FD60 Fire Doors

The Express Doors Direct FD60 Fire Doors Range

How thick are FD60 doors?

To provide adequate fire protection, an FD60 fire door is usually 54mm wide. Compared to standard sizes for internal doors, this is thicker to keep a blaze at bay for longer.

Specifications

There are certain other specifications you can always expect from an FD60 fire door leaf. These include:

• A 54mm wide certified core
• BSI standard
• Intumescent strips included in the door or frame
• Certified glazing

Do I need FD60 fire door frames?

Yes, an FD60 door needs a frame that has been tested and certified as part of the same 60-minute fire-rated assembly, not a standard door lining.

• FD60 frames are built from timber sections thick enough to hold intumescent seals and resist burn-through for 60 minutes.
• Mixing a certified door leaf with an uncertified frame invalidates the fire rating of the whole set.

How do they provide fire protection?

The materials, thickness and intumescent strips all play their part in fire protection. These all combine to stand up to heat for longer than a standard internal door and stop the spread of fire. An FD60 door is designed to give twice the protection of an FD30 fire door, so you're safer for longer in the event of a fire.

How can you tell if a door is FD60?

Certified FD60 interior fire doors will have a label including a circled UL or WH on the top or hinge side of the door. This indicates that they have achieved the appropriate fire rating.

Internal Fire Doors: Types & Styles

Just like the rest of our internal doors, you can choose a fire door in a wide variety of styles. Check out our extensive range of competitively priced doors to find the style to suit your property. Here are some of our most popular fire door options:

Oak

Oak internal doors are extremely popular and many of the same styles are also available as fire-rated doors. An oak veneer door can provide the appearance of natural oak to tie in with other home decor.

Hardwood

Hardwood doors make ideal fire doors. Whether finished with a real wood veneer or laminate, you can get the look you're after.

Glazed

It might surprise you to know that FD60 rated doors can include glass. As fire doors should remain closed, this is ideal for maintaining the light flow between rooms. There are a wide range of FD60 fire doors with vision panels, with many more available upon request.

Finishes

Just like the rest of our internal doors range, our fire doors are available unfinished, primed and fully finished. We have a selection of colours available but your fire doors can also be painted to suit your decor.

From traditional to contemporary, there's a fire door to help your house look its best. You can protect residents from a fire without sacrificing style.
