The only aspect of a fire door that is as important as the installation of the door is the specification of the door. The fire door installation should only be completed by a skilled and knowledgeable professional. This professional should be thoroughly trained on how to properly install these doors and understand the importance of making sure the installation is done right the first time.
Any fire doors that are not installed correctly and/or with the wrong components will have an invalid certification. They will also pose as a fire hazard instead of a fire deterrent.

Fire doors are typically solid core construction using solid wood to make the bulk of the door. Because of their makeup, they are heavy and they are thick too, averaging 10mm thicker than regular internal doors.
Fire door systems are made of fire doors, fire-rated frames, fire-rated hinges, fire-rated handles and intumescent smoke seals. These seals expand when they get hot and prevent smoke from travelling from one room to the next.
Fire doors can be painted with regular paint but it’s advised that this isn’t excessively thick and that if the door is re-painted that there aren’t lots of paint coats. Fire door hardware, like hinges, handles, and fire seals shouldn’t be painted. You can get fire rated paint from most good paint suppliers but any paint will be fine as long as it adheres to the above points. Our guide let’s you know the best method for painting a door frame, avoiding the smoke seals.
