FD60 fire doors in Truro, TR1

FD60 fire doors in Truro, done to the evidence

Looking for FD60 fire doors in Truro? We supply and fit certified fire doors and components across Truro and the wider Cornwall area, working from a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Truro has a broad mix of buildings, including schools, houses with integral garages and family homes after loft conversions, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

For FD60 work in Truro we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Truro buildings tend to be stair cores, plant rooms and bin stores in larger blocks and commercial premises.

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.

What you get:

• Frame fixing and structural gap sealing recorded with photos
• Check of the fire strategy rating for each opening
• Load-rated hinges and correctly powered closer
• 60-minute glazing systems where vision panels are needed
