Steel fire doors in Colne: what's involved
For property owners, landlords and managing agents in Colne, we offer steel fire doors with one team for the survey, the product and the installation.
Buildings in and around Colne range from family homes after loft conversions to small blocks of flats and schools. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
Plant rooms, bin stores and warehouses in and around Colne often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Colne 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.
What you get:
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Locks, closers and panic hardware as specified
- Powder-coated finishes
