain; anti-pinch safety edge + bottom air-bag sensor; explosion-proof motor (Ex d IIB T4) available; operators CE to EN 12453. |
| Color & finish | Full RAL color-consistent batch production (common RAL9006, RAL9010, RAL7016, RAL5010); wood-grain transfer, PVDF coating and anodizing available. |
Note: fire integrity/insulation minutes, smoke-curtain durations and acoustic dB figures above are published standard classes and competitor benchmarks (Coopers Fire, Hörmann), not RAX certified values. RAX confirms the certified fire class and maximum installed size per product from its EN 1634-1 / EN 13501-2 reports, and measures its own acoustic Rw / dB, before quotation. Material, thermal, wind-load, operator and color values are RAX capabilities (brand data).
Fire and life-safety doors are accepted on the strength of their test evidence. These are the standards your AHJ, EPC buyer or distributor will reference – and the ones RAX prepares documentation against.
The EU test method for determining the fire resistance of door and shutter assemblies – covering hinged and sliding doors, folding shutters, tilting doors, roller shutters, openable windows and operable fabric curtains. It produces the test data from which a fire class is derived, and is the report fire contractors request first.
The EU fire classification standard that turns EN 1634-1 test results into the published class – E / EW / EI plus a duration (for example EI2 60). This is the classification your AHJ checks against the required compartment rating.
The standard for smoke and heat control systems, including smoke curtains. Smoke curtains are rated by duration to BS EN 12101 and used to form smoke reservoirs and protect escape routes – complementary to the fire shutter.
The British standard for active fire curtain assemblies – the specialist product standard for fabric fire curtains that conceal in the ceiling. Fire-curtain manufacturers (e.g. Coopers Fire) list to BS 8524-1 alongside BS EN 1634-1 and UL 10D.
The umbrella EU product standard for industrial, commercial and garage doors and gates. RAX holds CE certification to EN 13241 for its doors and supplies the Declaration of Conformity and test report with every order.
Specify the safety of powered door and gate operators, including force limits and test methods. RAX operators are CE certified to EN 12453, and gate forces are tested for safe automated operation.
Fire compartments, agriculture and general industry – engineered and tested from −30°C cold storage to +50°C desert conditions, with the rating, sealing or corrosion resistance each application demands.
Fire shutters and fire/smoke curtains in warehouses, car parks, supermarkets, atria and industrial units – protecting openings, forming smoke reservoirs and safeguarding escape routes.
Barn, agricultural and livestock sliding doors on corrosion-resistant galvanized track, with ventilation and washdown-ready construction for farms, stables and grain storage.
Acoustic shutters and doors for plant rooms, generators, test rigs and factories near residential zones, specified to a target Rw / dB reduction.
Weather / wind-load rated doors for exposed external openings, high-wind regions and hangars, specified to an EN 12424 wind-resistance class.
Impact traffic doors and PVC strip curtains for food processing, commercial kitchens, hospitals, retail and internal warehouse passages – hygiene zoning and insect/dust control.
Electric retractable / telescopic sliding gates and welding screens for factory and estate perimeters, car parks, security entrances and welding bays.
Work through these six decisions and you will have everything our engineers need to return a proposal and technical layout. Send us your answers via the inquiry form or WhatsApp.
Start from the compartment requirement in your fire strategy: is it integrity only (E), integrity + radiation (EW), or full integrity + insulation (EI), and for how many minutes (e.g. EI2 60 / EI 120)? A steel fire roller shutter typically achieves E / EW; full EI usually needs an insulated curtain or assembly. We confirm the certified class and maximum installed size from the matching EN 1634-1 / EN 13501-2 report.
A fire roller shutter is a robust steel barrier for large openings and industrial compartments. A fire/smoke curtain conceals in the ceiling and descends on demand – ideal where architecture must stay open and for smoke reservoirs. Specify fail-safe descent (gravity or battery/UPS) on power loss, and the control panel and detectors.
State the source noise level and the target reduction in dB (or required Rw). Insulated steel doors and shutters achieve roughly 25-40+ dB depending on construction, so the core, sealing and perimeter detail must match the target. We measure and report the Rw / dB for the proposed assembly.
Choose strip width × thickness (commonly 200-400 mm wide, 2-4 mm thick), overlap (typically one rib, ≈ 50% for cold rooms) and grade: clear for internal, polar / super-polar for sub-zero, anti-insect yellow for food/agriculture, anti-static for electronics, flame-retardant for welding.
For electric retractable gates, confirm the opening width and height, the gate type (telescopic/retractable, sliding, cantilever or swing), material, motor and safety (photocell / anti-crush). We engineer the span and return technical drawings.
For farm and exposed sites, specify corrosion protection (galvanized / PVC-coated / stainless), the wind-resistance class (EN 12424) and any washdown duty. Then list the documents you need: EN 1634-1 test report + EN 13501-2 classification + CE Declaration (fire), acoustic Rw report, wiring drawings, and operator force/safety test (EN 12453/12445) for gates.

Fire ratings are classified to EN 13501-2 as E (integrity), EW (integrity + radiation) or EI (integrity + insulation), each with a duration in minutes – for example EI2 60 or EI 120. A steel fire roller shutter typically achieves integrity (E / EW) ratings, while full insulation (EI) usually requires an insulated curtain or assembly. RAX offers EI60 / EI120 fire capability and confirms the certified class and maximum installed size for each product from the matching EN 1634-1 / EN 13501-2 report.
A fire roller shutter is a robust steel barrier suited to large openings and industrial compartments. A fire or smoke curtain is a fabric assembly that conceals in the ceiling and descends on demand – ideal where the architecture must stay open, and for forming smoke reservoirs and protecting escape routes. Curtains are specified to BS 8524-1 (active fire curtains) and BS EN 12101 (smoke control), while shutters are tested to EN 1634-1 and classified to EN 13501-2.
Acoustic doors and shutters are rated by sound reduction in dB (weighted Rw). As a market benchmark, insulated steel doors achieve roughly 25-40+ dB depending on construction – Hörmann publishes about 40 dB for a rockwool-core steel entrance door, 32 dB for an interior door and 25 dB for a PU-panel garage door. Tell us the source noise level and target reduction and we propose an assembly, then measure and report its Rw / dB.
Choose by environment: clear PVC for internal passages, polar or super-polar for sub-zero cold rooms, anti-insect yellow for food and agriculture, anti-static for electronics, and flame-retardant bronze/grey for welding. Common strips are 200-400 mm wide and 2-4 mm thick, with overlap typically one rib (about 50% for cold rooms). Confirm your temperature range and hygiene requirements and we specify the grade.
We offer telescopic / retractable self-supporting sliding gates – distinct from cantilever sliding gates and swing gates – for factory and estate perimeters, car parks and security entrances. Specify the opening width and height, material, motor and safety (photocell / anti-crush). Gates are engineered per project with and operator forces are tested to EN 12453 / EN 12445.
