35mm Fire Doors

More about the 35mm Fire Doors Collection

Fire doors play a critical role in slowing down the spread of fire and smoke within a building, providing occupants with valuable time to evacuate safely. Internal fire doors are specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent the rapid spread of flames between rooms, ensuring optimal protection for your home and loved ones. We have a fantastic range of internal fire doors in stock from Climadoor.

A Closer Look at Space-Saving and Safe Design

When it comes to fire doors, the thickness of the door is a crucial factor in determining its fire-resistance rating. Most fire rated doors are 44mm thick, but if you're replacing older doors, frames may not be suitable for this thickness. These slimmer build doors have been carefully designed to offer fire safety with a narrower profile. 

All our slimline fire doors are FD30 rated, which means they can prevent the spread of fire for 30 minutes.

Our fire doors offer a range of features such as:

• Certified fire-resistance rating, ensuring compliance with building regulations for maximum protection
• Robust and durable construction using high-quality materials
• A narrow profile to fit in standard sized door frames
• A variety of designs and finishes to suit various styles and décor preferences
• Enhanced soundproofing capabilities

Choosing the Right Option for Your Home

With a plethora of options available in the market, it can be challenging to select the perfect fire door for your home. Here at Vivid, we have fire doors in various finishes and designs, from contemporary doors to those with a more traditional appearance, all manufactured to the highest quality. Internal fire doors are manufactured using various types of wood to cater to different design preferences and budgets.

Oak

Oak is a popular choice for its durability, strength, and attractive grain patterns. It provides a timeless and elegant appearance that suits both traditional and contemporary settings. Oak fire doors can be finished with stains, varnishes, or paints to enhance their natural beauty.

Engineered Wood

Engineered wood doors are made by combining layers of solid wood or wood veneers with high-density cores to create a solid construction. This construction method offers increased stability, resistance to warping, and cost-effectiveness while still providing the appearance of solid wood.

Frames & Accessories For Internal Fire Doors

When installing 35mm fire doors, it is crucial to use appropriate frames and accessories to maintain the door's fire-resistant integrity and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations. Whilst they are sized to suit standard frames, you'll still need fire rated options to ensure the door performs its vital safety function. Here are some essential components to consider for your fire door installation:

Door Frames

A fire-rated door frame, often made from hardwood or steel, is designed to withstand high temperatures and complement the fire door's performance. The frame should have a fire resistance rating that matches or exceeds that of the door itself.

Intumescent Strips

Intumescent strips are essential for sealing the gaps between the door and the frame in the event of a fire. These strips expand when exposed to heat, closing any gaps and preventing the spread of fire and smoke. It is important to use the correct size and type of intumescent strip specified for your fire door.

Hinges

Standard hinges may not withstand high temperatures during a fire, compromising the door's fire resistance. Use fire-rated hinges, typically made from steel or brass, that have been tested to perform under high temperatures and meet the required fire safety standards.

Hardware

Door hardware, such as handles, locks, and closers, should also be fire-rated to ensure their functionality during a fire. Using non-fire-rated hardware can weaken the overall fire resistance of the door assembly.

Glazing

If your fire door features any glass panels, ensure the glazing is fire-rated and compatible with the door's resistance rating. Fire-rated glazing is designed to resist heat at high temperatures.

Care and Maintenance: Keeping Internal Safety Systems Compliant and Functional

All fire doors require regular maintenance to ensure their long-term performance, functionality and compliance with fire regulations. Once installed, proper maintenance helps to identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems.

It is important to routinely inspect the surface of the fire door, its edges and frame for signs of damage, warping, or wear - as this is a key factor in the door being able to withstand fire. Check for gaps between the door and the frame, which should not exceed the recommended tolerances. Make sure the fire door closes securely and forms a tight seal with the frame.

Examine all door hardware, such as hinges, handles, locks and closers, for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that hinges are securely fastened and lubricated and that locks and handles operate smoothly.

Inspect the intumescent strips and smoke seals for damage or wear. Replace any damaged or worn-out seals to maintain the door's fire and smoke resistance.

Test the door's operation by opening and closing it to ensure it moves smoothly without binding or scraping. If the fire door has a self-closing mechanism, verify that it closes securely and without obstruction.

If the door features glazing, inspect the glass panels for cracks or other damage. Ensure that the glazing beads and seals are in good condition and securely fitted.

Address any identified issues with your fire door promptly, using compatible replacement parts and following the manufacturer's guidelines. If you're unsure about the necessary repairs or adjustments, consult a professional carpenter or door installer.

Slimline Safety Solutions for Commercial Interiors

Using 35mm fire rated doors in non-residential buildings, like offices, depends on the specific building regulations, safety requirements and the intended application of the doors within the premises. In many cases, commercial buildings have stricter safety regulations than residential properties, which may require fire doors with a 44mm or even 54mm (FD60 Rated) thickness. This increase in mm to 44 or 54mm offers greater fire resistance (typically 60 minutes or more) compared to the 35mm internal fire doors, which usually have a 30-minute (FD30 fire-resistance) rating.

However, there may be situations in which slimmer fire rated doors can be used, such as in non-critical areas or where local regulations permit their use. To determine if they are appropriate for a building, consult the building's fire safety plan, local building codes and professionals to ensure accordance with all regulations.
