How and where to use guide
Deanta Windsor Black Prefinished FD30 Fire Door 2040mm x 826mm x 45mm
Typical applications and installation locations
Install this FD30 fire door in internal locations where fire separation is required by building regulations. Common applications include kitchen doorways in residential properties, corridor doors in multi-unit buildings, and access doors to plant rooms or utility areas. The door is certified for internal use only and must be fitted within a suitable fire-rated frame assembly. Ensure the door is installed in a location where it can swing freely without obstruction, as fire doors must close automatically to function effectively. The prefinished black surface makes it suitable for contemporary and traditional interiors.
- Kitchens and cooking areas in residential properties
- Corridor doors in flats, apartments, and commercial buildings
- Fire-rated separation between occupied spaces and risk areas
- Internal doorways where building regulations mandate FD30 protection
Installation and fitting guidance
The door is supplied with a 15mm trim allowance on each edge, totalling 30mm overall, to accommodate variations in frame dimensions and allow for accurate fitting. Measure your door opening carefully and ensure the frame is square and level before installation. The door should be hung using three hinges minimum and fitted with an automatic closing device to ensure it closes fully in the event of fire. Do not reduce the door thickness or remove material from the core, as this will compromise the FD30 fire rating. Fit the door using appropriate fire-rated hinges and hardware specified for FD30 doors.
- Check door opening dimensions and allow for the 15mm trim per edge
- Ensure frame is square, level, and properly secured
- Use fire-rated hinges and closing mechanisms suitable for FD30 doors
- Do not cut, drill, or modify the door core as this voids the fire rating
- Seal gaps around the frame with fire-rated sealant where required
Maintenance and care
The prefinished black surface requires minimal maintenance. Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and marks. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or solvents that may damage the finish. Check the automatic closing mechanism regularly to ensure it operates smoothly and closes the door fully. Inspect hinges and hardware periodically for signs of wear or corrosion, particularly in damp environments such as kitchens. The door is backed by a 10 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
- Clean the prefinished surface with a soft, damp cloth only
- Test the automatic closing device monthly to confirm proper operation
- Check hinges and hardware for wear, especially in kitchens or wet areas
- Do not paint over or sand the prefinished finish
- Keep the door clear of obstructions to allow full closure
