FD60 fire doors in Gorseinon, SA4

FD60 fire doors in Gorseinon, done to the evidence

For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Gorseinon, we offer FD60 fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.

Buildings in and around Gorseinon range from schools to small blocks of flats and houses with integral garages. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.

For FD60 work in Gorseinon we generally fit certified doorsets, so frame and leaf share the same test evidence. FD60 openings in Gorseinon 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.

As standard, the work covers:

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

Which fire door rules apply in Gorseinon?

Gorseinon is in Wales, where new and replacement fire doors are covered by the Building Regulations 2010 as applied in Wales, with the Welsh Approved Document B as guidance. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies, so responsible persons in workplaces and the common parts of blocks must keep fire doors maintained.

One difference from England: regulation 10 of the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, with its quarterly and annual fire door checks, does not apply in Wales. Your fire risk assessment sets the checking regime instead, and we work to it.
