Door & Joinery take pride in providing high-quality fire protection products that offer both safety and durability. Our fire door frames with loose stops are expertly crafted to ensure optimal fire resistance while maintaining flexibility and ease of installation. Designed to work seamlessly with fire doors, these frames enhance safety by ensuring a secure and precise fit, making them an ideal choice for business owners, senior management teams, and homeowners alike who prioritise both safety and efficiency in their buildings.

A fire door frame with a loose stop is a type of frame specifically designed to accommodate fire doors, offering enhanced fire safety. The loose stop element refers to the design where the stop- the part of the frame that prevents the door from swinging through the opening-is not fixed in place. Instead, it is detachable or adjustable, providing flexibility during installation and offering better alignment for the door and frame. This can result in a more efficient installation process, as well as an improved seal, which is crucial for the performance of fire doors in emergency situations.

Fire door frames are essential elements in any building's fire safety system. A well-designed fire door and frame assembly can prevent the spread of fire and smoke between compartments in a building, providing valuable time for occupants to evacuate and minimising damage to property. Fire door frames with loose stops also enhance the ease of installation, which can be especially beneficial for retrofitting or upgrading existing buildings.

How fire door frames work

The primary function of a fire door frame is to work in tandem with the fire door to contain fires within specific areas of a building. When a fire breaks out, the fire door, fitted into its specialised frame, forms a secure barrier. Together with the intumescent strips-strips that expand when exposed to heat, filling any gaps between the door and the frame-the fire door and frame will work to slow down the spread of flames and smoke. This buys critical time for evacuation and firefighting efforts.

However, a fire door is only as effective as its frame. A poorly fitted door or an inappropriate frame can compromise fire safety. Fire door frames with loose stops provide the additional benefit of easier adjustment and alignment, ensuring that the door fits tightly and the intumescent strips can function optimally.

Why internal loose stop fire door frames are crucial for your building

Choosing the right fire door frame is a critical decision, and fire door frames that have loose stops offer several key advantages. They provide a more flexible and precise installation process, ensuring that the fire door and frame work together to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. This is particularly important in environments where walls may not be perfectly straight, as the loose stop design allows for adjustments during installation.

Additionally, these fire door frames enhance the overall performance of the fire door assembly. By ensuring a tighter fit and better alignment, the frames help the intumescent strips to function more effectively, expanding to fill any gaps and creating a secure seal against fire and smoke.
