With a commitment to quality, safety, and innovation, we ensure that every frame we produce meets the highest standards of fire resistance, ensuring peace of mind in both commercial and residential settings.

What is a FD60 Sapele Fire Door Frame?

A fire door frame serves as an integral component of a fire door system, designed to hold a fire-rated door securely in place. This combination of door and frame works together to act as a crucial barrier against the spread of fire and smoke. The frame itself must be engineered to withstand intense heat and maintain its integrity for a specified period. In the case of FD60-rated frames, they provide a minimum of 60 minutes of fire resistance. This level of protection significantly delays the spread of fire, allowing occupants more time to evacuate the building and giving emergency services a better chance to control the blaze before it spreads further.

Our FD60 Sapele Fire Door Frames are specifically crafted from high-quality timber, sapele, known for its durability and excellent fire-resistant properties. The frames are not only designed to enhance safety but also to complement the aesthetic of any interior space, offering a sleek, natural look without compromising on functionality.

Fire door frames, when paired with a correctly rated fire door, ensure that any fire outbreak is effectively contained within a compartment, limiting the potential for the fire to spread to adjacent areas. This is particularly important in environments where the safety of many individuals is at stake. Fire door frames work in tandem with other fire safety elements, such as fire seals, to create an effective barrier.

We are committed to producing frames that exceed industry standards, ensuring that your property is equipped with highly effective fire protection systems. Whether you need a standard size or a custom solution, our fire door frames are designed with precision and care, using state-of-the-art CNC technology to guarantee that each frame fits perfectly and provides maximum protection.

Where are Fire Door Frames Used?

Fire doors and frames are critical components in many settings where the risk of fire is heightened or where large numbers of people may be present. These settings include hospitals, schools, blocks of flats, and larger retail spaces, all of which require robust fire protection measures. Fire doors, coupled with FD60-rated frames, are specifically designed for these environments due to their enhanced ability to resist fire for 60 minutes.

In hospitals, fire doors and frames are essential to protect vulnerable patients and staff. Fire door frames installed in corridors and patient wards help to contain fires within specific areas, reducing the risk to patients who may not be able to evacuate quickly.

Schools are another key environment where FD60 fire door frames are necessary. These frames are installed in classrooms, hallways, and assembly areas to ensure that, in the event of a fire, students and staff can evacuate safely while the fire is contained. The 60-minute fire resistance is critical in providing time for teachers to guide students out of the building calmly and efficiently.

In blocks of flats, particularly high-rise buildings, FD60 fire door frames are often installed in communal areas, stairwells, and between flats to prevent the spread of fire from one unit to another. This containment helps to protect the lives of all residents by giving them enough time to safely leave the building.

Larger retail spaces, including shopping centres and supermarkets, also benefit from the use of FD60 fire door frames. In the event of a fire, the door and frames help to contain the fire within a specific area, protecting staff, customers, and valuable merchandise while allowing safe evacuation.

Types of Sapele 60 Minute Rated Fire Door Frame

Door & Joinery offer a wide range of FD60 Sapele Fire Door Frames, each designed to suit specific applications. Our range includes single, double, and door and a half configurations, as well as bespoke solutions for non-standard openings.

Single Sapele 60 Minute Rated Fire Door Frame: Single fire door frames are the most common type used in both residential and commercial properties. These frames are installed in smaller spaces and are ideal for private rooms, offices, or storage areas.

Double Sapele 60 Minute Rated Fire Door Frame: Double fire door frames are used in wider openings, such as in hospitals, schools, or large commercial spaces. These frames accommodate two fire doors, allowing for larger areas to be accessed while still providing 60 minutes of fire resistance. Double frames are particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas, where both functionality and fire safety are key. They are commonly found in large corridors, assembly halls, and open-plan offices where access needs to be wide and unobstructed while ensuring that fire protection remains a priority.

Door and a Half Sapele 60 Minute Rated Fire Door Frame: A door and a half frame is designed to provide flexibility in spaces where a wider opening is required but a full double door is not necessary. This type of frame is often installed in locations where larger items may need to be moved, such as in warehouses, storage facilities, or commercial spaces. One door is larger than the other, offering a combination of ease of access and fire safety. The FD60 rating ensures that even with the larger opening, the frame provides 60 minutes of protection against fire.

Custom Sapele 60 Minute Rated Fire Door Frame We understand that not all spaces are standard, which is why we offer custom FD60 Sapele Fire Door Frames for non-standard solutions. Whether you need a fire door frame for an unusually shaped or sized opening, our team can work with you to create a bespoke solution that meets both your aesthetic and safety requirements. Custom frames are particularly useful in older buildings with unique architectural features or in modern properties where design takes precedence. Whatever your needs, our custom frames provide the same level of fire protection, with 60 minutes of resistance, as our standard offerings.

Compliance, Certification, and Quality Standards

Door & Joinery take compliance and certification seriously. All our FD60 Fire Door Frames are CERTIFIRE accredited, which means they have been rigorously tested and approved to meet the highest standards of fire safety. This certification provides reassurance to our customers that our frames will perform as expected in the event of a fire, ensuring maximum protection for their property and occupants.

We also adhere to ISO 9001:2015 standards, which demonstrate our commitment to quality management and consistent improvement. By following these internationally recognised standards, we ensure that every frame we produce is of the highest quality, giving our customers peace of mind.

Our use of CNC technology means that every fire door frame is manufactured to precise measurements, ensuring a perfect fit every time. This level of precision is critical when it comes to fire safety, as even a small gap or misalignment can compromise the effectiveness of a fire door. We also provide all necessary documentation, ensuring that you have the credentials required to meet legal and insurance obligations.
