Doors that look the part and still perform
Commercial interiors often need veneered, laminated or painted finishes, glazing, push plates, kick plates and signage. All of this is possible on a fire door, provided every element is covered by the doorset's certification. We specify the finish and hardware at the outset so nothing has to be improvised on site.
On a typical job that means:
- Glazed and solid options to certification
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Doorsets with veneer, laminate or paint finishes
What the rules say for Shirley
