Different Types of Fire Doors — Fire Door Manufacturers

Fire Door Example from Fire Door Manufacturers

Within the realm of fire doors, there are a variety of doors all designed for specific purposes and tested to certain regulations by fire door manufacturers.

As a fire door manufacturer serving Yorkshire and Manchester, our fire doors can be manufactured to FD30, FD60, FD90 and FD120 specifications with paint-grade, veneered, laminate and acronym finishes available.

FD30 Fire Door Manufacturing 

An FD30 fire door means that it offers 30 minutes of fire resistance. It also means that the door and corresponding hardware should have been tested in accordance with the British Standard (BS) BS476: Part 22 1987 — there are alternative European regulations if relevant.

FD60 Fire Doors

Similar to the rule of FD30 fire doors, FD60 fire doors are tested and approved to offer 60 minutes of fire resistance. When the doors are tested, they are fitted as if they were in a real setting to get an accurate analysis of their performance.

FD90 Fire Doors

FD90 fire doors offer 90 minutes of fire containment. Unlike an FD30 fire door which contains a 44mm certified core, an FD90 fire door contains a 64mm certified core. Similar to FD30 and FD60 fire doors, FD90 fire doors are manufactured with intumescent strips as part of their fire protection aid. 

FD120 Fire Doors 

Offering 2 hours of fire protection, FD120 fire doors are not as common as other fire doors. Although they are more commonly found in commercial buildings with a very heavy footfall such as hospitals. 

Fire Door Manufacturing at Pendle Doors

At Pendle Doors, we work closely with Warringtonfire to ensure that all of our bespoke fire doors comply with relevant fire certifications. Part of ensuring they meet fire certifications is ensuring that they are fitted properly. With Warringtonfire, we are constantly looking for ways to improve installation methods to ensure that they always comply with current regulations and to the highest industry standards.

Darwen-based business (Pendle Doors) open the door to a new charity partnership with East Lancashire Hospice

Wednesday 24th November 2021

Darwen based Pendle Doors, a UK door manufacturing company, recently confirmed a new 3-year charity partnership with East Lancashire Hospice

Established in Burnley in the 1950s before relocating to Blackburn in 2007, Pendle Doors is a family-run business employing over 40 members of staff from the local area. 

The decision to commence this exciting new partnership with the hospice came after consultation with Pendle Doors employees, many of whom have first-hand experience of the hospice services and felt passionately about wanting to support East Lancashire Hospice. 

The team are aiming to undertake one fundraising initiative every month and has already had their thinking caps on with ideas such as undertaking a Skydive, joining the hospice lottery and participating in the ‘East Lancashire Hospice 2022 Corporate Challenge’ all on the list.

In addition, company Directors, Steve, Sue, Ryan, Ian and Darran have kindly offered their services to undertake health & safety checks on all fire doors within the hospice building, manufacturing wooden items for use around the hospice, including planters for the garden and donate gifts for fundraising events. All members of staff have also been offered the opportunity to volunteer at the hospice for a day a year, funded by the company.

To further cement the partnership and raise the profile for East Lancashire Hospice in Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley and beyond, Pendle Doors will be adding hospice branding to their company HGV.

Ryan Anderson, Operations Director for Pendle Doors said “Like many local businesses we are proud to be based in East Lancashire and employ a local workforce and as a team we wanted to be able to give something back to the people of our local community.  We are aware that some of our colleagues have been supported by the hospice and when we asked them who they would like us to support, the decision was unanimous!”. 

Katie Elliott, Fundraising and Marketing Lead for East Lancashire Hospice said “We are absolutely delighted that Pendle Doors have chosen to support the hospice by way of a charity partnership.  It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know the team and if our initial discussions are anything to go by, there are exciting times ahead!  From everyone here at the hospice we would like to say a huge thank you to Steve, Sue, Ryan, Ian and the whole team for their support which means so much to us all.

As a leading door manufacturer in the UK, we’re here to not only inform you of the importance of fire doors in terms of safety, but to also ensure that you comply with UK fire safety regulations.

Private/Residential Properties

We recommend installing fire doors in any areas which are most at risk of fire in your private/residential property. Most commonly, a kitchen, or any other room containing a significant amount of electrical equipment and appliances or other flammable items should be enclosed using a fire door.

UK building regulations stipulate that in modern domestic buildings, fire doors are required in buildings with 3 or more storeys as well as in 2 storey properties between the main house and integral garages.

Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs)

HMOs refer to properties that have 3 or more occupants that aren’t a family, such as a block of flats. 

Larger HMOs (3 or more storeys that share amenities) will need to obtain a licence from the Local Council Housing Department to prove that the property meets fire safety standards.

In order to become licenced, fire doors must be fitted in all rooms that lead off the protected route identified by a responsible person. Bathrooms are not included as one of these rooms, however those with electric heaters or gas boilers present may require a fire door.

Commercial Properties

A detailed fire risk assessment is required in all commercial properties to determine how to minimise and eliminate risks. 

A safe route must be created so that in the event of a fire, any person in the affected area is able to escape quickly and easily. Fire doors then need to be installed to isolate this area, as well as installing other suitable fire detection equipment such as smoke detectors.

Determining the safe route will be carried out by someone who must also provide fire signage and notices, emergency lighting as well as necessary fire fighting equipment.

All modern commercial properties now have fire doors fitted as standard due to extensive building regulations that have been put in place in the UK. 

After Your Fire Doors Are Fitted

Your fire doors should always be installed by accredited installers (Q Mark / Firas) who have the correct Certification to back this up, they must also be regularly inspected and maintained in order to prevent any damage that may occur over time, ensuring that they continue to perform to the highest standard.

At Pendle Doors, our fire doors can be manufactured to FD30, FD60, FD90 and FD120 specifications and are available in paint grade, veneered, laminates

We hold Primary test evidence and are able to offer fully pre-hung Doorsets together with factory-fitted suites of ironmongery working in line with all our fire certifications.

For all residential, HMO and commercial enquiries, get in touch with our team of experts.

Fire doors are extremely important, they will prevent a fire or smoke from spreading across a building. They also keep the fire contained, this gives anyone the chance to get out and the fire service to put the fire out before it becomes out of control. In short, fire doors save lives.

Pendle manufactures fire doors in our manufacturing facility in Manchester, and they go through a rigorous testing process. This is essential to the safety of everyone where the fire door is installed. Fire Doors that meet UK regulations save lives.

Our fire doors can be manufactured to FD30, FD60, FD90 and FD120 but what does this mean? The 30, 60, 90, and 120 are the minutes of fire protection that the door provides.
If for example, you are in an NHS building the fire doors within the NHS will hold back the spread of a fire for a minimum of 30 minutes. Manufactured Fire Doors for the NHS are vital to protect patients, staff, visitors, equipment and the building.

If you are working with the healthcare industry the fire doors are a critical safety feature, they maximise the time for occupants to evacuate to a safety point.

Any environments are tough on doors but in particular the healthcare sector. These doors have people coming through them all day, every day and damage will happen. Anything from a crack, to a dent can prevent the fire door from being as effective. These damages can also hold germs and compromise the hygiene in a healthcare setting.

If you have fire doors that need to be repaired or replaced then you can contact us by calling 01254 870850.

Also, remember the below rules:

During last year’s fire door safety week The British Woodworking Federation released the following 5 steps to check a fire door is safety compliant.

  • Look for labels or markings that show the door is third-party certificated and has traceability back to the original manufacturer.
  • Check that the door is marked correctly with the appropriate signage and that it closes tightly against the frame.
  • Ensure that the door or frame has the fire and smoke seal and that the door closes correctly with an even gap all-around of about 3mm.
  • Check the fire-rated hinges are fitted firmly in the door and that there are no missing screws.
  • Make sure the door is not damaged or ever wedged or propped open.

That are common requirements which you will find in medical environments, such as hospitals, medical centres, and private healthcare https://findsildenafilgeneric.com/ facilities.

We have to consider various challenges within the healthcare design such as Access Control, Privacy, Emergency Release and Hygiene. Above all, the doors must be Severe Duty to withstand the daily wear and tear of a fast-paced challenging environment.
