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:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Powder-coated finishes
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes

Questions
Is Merthyr Tydfil within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Merthyr Tydfil in Mid Glamorgan and neighbouring towns such as Aberdare. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Merthyr Tydfil building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
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.
Do steel fire doors need intumescent seals?
Some steel doorsets use intumescent seals and some do not, depending on how they were tested. The certification sets out exactly what is required.
