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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Powder-coated finishes
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
