Commercial fire doors for Washwood Heath buildings
We provide commercial fire doors in Washwood Heath (B8 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Washwood Heath has a broad mix of buildings, including light industrial buildings, care homes and small offices, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
Each commercial door we fit in Washwood Heath gets a record your fire risk assessor can use straight away. Offices, shops and hotels in Washwood Heath can have fire doors fitted out of hours so trading is not interrupted.
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.
What you get:
- Per-door evidence for your fire risk assessment
- Hold-open devices linked to the fire alarm
- Access control and electric locking interfaces
- Out-of-hours and phased working
