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
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
- Advice on certified composite products and options
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
