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:

• Certificate reference and photo record
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• FD30S composite doorset made to measure
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
