Buildings in and around Lofthouse range from care homes to light industrial buildings and small offices. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

Composite doorsets are a popular option for flat entrance programmes, and in Lofthouse they suit blocks where residents want colour choice and low maintenance. We only fit composite doors in Lofthouse in configurations covered by the product's certification.

How we fit composite doorsets

Composite doorsets are installed strictly to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically set out fixing positions, packing, the sealing of the frame-to-wall gap and threshold details. We set the closer so that it closes and latches the door, test the locks and record everything for your files. Where a resident or freeholder chooses colours, we make sure the chosen option is within the certified range.

On a typical job that means:

• Self-closer, smoke and intumescent seals
• Certificate reference and photo record
• Viewer, numerals and security hardware within evidence
• Weather detailing for external deck-access doors
