What steel fire doors in Banstead should include
If you need steel fire doors in Banstead, we can survey, supply and install, then leave you the evidence your fire risk assessor will ask for.
Buildings in and around Banstead range from small offices to family homes after loft conversions and care homes. 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 Banstead often call for steel doorsets that can take knocks and damp. We anchor and seal steel frames in Banstead 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.
As standard, the work covers:
- Frame anchoring and gap sealing to instructions
- Single and double steel doorsets
- Factory-prepared hinges and hardware
- Ratings to suit the wall, including 60 minutes
