FD60 fire doors in Burngreave

FD60 fire doors in Burngreave, done to the evidence

Our FD60 fire doors service in Burngreave is simple: a survey, a fixed quote, certified products and an installation finished to the manufacturer's evidence.

Burngreave has a broad mix of buildings, including family homes after loft conversions, small offices and care homes, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.

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

Why FD60 installation is less forgiving

A 54mm leaf can weigh considerably more than a 44mm one. That weight drives everything else: more robust frames and fixings, hinges rated for the load, and a closer with enough power to close and latch the door without making it too heavy to open. Glazing, if any, must use a 60-minute glass and glazing system from the same test evidence.

Because of this, most FD60 openings are best done as a certified doorset, so the frame and leaf come with matching evidence.

What you get:

• Intumescent and smoke seals as specified
• 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

Which fire door rules apply in Burngreave?

The rules that apply to fire doors in Burngreave are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts.

Where a Burngreave block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.
