What is a FD60 Cherry Fire Door Frame?

A fire door frame is a specially designed structural component that works with a fire-rated door to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. When paired with the right door, it creates a barrier that can delay fire progression, offering crucial time for occupants to evacuate a building and for emergency services to arrive. The frame itself is constructed from materials tested to withstand extreme temperatures, ensuring that the door retains its integrity for the rated duration.

We take this function seriously, ensuring our frames meet stringent safety requirements while also complementing a building's overall design. Our FD60 fire door frames provide 60 minutes of fire resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where enhanced fire protection is necessary. In addition to their fire-resistant properties, our frames are crafted with precision using top-quality cherry timber, which adds a touch of elegance and warmth to any interior.

Fire door frames are essential in a variety of settings, ensuring that both commercial and residential spaces comply with fire safety regulations. Commonly found in offices, homes, retail spaces, and hotels, these frames are part of a comprehensive fire protection system that can save lives and property. While fire doors can be installed in numerous locations, there are different types of fire door ratings, with FD30 and FD60 being two of the most widely used.

FD60 Fire Doors: Where and Why?

FD60 fire doors and their frames are designed to provide 60 minutes of fire resistance, making them ideal for settings where enhanced fire protection is essential. These doors and frames are often used in environments with a higher fire risk, such as larger commercial spaces, warehouses, or areas where valuable or sensitive materials are stored. The key objective of an FD60 system is to contain fire for a full hour, allowing for safe evacuation and minimising structural damage. This extended barrier is crucial in high-risk settings, giving occupants more time to leave the premises and offering greater protection for property.

FD60 frames are commonly used in buildings with larger footprints, such as warehouses, office complexes, or retail spaces where there may be a significant fire load (the potential for a fire to spread quickly). In such environments, the extra time provided by an FD60-rated door is vital, as it allows emergency services more time to respond, while preventing the fire from spreading to other sections of the building. This 60-minute threshold is especially important in areas where business continuity, asset protection, and safety are critical.

In commercial office spaces and larger retail environments, FD60 fire doors are typically placed between main operational areas and storage spaces, or in corridors leading to stairwells and fire exits. Their placement in these strategic locations ensures that, should a fire break out, the spread is effectively delayed, allowing for a safer evacuation and giving emergency personnel time to control the situation. These doors are a vital part of a robust fire safety strategy in higher-risk, larger-scale buildings, providing peace of mind and essential legal compliance.

Types of FD60 Cherry Fire Door Frames

Door & Joinery offers a versatile range of FD60 Cherry Fire Door Frames, each designed for different applications and space configurations. Our FD60 frames are engineered to withstand fire for 60 minutes, providing a higher level of protection for more demanding environments. Here are the types of FD60 frames we stock:

Single 60 Minute Rated Cherry Fire Door Frames: Single fire door frames are a perfect fit for individual doors, commonly used in locations where space is limited, yet fire protection is paramount. These frames are ideal for small to medium-sized commercial spaces such as offices or private meeting rooms, and residential applications like utility rooms or basement access. The single door frame's compact design ensures it can be installed seamlessly without compromising on safety, allowing for 60 minutes of fire resistance, which is crucial for rooms storing valuable equipment or sensitive materials.

Double 60 Minute Rated Cherry Fire Door Frames: Double fire door frames are designed for wider openings, making them suitable for large commercial spaces or entryways where a broader access point is necessary. Ideal for retail outlets, hospitality venues, or commercial offices with high foot traffic, these frames offer the same 60-minute fire resistance while accommodating a more expansive design. Double doors are particularly useful in areas where accessibility is a priority, such as warehouses or showroom floors, offering both aesthetic appeal and heightened security.

Door and a Half Fire Door Frames: For situations where a single door frame is too narrow but a double frame is excessive, our door and a half cherry fire door frames provide an optimal solution. This configuration features one full-sized door alongside a narrower one, offering flexibility in space management. Commonly used in retail spaces and medium-sized offices, door and a half frames balance the need for enhanced fire protection with the practicalities of space. The additional width allows for easier movement of larger items while still providing robust fire resistance.

Custom FD60 Cherry Fire Door Frames: Door & Joinery understand that not all spaces conform to standard specifications. For this reason, we offer custom fire door frames for non-standard spaces or unique architectural designs. Our bespoke frames are crafted with the same attention to detail and safety as our standard models, ensuring that no matter the design challenges, your building remains compliant with fire safety regulations. Whether it's an unusual door shape or a complex layout, we can provide tailor-made solutions that meet your exact needs.
