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.
What the rules say for Gwynedd
Gwynedd 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.

Common questions
Do you provide steel fire doors across Gwynedd?
Yes. We cover all of Gwynedd. Surveys and written quotes are free.
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.
