FD60 Fire Doors Installation
Regardless of the quality of the fire door, if it is installed incorrectly, then it will not perform its safety functions in the event of a fire outbreak. One hour fire doors will resist all fire elements for up to sixty minutes – but this is dependent upon being properly installed with the other relevant fire door features such as intumescent seals, fire-rated hardware, and door closers. Regular fire door inspections MUST be performed to ensure ongoing fire protection.
Where 1 Hour Fire Doors Are Needed
Fire doors are manufactured in different levels of fire resistance – an FD60 door will typically be required in larger areas within buildings such as an office that
houses over 300 people, or environments that may take longer to evacuate in the event of a fire outbreak occurrence. As stated earlier, all common areas of public buildings and developments such as houses of multiple occupation (HMO’s) and residential flats would benefit from 1 hour fire doors being installed, as opposed to the FD30 doors that only provide half the time element of protection.
Fire door specifications
Aside from offering 60 minutes of fire resistance, there are specifications an FD60 door must have. Firstly they must be 54m certified core and meet standards set by the BSI, there has to be intumescent strips in either the door or the frame, the FD60 door must also be available as a pre hung assembly and it needs to have certified glazing (insulating/non-insulating).
