A fire door is a specially designed door that helps prevent the spread of fire and smoke for a set period, allowing people to evacuate safely. At One Stop Joinery we supply 30- and 60-Minutes Fire resistant door sets.
Fire doors are required in buildings where fire safety regulations apply, such as commercial buildings, multi-occupancy residences, and areas leading to escape routes.
Fire doors are typically made from solid-core materials such as timber, steel, or composite materials, often with fire-resistant glazing and intumescent seals to prevent fire and smoke from spreading.
A fire door works by containing fire and smoke within a compartment. When properly installed with intumescent seals, it expands in heat to block gaps, stopping fire and smoke from spreading.
Fire doors usually have certification labels, intumescent strips on the edges, fire-resistant glazing, and self-closing mechanisms. Our Fire Doors have several plastic plugs under the top hinge on the door and frame. (see BMTrada Q-Mark Plugging Details)
Fire doors are required in commercial buildings, high-risk areas such as kitchens, stairwells, corridors, and multi-occupancy buildings, including flats and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs).
Fire doors should be inspected regularly, typically every six months, to ensure they remain in good working condition. High-use doors may need more frequent checks.
Yes, fire doors are often required inside flats, especially for entrances, escape routes, and between high-risk areas like kitchens and living spaces.
Fire doors must be installed by a competent person to meet fire safety standards. Incorrect installation can make them ineffective. At One Stop Joinery we have access to Qualified Installing companies that will fit your new fire resistant door set.
Fire doors should not be locked in a way that prevents emergency exit. However, they can have self-latching mechanisms or panic bars for security while allowing quick escape. They may e locked if they are a Front Door to a property or are access to an electrical cupboard.
