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. Here are some essential components to consider for your 35mm 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 35mm 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 35mm 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.

Maintaining 35mm Internal Fire Doors

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.

35mm Internal Fire Doors For Use In Commercial Buildings

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 35mm fire rated doors can be used, such as in non-critical areas or where local regulations permit their use. To determine if 35mm doors are appropriate for a building, consult the building's fire safety plan, local building codes and professionals to ensure accordance with all regulations.
