Comprehensive Fire Door Installation Workflow
Every fire door installation is handled in-house by our experienced fire door specialists. The process begins with a structured quotation, detailing the required door sets, installation parameters, and lead times. Once approved, we manage the full supply chain and fitting schedule:
- Prepare itemised quotes tailored to each installation site
- Order all door sets, ironmongery, and fire-rated components directly from trusted suppliers including Pendle Doors, Howdens, Robust Doors, and Defendoor
- Schedule and book installation works to minimise disruption
- Install fire door sets in compliance with manufacturer instructions and EN standards
- Conduct post-installation inspections, checks, and sign-off procedures
Each installation is documented and signed off to satisfy both Building Control and fire safety management documentation standards.
Technical Overview: FD30, FD60, and FD90 Fire Doors
Understanding the technical specifications of different fire door ratings is essential for choosing the correct product for the property and its risk profile.
- FD30 Fire Doors – With a 30-minute fire resistance rating, FD30 fire doors are ideal for residential applications, including flat entrance doors and compartmentation within houses in multiple occupation (HMOs). They are most commonly used in escape corridors, stairwells, and apartment access points.
- FD60 Fire Doors – Designed to withstand fire for up to 60 minutes, FD60 fire doors are well suited to larger commercial buildings and areas housing higher fire load or occupancy. These doors are often required in plant rooms, basements, and areas where evacuation time may be longer.
- FD90 Fire Doors – With 90-minute resistance, FD90 fire doors are used in critical areas of hospitals, industrial facilities, and infrastructure where maximum containment is needed. These doors are heavier and require specialist fitting due to their mass and ironmongery specifications.
Each door set is installed using compatible intumescent seals, self-closing devices, fire-rated glazing (where applicable), and compliant frame systems to ensure performance integrity.
