Fire Door Installation in Kent: questions
Do you provide paperwork?
Yes. You receive the product's certification or test evidence, an installation record and photographs for each door.
What do FD30 and FD60 mean?
They describe how long the door is designed to resist fire in a test: 30 or 60 minutes. An S after the rating, such as FD30S, means the door also controls the passage of cold smoke.
