0:48Where doors fail
Dan Ross on the two places doors fail, rotting jambs and adjusting sills that freeze, and what D.W. Ross builds instead.
Don Ross on walls that have to carry a fire rating: masonry, or heavy mineral fiber insulated panels set with a vacuum rig.
Don Ross, D.W. Ross Company. 0:49.
If you have a firewall that's required, they offer, well, you have options, you could put masonry in there and take that through the roof and get yourself a one, two, three-hour rating, or they have insulated panels that are mineral fiber, and they're heavy. The four inches, one hour, the six inches, two hour, and the eight inch is a three-hour rating, and those panels could weigh eight pounds a square foot.
I mean, they're significantly heavy, and these panels are three and a half foot wide, and this could be 30 foot high, you know, and do the math, you know. You're talking like a heavy piece of equipment. You definitely have to have a vacuum rig and safety tethers on it.
