Deanta Windsor Black Prefinished FD30 Fire Door 1981mm x 686mm x 45mm

Installation and Fitting

Before installation, inspect the door for any damage in transit and check that your frame opening accommodates the door size plus the 15mm trim allowance on each edge. The door must be hung in a certified fire door frame assembly with appropriate hinges and seals to maintain its FD30 rating. Do not cut or modify the door beyond the stated trim allowance, as this will compromise its fire certification. Ensure the frame is square and plumb using a spirit level, and fit the door with three hinges minimum for this size. All gaps around the perimeter must be sealed with intumescent seals or fire-rated sealant to preserve the fire rating. The door should close smoothly without binding and latch securely.

Suitable Applications and Locations

This FD30 fire door is specifically designed for internal use in kitchens, corridors, and fire-rated zones within buildings. It provides 30 minutes of fire resistance, making it suitable for compartmentalisation in domestic properties and commercial spaces where building regulations require fire safety measures. The prefinished black aesthetic makes it ideal for contemporary interiors and professional environments. Always verify local building regulations and fire safety requirements for your specific application, as FD30 doors are not suitable for external use or areas requiring higher fire ratings.

Maintenance and Care

The prefinished black surface requires minimal maintenance. Wipe down with a soft, dry cloth regularly to maintain appearance. For marks or dust, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap solution, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture that could damage the finish. Periodically check that intumescent seals remain intact and that the door closes properly. Do not paint over the prefinished surface without consulting the manufacturer, as this may affect the fire rating. The door is covered by a 10 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee, which covers manufacturing defects.
