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:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Certificate reference and photo record
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
