FORT® Honeycomb door has a paper honeycomb core. The core is permanently bonded to door skins strengthening the structural integrity of the door, enhancing long term performance and durability, while significantly reducing the weight. FORT® door is constructed with HONICEL paper-honeycomb from the N.L. Honeycomb was developed as a structural core for military aircraft wings during World War II. Among its advantages are a high strength-to-weight ratio, uniform crushing strength, high shear strength, and excellent impact resistance. It is durable, can be treated to resist decay and insects. The rigid honeycomb structure is integrated with door to form hundreds of small I-beams with the door, with a uniform thickness and flat surface that makes it easy to add lites, louvers or other features. It reinforces the full width and height of the door. Door edges are mechanically interlocked the full height of the door. Top and bottom inverted channels provide stability and protection. Bevelled hinge and lock edges allow for tighter installation tolerances, to ensure easier operation and eliminate binding and sticking. FORT® Honeycomb construction is in compliance with SDI-100 standards (ANSI A250.8-1998). Hardware preparation, reinforcement and locations are in accordance with ANSI A- 250.6-1997 and SDI 129-00. Honeycomb core doors are recommended for interior and exterior applications. Honeycomb core have integral high resistance to impact damage. Calculated thermal conductivity factors and STC rating for Honeycomb core doors are as follows.

FORT® stiffened door has vertical steel-stiffeners throughout the height of the door. The stiffeners can be of Z-section, U-Channel, Offset-channel or Hat Sections welded to each skin of the door.Rockwool-stiff ened core is the most reliable and durable construction. Rockwool Stiffened doors are used for exterior doors, where rigidly is important. They are available in varying degrees of strength and quality. The thickness of the stiffeners can vary, the majority is made of 20 gauge steel. Heavier gauges can be used, particularly on security doors. The stiffeners are welded to each other at the top and bottom, and to the inside door skins. The cavities between two stiffeners can be filled with Rockwool or any insulating material. Door edges are mechanically interlocked the full height of the door. Top & bottom inverted channels provide stability and protection. Bevelled hinge and lock edges allow for tighter installation tolerances, to ensure easier operation and eliminate binding and sticking. FORT® Stiffened construction is in compliance with SDI-100 standards (ANSI A250.8-1998). Hardware preparation, reinforcement and locations are in accordance with ANSI A250.6-1997 and SDI 129-00. Rock-wool Insulated have integral high resistance to Impact damage. Calculated thermal conductivity factors and STC rating for Rock-wool Insulated doors are as follows. *U-Factor: 2.20 *R-Factor: 0.45 *STC: 37
