Fire Rating The basic requirements and limitations regarding DE LA FONTAINE fire doors and frames are defined by the National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 80 (Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives).
Primer and Paint Our galvannealed steel is suitable for immediate painting, although we also offer water-borne primed products and factory prefinished products using a durable powder-coating process. Primer Our primer improves protection against humidity and corrosion and can be covered with any type of coating.
Our products also comply with the following standards:
UL 10C (Standard Positive Pressure Fire Tests of Door Assemblies) NFPA 252 (Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies) NFPA 257 (Standard on Fire Test of Window and Glass Block Assemblies) BS-476-22 British Standard (Fire Resistance Test to Building Material – Non loadbearing elements) Because the DE LA FONTAINE team is dedicated to innovation and new product development, we purchased our own testing facility. Once product development is complete, we perform a final test at Intertek Testing Services (ITS/Warnock Hersey) to receive their approval and obtain listing, labeling, and follow-up services for the fire-rated products we manufacture 1 .
Water-borne, it complies with current environ- mental standards due to its low VOC content. Our primer exceeds ANSI standard A250.10 (Test Procedures and Acceptance Criteria for Factory Applied Finish Painted on Steel Surfaces for Steel Doors and Frames).

Paint Powder-coated paint is available for many of our products. Our standard color palette includes several colors and can be complemented by custom colors as needed. Please consult our “Paint” technical data sheet on our website for more information.
Powder-coated paint:
- Offers durability and a quality finish - Reduces coordination on jobsite - Does not contain any solvents or VOCs (volatile organic compounds) > Exceeds ANSI standard A250.3 (Test Procedures and Acceptance Criteria for Factory Applied Finish Painted on Steel Surfaces for Steel Doors and Frames).
