Deanta Windsor Black Prefinished FD30 Fire Door 1981mm x 762mm x 45mm
Typical applications and locations
This FD30 fire door is suitable for internal use in kitchens, corridors, and designated fire zones within residential and commercial properties. It provides a 30-minute fire resistance barrier and should be installed between occupied spaces and escape routes, or between areas where fire risk is elevated. The prefinished black colour and bevelled panel design make it appropriate for contemporary and traditional interiors where fire safety and aesthetic consistency are required.
- Kitchen doorways to separate cooking areas from living spaces
- Corridor doors in multi-occupancy buildings
- Fire zone separations within commercial premises
- Any internal location where building regulations require FD30 fire-rated doors
Installation and fitting
The door is supplied with a 15mm trim allowance on each edge (30mm total), providing flexibility for accurate installation into your prepared opening. Measure your door frame opening carefully and ensure it is square and level before fitting. The door must be hung using fire-rated hinges and hardware specified for FD30 doors to maintain its fire certification. Install the door with appropriate fire-rated door seals and closers as required by building regulations. Do not cut or modify the door beyond the specified trim allowance, as this may compromise its fire rating.
- Check door frame is square, level, and within tolerance before installation
- Use only fire-rated hinges and hardware certified for FD30 doors
- Install fire-rated door seals around the frame perimeter
- Fit an appropriate fire-rated door closer to ensure the door closes fully
- Do not exceed the 15mm per edge trim allowance when fitting
Maintenance and care
The prefinished black surface requires minimal maintenance to preserve its appearance and protective qualities. Regular light dusting with a soft, dry cloth will keep the door clean. For marks or stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish. Periodically check that the door closes properly and that seals remain intact. Ensure the fire-rated closer and hinges operate smoothly and are not obstructed.
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth
