For deck-access blocks in and around Stoke-on-Trent, 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.
On a typical job that means:
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Certificate reference and photo record
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Weather detailing for external deck-access doors

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.
