FAQs

What does FD30 fire certification mean?

FD30 certification means the door is designed and tested to provide 30 minutes of fire resistance, protecting against the spread of fire for that duration.

Can I hang this door on standard hinges?

No, for the FD30 certification to be valid, the door must be installed with certified fire-rated hinges and other specified hardware. Always consult the installation guidelines.

How do I achieve the desired finish on the door?

The door is supplied unfinished. You can apply stains, varnishes, or paints of your choice. Always test the finish on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What are the benefits of the solid core construction?

The solid core provides enhanced sound insulation, better heat retention, and a more robust feel compared to hollow-core doors.

Are the fire-rated linings and hardware included?

No, the fire door is supplied on its own. The fire-rated linings, hardware (hinges, locks, etc.), and installation must be sourced and completed separately according to fire safety standards.

Can this door be used as an exterior door?

This door is designed as an internal fire door and is not intended for exterior use. Exposure to weather elements can damage the material and compromise its performance.

Troubleshooting

Door does not close properly

Check for obstructions, ensure hinges are correctly installed and adjusted, and verify the frame is square and plumb. Minor adjustments to hinges may be required.

Finishing (stain/paint) does not adhere well

Ensure the door surface is clean, dry, and properly sanded before application. Use a primer suitable for unfinished oak if necessary.

Reduced sound insulation

Verify that the door seals correctly within the frame and that no gaps exist. Ensure all hardware is tightly secured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This fire door is supplied unfinished. Before installation, plan your finishing process. Ensure the door is acclimatized to the environment. Sand lightly if needed before applying your chosen stain, varnish, or paint. For fire certification, it is crucial to use fire-rated hinges, locks, and linings as specified by the manufacturer and relevant building regulations.

Compatibility: The door is designed to fit standard door frames, but check precise dimensions against your existing frame. Ensure all ironmongery used is compatible with fire doors and certified for FD30 use.

Care: Clean the door with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For painted or stained finishes, follow the care instructions for the specific finish applied.
