Fire-Rated Glazed Doors: Yate questions
What does FD30 mean on a glazed door?
FD30 is a UK shorthand for a door providing 30 minutes' fire resistance. Under European classification the same door would be described with an E or EI rating, with S added where smoke control is tested.
Can you add glass to my existing fire door?
Cutting new apertures into a fire door is only acceptable when done under the door manufacturer's or certification scheme's instructions. Often a new doorset is the safer answer.
Do you carry out fire-rated glazed doors in Yate?
Yes. We survey and install in Yate and across Gloucestershire, including the BS37 district and nearby Mangotsfield.
How quickly can you survey in Yate?
Survey timing in Yate depends on access, the size of the building and how urgent the defect is. Tell us your deadline when you enquire and we will confirm a date before you commit.
