Fire-Rated Door Installations in London
Fire safety is paramount in any building, and the correct installation of fire-rated doors is a critical component of a comprehensive fire protection strategy. Golden Ratio Windows provides expert fire-rated door installation services across London, ensuring the highest standards of safety and compliance.
Understanding the Importance of Fire-Rated Doors
FD30 & FD60 Standards
Certified resistance for 30 or 60 minutes, giving occupants vital time and ensuring full compliance with current UK Fire Safety Order 2005.
Intumescent Technology
Precision-fitted heat-expanding seals that swell in fire conditions to block the passage of lethal smoke and toxic gases.
Certified Ironmongery
