Getting steel fire doors right in Cwmbran
Our steel fire doors service covers Cwmbran and the wider Gwent area. Every job starts with a survey of the openings, so the quote reflects your actual doors rather than a guess.
Fire doors in Cwmbran protect escape routes in care homes, family homes after loft conversions and light industrial buildings alike. We adapt the programme to the building and its occupants, never the standard of the installation.
We anchor and seal steel frames in Cwmbran buildings to the manufacturer's instructions and photograph the work before it is covered. Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Cwmbran often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp.
Security and finishes
Steel fire doors can combine fire resistance with security features such as heavier locks and anti-jemmy details, within the evidence. They are usually powder coated in a range of colours, which gives a hard-wearing finish for back-of-house areas.
On a typical job that means:
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Powder-coated finishes

Can steel fire doors be painted?
They are usually supplied powder coated. Repainting on site is possible but must avoid covering seals and labels, and should follow the manufacturer's guidance.
Are steel fire doors better than timber?
Not better, just suited to different places. Steel doors are tougher and resist damp and impact, so they suit plant rooms and industrial areas. Timber doors are more common in residential and office interiors.
