Three Manufactured FD30(S) and FD60(S) Fire Door Sets Installed at a Southampton Site

CFP Carpentry & Fire Prevention recently completed the installation of three new manufactured fire door sets at a site in Southampton.

The works included the installation of two FD30(S) fire door sets and one FD60(S) fire door set to a fuel room. Each door set was installed in line with the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the door, frame, ironmongery and seals were fitted as a complete fire door assembly.

This type of installation is important because a fire door is not just the door leaf itself. The frame, hinges, seals, closer, signage and final fitting all need to work together for the door set to perform correctly.

CFP provides professional fire door installation, fire door remedial works and fire door surveys for commercial, residential and managed properties across the South.

FD30(S) and FD60(S) Fire Door Sets Installed

For this Southampton project, the site required a combination of FD30(S) and FD60(S) fire door sets. Two FD30(S) doors were installed, along with one FD60(S) fire door set to a fuel room where a higher level of fire resistance was required.

FD30 and FD60 fire doors are designed for different levels of fire resistance, so it is important that the correct specification is used for each area of the building. You can read more about the differences between these ratings in our guide to FD30 and FD60 fire door specifications.

Installed in Line With Manufacturer Instructions

All three manufactured door sets were installed following the manufacturer’s instructions. This helps ensure the doors are fitted correctly as tested systems, rather than being treated as individual components.

During installation, attention was given to the door frames, hinges, intumescent and smoke seals, door closers, handles, latches and final operation of each door set.

Fire Door Installation for Plant, Service and Fuel Rooms

Fuel rooms, plant rooms and service areas can require carefully specified fire doors due to the risks associated with the space. A correctly installed fire door set helps protect escape routes, support compartmentation and reduce the spread of fire and smoke through the building.

On this project, the FD60(S) door set was installed to the fuel room, while the additional FD30(S) door sets were fitted elsewhere on site. Each door was completed with the required hardware and checked after fitting.

Complete Fire Door Set Installation

This Southampton project shows the importance of installing fire doors as complete door sets. The door leaf, frame, closer, hinges, seals and ironmongery all play a role in how the fire door performs.

By fitting two FD30(S) fire door sets and one FD60(S) fire door set in line with the manufacturer’s instructions, CFP helped the site improve its fire door provision and ensure the correct specification was used for each area.
