Door & Joinery Solutions Ltd offers a premium range of FD60 fire doors, engineered to provide advanced fire protection for both commercial and residential settings. Our FD60 doors are designed and manufactured to withstand the ravages of fire for a minimum of 60 minutes, offering enhanced security and peace of mind for property owners, occupants, and emergency services.

What is an FD60 fire door?

An FD60 fire door is built to withstand the intense conditions of a fire for at least 60 minutes. This level of resistance is crucial in helping to ensure the safety and evacuation of building occupants as well as providing vital extra time for emergency services to manage and contain a fire, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the building.

Certification and testing

To be classified as an FD60 door, each design must undergo rigorous testing by accredited bodies according to British standards. These tests involve exposing the door to extreme conditions that simulate the temperatures and pressures of a real fire. Successfully passing these tests certifies that the door can indeed withstand a fire for 60 minutes, a confirmation that provides reassurance of its performance in real fire scenarios.

Role in fire safety

The primary role of FD60 internal doors is to compartmentalise the fire, keeping it confined to one area and thereby slowing its spread. This is crucial not only for protecting property and assets but also for the safety of occupants, allowing more time for evacuation. Additionally, by localising the fire, these doors help maintain the structure's integrity longer, providing firefighters a better chance to control the fire and minimise overall damage.

Importance in building design

Incorporating FD60 fire doors is a strategic element in building design, especially in multi-storey buildings, hospitals, schools, and other high-risk environments where the potential for fire could lead to significant harm or loss. These doors are installed in strategic locations such as stairwells, corridors, and between different sections of a building to form a protective barrier against fire and smoke.

60 minute fire doors are indispensable in modern architecture because of their role in enhancing safety protocols. They are designed not only to protect but also to integrate smoothly into the aesthetic and functional requirements of any building, ensuring that safety measures maintain the balance between protection and design.

Why choose Door & Joinery for FD60 internal doors?

We understand that the materials we choose play a crucial role in the performance and reliability of our products, especially under extreme conditions. Every FD60 fire door we manufacture is built using only the highest quality materials selected for their durability and fire-resistance properties.

Rigorous testing for uncompromised safety

Each of our FD60 internal doors undergoes rigorous testing to ensure they meet, and often exceed, the stringent safety standards set out in British Standards for fire resistance. Customers benefit from the peace of mind of knowing that all of our market-leading products are subject to stringent testing in accordance with the highest industry standards, providing essential protection when it matters most.

Beyond compliance

While meeting British Standards for fire resistance is a fundamental requirement, at Door & Joinery Solutions, we strive to exceed these benchmarks to offer our clients superior performance. Our dedication to going beyond compliance ensures that our fire doors not only provide safety but also bring additional value through enhanced durability and reliability. By exceeding these standards, our doors help fortify buildings against fires more effectively, potentially saving more lives and protecting property more efficiently.

A trusted product

Our commitment to quality material selection, coupled with our rigorous testing protocols, means that clients receive a product that they can depend on in the most critical situations. The trust that our customers place in our 60 minute fire doors is not taken lightly. It drives us to continually innovate and improve our offerings. We aim to provide not just a door but a reliable safeguard against the dangers of fire, ensuring peace of mind for property owners, managers, and occupants alike.

Tailored solutions

We recognise that every building is unique, each with its own specific needs and challenges. This understanding is at the core of our approach to providing tailored solutions for FD60 fire doors. We offer bespoke fire doors that can be customised to fit any size, style, and specification, ensuring that they meet the exact requirements of your building project.

Custom sizes and specifications

Whether your building features non-standard door openings or requires doors of varying sizes, our flexible manufacturing process allows us to create 60 minute fire doors that match any specified dimensions. This ensures that our doors fit perfectly, maintaining the integrity of the fire barrier without the need for extensive modifications that could compromise fire safety.

Vision panels and aesthetic integration

In addition to size customisation, we also offer the option to include vision panels in our FD60 internal doors. These panels are made from fire-resistant glass that can withstand the temperatures associated with a fire for up to 60 minutes, consistent with the door's fire rating. Vision panels are not only a safety feature, allowing visibility through the door and thus the ability to determine the fire and smoke status in the space that lies beyond the door, but they also contribute to the aesthetic design, bringing light and a sense of openness to otherwise solid barriers.

Variety of finishes

Understanding that the finish of a fire door significantly affects the overall look of the property, we provide a variety of finishes to choose from. Whether you prefer the natural beauty of wood veneers, the sleek appearance of laminates, or a specific paint colour to match your decor, our FD60 internal fire doors can be built to complement the architectural style of any building. This flexibility ensures that the doors enhance the interior design while fulfilling their critical safety function.
