FD60 fire doors in Wisbech, PE13

FD60 fire doors in Wisbech: what's involved

If you need FD60 fire doors in Wisbech, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.

In and around Wisbech, fire door work covers everything from small offices to schools. We plan each job around the people who use the building.

Before ordering FD60 doors for a Wisbech building, we check the rating each opening actually needs, because over-specifying makes doors heavier and dearer. For FD60 work in Wisbech we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence.

When does a building need FD60 rather than FD30?

FD60 doors appear where the fire strategy asks a wall to resist fire for an hour: stair cores and lobbies in taller buildings, plant and boiler rooms, some service risers, refuse stores and compartment walls between different uses. The rating follows the wall. Fitting an FD30 door in a 60-minute wall leaves a weak point, and fitting FD60 everywhere wastes money and makes doors harder to open.

We work from your fire strategy, the building's drawings or the fire risk assessment. Where these disagree with what is on site, we flag it before ordering.

On a typical job that means:

• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• Certified FD60 doorset or leaf with matching evidence
