Where do composite fire doors make sense?
Composite doorsets are widely used as flat entrance doors, both inside corridors and on external deck-access walkways where the door faces the weather. Their factory finish avoids repainting, which matters because paint build-up is a common reason seals stop working. Many products also offer security features alongside the fire rating.
Each installation includes:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Certificate reference and photo record

Common questions
Do you cover RG45 and nearby postcodes?
Yes. We cover Crowthorne including RG45, and nearby towns such as Sandhurst and Yateley. The survey and written quote are free.
What happens on a survey in Crowthorne?
We look at every door in scope: the leaf, frame, gaps, seals, hinges, closer, glazing and how the frame is fixed. You then get a written quote that prices each door separately.
Do composite fire doors need a closer?
Yes, as flat entrance doors they need a self-closing device that closes and latches them. This can be overhead or concealed, depending on the certified options.
Can I add a letterbox to a composite fire door?
Only if the letterplate is part of the certified doorset. Cutting one in afterwards would compromise the door's fire performance.
