There are several things we regularly get asked by our customers. They have queries about the style of their door, the energy efficiency, the colour and many more. One topic that doesn’t come up as frequently but is still worth addressing is fire safety. Keeping your home and loved ones safe is vital, so if the absolute worst happens, how fire-resistant are composite doors?
A fire door is one that’s designed to limit the spread of flames from one room to another, allowing the occupants to escape and reducing the damage before the emergency services can respond. Due to their very nature, the majority of fire legislation covers internal doors. After all, it would be less important for an external door to hold back fire because the only place it could go would be outdoors.
That said, our composite doors are highly versatile and while they’re predominantly designed to be external doors, we have several that can be used inside the house. For this reason, we have to keep abreast of fire safety legislation.
Our HomeView Door Designer offers a simple to follow step by step process, enabling you to construct your ideal composite door and see how it looks on your home.
Our composite doors are primarily designed for external use and consequently, if you’re looking for a fully compliant internal fire door, there aren’t as many customisation choices available. However, we still have a wide range of options for you to choose from and give the door a personal touch.
In other words, if you’re looking for fire-resistant doors, we can assist. Endurance composite doors can be adapted for internal use and we will always strive to make the safest, most reliable doors for your home.
