What is a Fire Door Frame?

A fire door frame is more than just a supporting structure for a fire door, it is a crucial component that ensures the effectiveness of the door in containing and delaying the spread of fire and smoke. Made from robust oak, known for its strength and durability, our frames are specially engineered to withstand intense heat and prevent fire from penetrating through door openings for a specified period. Door & Joinery specialise in crafting fire-rated oak door frames that not only complement the door's aesthetics but also enhance the overall fire protection of a building.

Fire door frames play a vital role in the safety of any building. They work in tandem with the fire door to create a barrier against fire and smoke, providing a safe escape route for occupants and safeguarding property. Our oak fire door frames offer a snug fit with the door, ensuring that there are no gaps through which fire or smoke can pass. By containing the fire within a specific area, these frames help in minimising damage and providing crucial time for evacuation and emergency response.

Oak is a preferred material for fire door frames due to its natural properties. It is dense, hard, and less likely to warp or twist when exposed to high temperatures. This stability is essential for maintaining the integrity of the door frame in a fire situation. Our 60 minute fire rated oak door frames are crafted with precision and care, using advanced engineering techniques to create a product that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly effective as a fire safety measure.

Understanding FD60: A Standard of Safety

The term FD60 refers to the fire resistance rating of a door and its frame, indicating that it can withstand fire for up to 60 minutes. This rating is part of a classification system that measures the time a door can resist fire and smoke, ranging from FD30 (30 minutes) to FD120 (120 minutes). The FD60 rating is particularly important because it provides a full hour of protection, which can be critical in a fire emergency, allowing sufficient time for evacuation and for fire services to arrive and contain the fire.

FD60 oak fire door frames are suitable for various settings, including commercial buildings, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and residential properties. In commercial settings, where high foot traffic is common, and the risk of fire incidents may be higher due to the presence of electrical equipment, FD60 frames offer a reliable safety solution. In residential settings, especially in multi-storey buildings or flats, having FD60 fire door frames can make a significant difference in ensuring the safety of residents. The one-hour protection these frames provide is crucial in high-risk areas like kitchens, boiler rooms, or storage areas where flammable materials are kept.

The Benefits of 60 Minute Oak Fire Door Frames

Choosing 60 minute fire rated oak door frames offers multiple benefits. Firstly, they provide a robust barrier against fire and smoke, significantly enhancing the safety of a building's occupants.

The 60-minute fire resistance rating gives peace of mind, knowing that there is ample time to respond to a fire emergency. Secondly, oak fire door frames are not only functional but also add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any interior. The natural beauty of oak, with its rich colour and grain patterns, complements both traditional and modern architectural styles, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

The durability and strength of oak mean that these fire door frames are long-lasting and require minimal maintenance. They are resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that they remain effective and visually appealing for many years. Our oak fire door frames are also designed to meet stringent building regulations and fire safety standards, making them a reliable choice for compliance and insurance purposes.

Types of 60 Minute Oak Fire Door Frames

Door & Joinery offers a variety of 60 minute oak fire door frames to cater for different needs and preferences. Each type is meticulously crafted to provide maximum safety and aesthetic appeal.

Rebated Fire Door Frames: These frames feature a rebate, or groove, into which the fire door fits snugly. The rebated design ensures that the door is tightly sealed within the frame, preventing any gaps that could allow fire or smoke to pass through. Rebated fire door frames are ideal for both commercial and residential settings, providing an effective barrier against fire and smoke. They are often used in corridors, stairwells, and other areas where fire containment is crucial.

Engineered Fire Door Frames: Our engineered oak fire door frames are constructed using high-quality, laminated timber. This engineering process enhances the strength and stability of the frame, making it less prone to warping or twisting under extreme heat. Engineered fire door frames are perfect for use in areas with high moisture levels or temperature fluctuations, such as kitchens or bathrooms, where traditional frames might not perform as well.

Double Fire Door Frames: For larger openings, our double fire door frames are an excellent choice. These frames are designed to accommodate double doors, providing the same level of fire resistance as single door frames. Double fire door frames are commonly used in commercial buildings, such as hospitals, schools, and office buildings, where wide openings are necessary for accessibility or the movement of large equipment. The use of double fire doors with FD60 frames ensures that even these larger spaces are adequately protected against fire.

Fully Finished Fire Door Frames: To save time and ensure a high-quality finish, we offer fully finished 60 minute oak fire door frames. These frames come pre-finished with a durable lacquer or paint, ready for immediate installation. Fully finished frames are ideal for projects where time is of the essence or for clients who prefer a complete, hassle-free solution.
