Door & Joinery understands that ensuring properties' safety and security is paramount. Fire doors are crucial in enhancing fire safety, providing essential protection that can save lives and minimise property damage. We pride ourselves on manufacturing and supplying an extensive range of high-quality fire doors designed to meet stringent safety standards while offering the flexibility for customisation to suit various aesthetic preferences.

What is an unfinished fire door?

An unfinished fire door is a crucial component in fire safety, specifically designed to resist the spread of fire and smoke between different areas of a building. Unlike pre-finished fire doors, unfinished doors are supplied in their raw state, allowing the end-user to apply their preferred finish. This could include painting, varnishing, or staining to match the existing décor of the building.

Unfinished fire doors maintain all the essential fire-resistant properties required to meet safety standards. They are constructed with materials and internal structures that enable them to withstand high temperatures and prevent the passage of fire and smoke for a specified period. This containment is critical in providing occupants with the necessary time to evacuate and for emergency services to respond.

The unfinished nature of these doors offers a significant advantage in terms of customisation. Business owners, senior management teams, and homeowners can ensure that the fire doors integrate with the overall interior design of their properties. This makes them an ideal choice for various settings, including commercial buildings, offices, residential homes, and public spaces.

In addition to our 30-minute option, we also offer a ply faced 60-minute fire door for those requiring an enhanced level of fire protection. This door is engineered to provide 60 minutes of fire resistance, offering an extended period of safety in the event of a fire. There are several situations where a 60-minute fire door is a superior choice, providing crucial advantages in high-risk environments.

High-occupancy buildings

In buildings with high occupancy, such as office complexes, hotels, and large residential blocks, a 60-minute fire door is essential. These environments house a significant number of people, and the extended fire resistance ensures that everyone has ample time to evacuate safely. In such scenarios, the additional 30 minutes of fire protection can make a substantial difference in preventing injuries and fatalities.

Commercial and industrial facilities

Commercial and industrial facilities often contain valuable assets, sensitive information, and potentially hazardous materials. In these settings, a 60-minute fire door provides critical protection, allowing more time to control the fire and minimise damage to property and equipment. This extended protection is particularly important in areas such as warehouses, factories, and data centres, where the contents are vital to business operations.

Healthcare and educational institutions

Healthcare facilities and educational institutions are environments where evacuation can be more challenging due to the presence of vulnerable individuals, such as patients, the elderly, and children. The additional fire resistance of a 60-minute door offers extra time for orderly and safe evacuations, ensuring that these at-risk populations are adequately protected. In hospitals, nursing homes, and schools, the extended safety margin is invaluable for staff and emergency responders to manage evacuations effectively.

High-risk zones

Certain areas within buildings, such as kitchens, boiler rooms, and storage areas for flammable materials, are more prone to fire outbreaks. Installing 60-minute fire doors in these high-risk zones helps contain any potential fire, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the building. This containment strategy is crucial in managing fire hazards and protecting the overall structural integrity of the building.

Multi-storey buildings

In multi-storey buildings, fire can spread quickly from one floor to another, making fire containment a top priority. A 60-minute fire door installed in stairwells and between different levels provides an additional barrier, slowing the spread of fire and smoke. This gives occupants on higher floors more time to reach safety and makes firefighting efforts more effective.

Choosing our 60-minute fire doors for these high-risk environments ensures that your building has superior fire protection. The extended fire resistance and the ability to customise the door's finish to match your interior design make it an excellent investment in safety and aesthetics. At Door & Joinery, we are dedicated to providing fire door solutions that meet the highest safety standards while enhancing your property's overall look and feel.
