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:
- FD30S composite doorset made to measure
- Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
- Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
- Certificate reference and photo record
