We are pleased to announce that as of week ending 29^th January we have successfully passed the EN1634, dual directional FD30 firedoor testing for our new Composite faced firedoor. We decided to test a door with a heavy duty timber core door rather than the foam filled option, along with a hardwood timber frame.

All doorsets tested, stood up to the rigours of the more stringent EN 1634 fire resistance and smoke control tests with consistent overruns that hit a maximum of 69 minutes. These were tested dual-directionally to meet the requirements of the MHCLG and were tested in a variety of sizes to ensure the consistency of the product throughout the test schedule. 

Doorset specification

• Heavy-duty solid timber door core
• GRP low maintenance door faces, offering a more robust option for a lower maintenance requirement. 
• Automatic multipoint locking system tested to 50,000 cycles, Grade 5 corrosion resistance and PAS24 tested
• Slimline TS008 letter plate tested to 20,000 cycles featuring restricted opening to protect against key fishing and lock manipulation
• 3* SBD kitemarked Thumbturn cylinder 
• Heavy-duty grade 13 stainless steel hinges
• Choice of RAL colours for doors and frames

Using a hardwood doorframe offers the client assurance of performance from both a security and fire performance perspective and also enables the resident to have the maximum door size due to the slimmer sightlines on the frame section, compared to a typical Upvc frame.
