Integral garage fire doors in Whitefield, done to the evidence
If you need integral garage fire doors in Whitefield, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Whitefield has a broad mix of buildings, including small offices, light industrial buildings and small blocks of flats, and the same fire door principles apply to all of them.
For homes in Whitefield with an integral garage, the door into the house is one of the few internal doors expected to be fire-rated and self-closing. We fit garage fire doors in Whitefield with closers set to shut gently, so they work without slamming.
What we fit
We fit a certified FD30S doorset or leaf with intumescent and smoke seals, a self-closer set to close and latch the door without slamming, and a threshold detail that keeps the smoke seal effective. We can match the style of your other internal doors where the certified range allows.
Each installation includes:
- Intumescent and smoke seals
- Survey of the opening, threshold and step
- Certified FD30S door or doorset
- Self-closer set gently but positively
