Whether you are a business owner, a member of senior management, or a homeowner, our FD60 double fire doors offer the peace of mind that comes with superior fire safety solutions.

What is an FD60 Fire Door Set?

An FD60 fire door set is a crucial component in fire safety, designed to withstand fire and smoke for a minimum of 60 minutes. The "FD60" classification indicates that the door and frame have been tested and certified to provide 60 minutes of fire resistance. This duration is critical for allowing safe evacuation and limiting the spread of fire, thus protecting property and lives.

Our fire door sets include frames that are meticulously engineered to complement the fire door itself, ensuring that the entire assembly performs effectively during a fire. The frames are constructed from high-quality materials that can endure extreme temperatures without compromising their structural integrity. This includes using intumescent strips, which expand when exposed to heat, sealing gaps between the door and the frame to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. The robustness of the materials used in both the door and the frame is critical, as it allows the assembly to withstand the intense heat and pressure that occur during a fire. FD60 fire doors and frames are, therefore, essential in environments where enhanced fire protection is necessary.

These environments typically include commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and residential properties. In commercial buildings, FD60 fire doors and frames protect employees, customers, and valuable assets by providing a critical barrier that holds back fire and smoke, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely. This additional time can be the difference between life and death, especially in densely populated office buildings or retail spaces where the risk of panic and bottlenecks during an emergency is high. The containment of fire and smoke helps to prevent extensive damage to business assets and infrastructure, which can be vital for the continuity of operations post-incident.

In schools, the primary concern is the safety of students and staff. FD60 fire doors and frames play a crucial role in providing the necessary evacuation time, ensuring that all individuals, especially young children and those with disabilities, can exit the building safely. The robust construction of these doors helps to minimise fire damage, protecting educational materials and facilities that are essential for the school's operations.

Hospitals benefit immensely from FD60 fire doors and frames due to the presence of vulnerable patients who may not be able to evacuate quickly. The extra time provided by these fire-rated doors allows medical staff to move patients to safety methodically without causing undue stress or harm. Additionally, the doors protect critical medical equipment and infrastructure, ensuring that vital healthcare services can resume promptly after the fire is contained.

Residential properties also use these fire door sets to ensure the safety of occupants. The extra time afforded by FD60 fire doors is crucial for families, allowing them to gather essential belongings and pets, and evacuate safely. It also helps to contain the fire within a specific area, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the home or to neighbouring properties. This not only protects the residents but also limits property damage, making the recovery process faster and less costly.

Fire Door Types

Flush Fire Doors

Our flush fire doors are the epitome of sleek and modern design, providing a smooth, uninterrupted surface that integrates effortlessly into contemporary interiors. These doors are constructed with a flat surface free from moulding or raised panels, giving them a minimalist appearance that complements modern architectural styles. Ideal for offices and modern residential spaces, flush fire doors offer a clean and sophisticated look that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any environment.

Beyond their visual appeal, flush fire doors are engineered to provide exceptional fire protection. The core of these doors is made from fire-resistant materials that are rigorously tested to withstand high temperatures, ensuring they can contain a fire and prevent it from spreading. This combination of aesthetics and functionality makes flush fire doors a popular choice for spaces that require both modern design and high safety standards. Their seamless finish also makes them easier to clean and maintain, contributing to a hygienic and professional setting in commercial environments.

Panelled Fire Doors

Panelled fire doors add a touch of classic elegance to any setting with their intricate designs and traditional artisanship. These doors feature raised panels, mouldings, and decorative elements that reflect a timeless architectural style, making them ideal for heritage buildings, high-end homes, and places where a traditional look is desired. The detailed construction of panelled fire doors not only enhances the architectural beauty of a space but also offers a sense of grandeur and sophistication.

In terms of fire safety, panelled fire doors do not compromise on performance. They are constructed with the same rigorous standards as other fire doors, ensuring they provide robust protection against fire and smoke. The materials used in these doors are carefully selected to offer both durability and resistance to high temperatures. By combining aesthetic appeal with functional safety, panelled fire doors are perfect for preserving the character of historic buildings while meeting modern fire safety requirements.

Glazed Fire Doors

Glazed fire doors are fitted with fire-resistant glass, allowing visibility while maintaining high levels of fire protection. These doors are particularly beneficial in environments such as schools, offices and hospitals, where visibility is essential for safety and communication. The inclusion of glass panels in the door design helps to create an open and airy feel within a space, allowing natural light to flow through and brightening up interior environments.

The fire-resistant glass used in glazed fire doors is specially treated to withstand extreme heat and prevent the spread of flames and smoke. This ensures that, even in the event of a fire, the glass remains intact and continues to provide a barrier against the fire.
