Door & Joinery are dedicated to providing our clients with exceptional quality and peace of mind. We understand the critical importance of fire safety in both commercial and residential buildings. That's why we specialise in manufacturing and supplying rebated fire door frames that are designed not only to enhance the safety of a building but also to comply with stringent safety regulations. Our commitment to innovation and quality ensures that our fire door frames offer reliable protection, giving you confidence in the safety measures of your premises.

What is a rebated fire door frame?

A rebated fire door frame is a specially designed frame that accommodates a fire door, providing an effective seal when the door is closed. The rebate, or step, in the frame ensures a tighter fit between the door and the frame, reducing the gaps through which fire or smoke could pass. This is crucial in slowing down the spread of fire and allowing more time for occupants to evacuate safely.

Rebated fire rated door frames are a key component in fire safety strategies. They work in conjunction with fire doors to create a barrier that resists fire and smoke for a specified period, typically 30 or 60 minutes, which can be the difference between life and death in an emergency. These frames are engineered to meet rigorous standards, ensuring that they perform effectively under extreme conditions.

Door & Joinery is proud to manufacture a wide range of high-quality rebated fire door frames that meet the diverse needs of both commercial and residential applications. Our frames are constructed from carefully selected materials, ensuring robustness and durability. This attention to detail means our products are not just compliant with safety standards but also provide long-term value to our clients.

Understanding FD30 and FD60 Ratings

When selecting a fire door frame, understanding the FD ratings is crucial. The FD rating indicates the amount of time a door and its frame can withstand fire before failing. FD30 and FD60 are the most common ratings, offering 30 and 60 minutes of fire resistance, respectively.

FD30-rated fire door frames are suitable for areas where a 30-minute resistance is sufficient, such as in residential properties or in certain parts of commercial buildings like offices or storage areas. These frames are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, giving building occupants time to escape and emergency services time to respond. They are typically used in internal doorways where fire risk is moderate.

FD60-rated fire door frames offer enhanced protection, capable of withstanding fire for up to 60 minutes. These are often used in high-risk areas such as corridors, stairwells, and other escape routes in commercial buildings, where the spread of fire could have more severe consequences. They are also a common requirement in larger residential buildings or facilities that accommodate vulnerable individuals, such as care homes or hospitals.

The choice between FD30 and FD60 should be based on the specific requirements of the building and the recommendations of fire safety assessments. Door & Joinery provides expert guidance to help you select the right fire door frame for your needs, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and maximising the protection of your property and its occupants.

Types of Rebated Fire Rated Door Frames

At Door & Joinery, we offer a variety of rebated fire door frames to suit different aesthetic and functional requirements. Each type is meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards of fire safety while offering a range of finishes to complement your interior design.

Prefinished Fire Door Frames: Our prefinished rebated door frames are an ideal choice for projects where time is of the essence. These frames come fully finished, saving you the time and cost of additional painting or staining. They are available in a range of finishes, including natural wood veneers and painted options, allowing you to choose a style that fits seamlessly with your décor.

Prefinished frames are particularly popular in commercial settings such as hotels, offices, and retail environments, where a polished, professional appearance is important. They are also a great option for high-end residential properties, where the quality of the finish is as important as the safety features.

Primed Fire Door Frames: Our primed rebated door frames provide a versatile solution for those who require a high level of customisation. These frames are pre-primed and ready for painting, allowing you to apply a finish that perfectly matches your interior colour scheme. The primed frames offer the same high level of fire protection as our other products but give you the flexibility to achieve a bespoke look.

Primed frames are often chosen for residential projects where personalisation is key, or in commercial environments such as offices and public buildings where the final colour needs to match specific branding or design guidelines. They offer a balance between customisation and convenience, making them a popular choice across various sectors.

Unfinished Fire Door Frames: For those who prefer complete control over the final finish, our unfinished rebated fire rated door frames are the perfect option. These frames are supplied in their raw state, allowing for full customisation in terms of staining, painting, or varnishing. Unfinished frames are ideal for restoration projects or for creating a specific look that cannot be achieved with prefinished or primed options.

Unfinished frames are commonly used in heritage buildings, where maintaining the original aesthetic is crucial, or in bespoke projects where unique finishes are required. They provide the flexibility to achieve any desired look while ensuring the highest standards of fire safety.

Commitment to Safety and Compliance: At Door & Joinery, we understand that fire safety is not just a matter of compliance but a critical aspect of building design and management. All our rebated door frames are manufactured in accordance with the latest industry standards, including CERTIFIRE accreditation and ISO 9001:2015 certification. This ensures that our products meet the highest levels of quality and reliability.

CERTIFIRE accreditation is a globally recognised mark of fire safety, providing assurance that our fire door frames have been tested to stringent standards and are fit for purpose. This certification is particularly important for commercial projects, where the legal and insurance requirements for fire safety are more demanding.

Our adherence to ISO 9001:2015 standards reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. This certification means that our manufacturing processes are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure we consistently produce high-quality products. It also demonstrates our ability to meet customer and regulatory requirements, providing peace of mind to our clients.

In addition to our certifications, we use the latest CNC technology to ensure that all our fire door frames are manufactured with pinpoint accuracy. This technology allows us to produce frames that fit perfectly every time, reducing the risk of gaps that could compromise fire safety. Our precision manufacturing processes also mean that our products are easy to install, saving you time and money on site.
