What is an FD60 Fire-Rated Door?
An FD60 fire-rated door is tested to rigorous standards established by the British Woodworking Federation. The FD60 fire rating means that the door is guaranteed to keep fire at bay for a minimum of 60 minutes as long as it has been properly installed in a fire door frame using appropriate CE-marked hinges. It is comprised of a solid core surrounded by a timber veneer, usually oak, ash, walnut or similar hardwood. 60 minute fire doors are much thicker than other internal doors, including many other fire doors. For instance, the average internal door is 35mm in thickness, while most FD30-rated fire doors are 44mm thick. An FD60 fire door is 54mm thick.
This thickness and robust construction prevents heat and smoke from escaping in the event of a fire, containing the fire and preventing it from impinging upon the fire exit.

FD60 White Primed Doors
White primed FD60 fire doors are a great option for those who want to create an airy and spacious feel in their interior design. They have a coat of primer to which white and light colours of paint may be applied. Please note that white primed doors are not recommended for immediate hanging. The primer is less resilient to wear and damage than paint. However, any type of paint can be applied to our fire doors.
FD60 Unfinished Doors
Want to have complete control over the aesthetic of your FD60 fire doors? No problem! We offer a great range of unfinished fire doors for you to stain or paint in any colour or shade you wish.
Do I Need 30 Minute or 60 Minute Fire Rated Doors?
That depends on where they need to be installed. In a private residence, 30 minutes is usually ample time to evacuate the property in the event of a fire. The fire doors keep smoke and flames from impinging on the fire escape route, enabling you and your loved ones to get to safety. FD30-rated fire doors are usually perfectly adequate for such use cases.
However, larger buildings like commercial properties or buildings may require longer to evacuate. Therefore, apartment buildings, public buildings, office buildings, shops, factories and other locations may require FD60-rated fire doors. Please note, these doors must be installed in fire door frames. Fire door installation is best done by a professional to ensure optimum safety and compliance.
