For more than 40 years, Tiger Door has been in the forefront of research and development in the field of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) products. The result is the finest FRP products in the marketplace – the unanimous choice of demanding architects, designers, owners and contractors worldwide. Tiger Door FRP door and frame units include: Heavy Duty Door Series; Extreme Duty UL Fire Rated and Extreme Duty Hurricane/Windstorm Door Series; as well as Fixed Window Systems, Louvers, Thresholds, and Light Kits.
Heavy Duty Doors
The Tiger Heavy Duty Door Series starts with a core that consists of a 3/8” triangular cell phenolic-impregnated kraft honeycomb surrounded by a rigid high-modulus, pultruded FRP tubular structural stile, rail and midrail sub-frame. At each of the sealed corner joints and hardware locations of the sub-frame, non-hygroscopic polymer blocking is inserted as reinforcement, providing the ultimate in strength for screw retention and compression resistance.
The skins for the door begin with the application of an “in-mold” 25-30 mil gel coat. Then a chopped strand glass fiber mat is applied to form the connective tissue, followed by a muscular bi-axial glass fiber structural reinforcement layer that further strengthens the door skins.
Finally, the composite skins are simultaneously fused onto both faces and all edges of the door under pressure until cured — not only to the FRP sub-frame but to the entire honeycomb core—forming a bond that fully integrates all the components. This highly advanced method of assembly using press-mold technology is only available from Tiger Door. Each door is factory finished with a specially formulated multi-component polyurethane industrial chemical coating for the semi-gloss color topcoat.
Extreme Duty UL Fire Rated Doors
Tiger Door has successfully tested its FRP Doors and Frame units to both UL 10B (neutral pressure) and UL 10C/UBC 7-2 (positive pressure) test standards. These door and frame constructions blend the latest technologies in fire protection components with the attributes of fiberglass to provide the ultimate FRP UL fire-rated barrier. Seamless designs utilizing concealed category A intumescents, in combination with factory pre-finishing available in 3 standard, 24 custom, or project-specific color-matched colors, provide aesthetically pleasing FRP openings to satisfy the most demanding architectural requirements.
Extreme Duty Hurricane Doors
Tiger Door has successfully tested its glazed and flush FRP door and frame units to meet or exceed the stringent requirements of the Florida Building Code (FBC), and the International Building Code (IBC) for hurricane rated openings. This product has been assigned Florida Product Approval Number FL7026 and is fabricated to Underwriters Laboratories manufacturing procedures ZHDL.R25222 and ZHCW.R25108.
In general, Tiger Door’s Extreme Duty UL Listed Hurricane/Severe Windstorm Door Series have passed for single swing and pair orientations incorporating our Screwless FRP Vision Light System glazed with hurricane rated glass and utilizing a variety of standard builders hardware.
Up to 1½ hour UL fire ratings available for flush single swing and pair orientations.
These requirements include meeting specific design pressures up to and including +/- 150 pounds per square foot (225 psf over-pressure) and large missile impact resistance with no shutters required. These pressures can translate to protection from wind speeds in excess of 300 mph*.
Pharmaceutical Duty Doors
Designed exclusively for interior pharmaceutical and medical environments where cleanliness is a must, the Tiger Pharmaceutical Duty Door Series is seamless and manufactured with all non-organic materials.
The core of the Tiger Pharmaceutical Duty Door consists of a 4mm cell polyproplene honeycomb surrounded by a rigid tubular FRP subframe. The skins for the door begin with the application of an “in-mold” 25-30 mil gel coat. Then a chopped strand glass fiber mat is applied to form the connective tissue, followed by a muscular bi-axial glass fiber structural reinforcement layer that further strengthens the door skins.
Finally, the composite skins are simultaneously fused onto both faces and all edges of the door under pressure until cured — not only to the FRP subframe but to the entire polyproplene honeycomb core—forming a bond that fully integrates all the components. This highly advanced method of assembly using press-mold technology is only available from Tiger Door. Each door is factory finished with a specially formulated multi-component polyurethane industrial
chemical coating for the semi-gloss color topcoat.
