Steel fire doors for Canary Wharf buildings
From the E14 postcode district outwards, we take on steel fire doors across Canary Wharf for homes, blocks and workplaces.
In and around Canary Wharf, fire door work covers everything from mixed-use office buildings to clinics. We plan each job around the people who use the building.
For steel fire doors in Canary Wharf we order factory-prepared doorsets so the hardware matches the test evidence exactly. We anchor and seal steel frames in Canary Wharf buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered.
Where steel fire doors are the better choice
Steel doorsets cope with impact, damp and rough handling better than most timber doors. They are a natural fit for plant and boiler rooms, refuse stores, car park lobbies, workshops and warehouses. Many steel doorsets are available in ratings of 60 minutes and beyond where the test evidence supports it, which suits the higher-rated walls around plant spaces.
On a typical job that means:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Powder-coated finishes
