Composite fire doors for Farnborough buildings
When you book composite fire doors in Farnborough, the aim is simple: doors that close, latch and seal as tested, with records that prove it.
Fire doors in Farnborough protect escape routes in low-rise blocks of flats, high-street shops and industrial estates alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Farnborough they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. For deck-access blocks in and around Farnborough, we specify composite doors certified for external use, with the right threshold detail.
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.
What you get:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

Are composite fire doors as good as timber ones?
Both can perform well when they are certified and installed correctly. Composite doors offer low maintenance and colour choice; timber doorsets offer more flexibility on sizes and finishes. The certification and installation matter more than the material.
Can composite fire doors face the weather?
Some are designed for external use on deck-access blocks. The product must be certified for that use and fitted with the right threshold and weather detailing.
