FIRE RATED DOOR AND FRAME COMPONENTS
As one of the UK’s leading laminate fabricators we have been manufacturing fire doors for many years. Shield® is our registered trademark under which we manufacture Q Mark FD30 and FD60 certified fire doors.
Our route to market is very clear. Our services include the fabrication of supply only fire doors for the commercial, education and healthcare fit-out industries.
Our offer includes high pressure laminate, PVC, and veneer finished blanks as well as high performance postformed leading edges as well as the more traditional exposed or concealed lippings.
The increased capacity and efficiency of our technology allows the use of high performance, reactive PU adhesives for hardwood lippings, which offer a permanent high temperature and water resistant glue line.
Our Q Mark fire doors can be supplied to any stage of production from just a raw door blank that has been faced, right through to a finished fire door; complete with a glazed and beaded vision panel, Intumescent strip, rebate for meeting style and even preparatory machining for hinges or other ironmongery.
FIRE DOOR CONFIGURATIONS
The diagrams below depict the typical door configurations that we can manufacture to Q Mark standards. Door design is an integral part in ensuring your fire door meets your specific needs, so we can always talk through your project and find a design that is best suited. Each configuration can be tailored to FD30 or FD60 rated fire doors ensuring we can always meet your specification requirements.

PVC decorative faces come in a range of finishes to suit differing needs. Smooth for hygiene conscious areas, and a textured finish for areas of high impact, to reduce the appearance of scuffs and scratches. PVC is resistant to most chemicals and staining.

FIRE DOOR INSTALLATION
As a supply only fabricator of fire rated door components it is essential that your team of contractors are certified installers of fire rated door components. the importance with this is that although we supply you with a fire rated door if it is not installed by qualified installers the door will cease to be a fire rated door by building regulation standards. We have provided the Shield: Best Practice Guide which explains in detail the installation of fire doors.
