For many building owners and managers, safety sits at the top of the list of priorities for the new year. As we move into 2026, internal fire doors remain a key part of protecting people and property.
At Pendle Doors, we work with customers across Greater Manchester and the UK who want practical, reliable fire protection. Our focus stays firmly on performance, testing and real-world use.
Buildings change over time, as usage increases and layouts adapt. These changes place extra demands on internal fire doors, especially in offices, apartment blocks, schools, and healthcare settings.
Fire rated doors help slow the spread of fire and smoke. This gives people more time to move to safety and helps protect key escape routes. In busy buildings, that extra time can make a real difference.
Starting the year by reviewing your fire door provision helps avoid rushed decisions later. It also supports a safer environment for staff, residents, and visitors throughout the year.
Proper fire door sets include the door, frame, seals, and compatible hardware. Each element plays a role in how the door performs during a fire.
When these components work together, the door can resist fire for its tested time period. If one part fails, overall performance suffers. That is why complete doorsets matter, especially in high-use internal areas.
At Pendle Doors, we manufacture fully tested fire door sets, designed for internal use across a wide range of building types. We supply solutions that suit real working environments.
All our fire rated doors are tested to recognised British and European standards. These tests expose complete door assemblies to controlled fire conditions.
Testing shows how a door behaves under heat, pressure, and smoke. It confirms that the door holds its integrity for the required time. This gives confidence that the door will perform as intended if the worst happens.
Which rating do I need?
This depends on where the door sits within the building. Internal office doors often require FD30, whilst corridors and stairwells may need FD60.
Can fire doors handle daily wear?
Yes, when designed properly. Our doors use durable core materials that suit high-traffic internal areas.
