FAQs

What is FD30 certification?

FD30 certification means the door is tested and proven to resist fire for a minimum of 30 minutes, providing crucial escape time in the event of a fire.

Can I paint or varnish this door?

The door comes pre-finished in a natural oak veneer. While it is possible to apply further finishes, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure fire integrity is not compromised.

How much can I trim from the edges of the door?

To maintain the fire rating, it is advised to trim no more than 3mm from any single edge. Always consult the manufacturer's specific trimming recommendations.

Is this door suitable for bathrooms?

While suitable for internal use, its use in very humid environments like bathrooms should be carefully considered. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid excessive moisture, which can affect the wood veneer over time.

What type of hinges should I use?

Due to the solid engineered core, it is recommended to use robust, good-quality hinges that can support the weight of the door. Fire-rated hinges may be required depending on the installation.

Do I need a special frame for this fire door?

For optimal fire safety performance, it is highly recommended to install the fire door within a fire-rated door frame, especially if it is part of a fire-resisting structure.

How do I clean the etched glass panels?

Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the etching.

Troubleshooting

Door does not hang straight.

Check the door frame for squareness and plumbness. Ensure hinges are correctly installed and suitable for the door's weight. Minor adjustments may be possible with hinge alignment.

Veneer is scratched or damaged.

For minor scratches, a wood repair kit designed for oak veneer may be used. Prevention is key; handle the door with care during and after installation.

Gaps around the door frame are too large.

Ensure the door frame is correctly sized for the door. For fire doors, gaps should be filled according to fire safety regulations, typically with intumescent sealant or strips.

Glass panels appear cloudy.

Ensure the glass cleaner used is appropriate for etched glass and that a soft, lint-free cloth is used for cleaning.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Acclimatization: Allow the door to acclimatize to the room's conditions for at least 48-72 hours before installation. Store it flat in a dry environment.
  2. Fitting: Trim the door edges sparingly, no more than 3mm from any edge, to maintain the integrity of the fire rating. Ensure the frame is plumb and square. Use appropriate hinges suitable for the weight of a solid-core door.
  3. Ironmongery: Install hardware such as handles and locks carefully, ensuring not to penetrate the door beyond the recommended depth, especially around the glass panels.

Compatibility:

  • This door is designed for internal use only.
  • It requires a suitably constructed and prepared door frame, often a fire-rated frame if installed in a fire-resisting wall.
  • Ensure all ironmongery and intumescent strips are compatible with fire doors.

Care:

  • Clean the oak veneer with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
  • For glass panels, use a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth.
  • Periodically check that hinges and hardware remain secure.
