Composite fire doors in Chiswick: what's involved

Fire doors in Chiswick protect escape routes in care homes, clinics and purpose-built blocks of flats alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.

We only fit composite doors in Chiswick in configurations covered by the product's certification. Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Chiswick they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance.

How we fit composite doorsets

Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.

On a typical job that means:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Advice on certified composite products and options
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
