Fire doors play a crucial role in the fire safety of any commercial building. They are not just ordinary doors because they are specifically designed to save lives and limit property damage. Properly installed fire doors are essential for this protection to work. Apex Plus specialises in certified fire door installation for commercial properties throughout the UK. We bring years of experience and a commitment to full compliance with all regulations.

Why Properly Installed Fire Doors are Essential for Your Commercial Property

Fire doors provide critical evacuation time in the event of a fire. They are designed to prevent the spread of smoke and flames, containing the fire and limiting damage to other parts of the building. Unlike regular doors, fire doors are built with specific materials and construction techniques to resist fire for a specified period, typically 30 or 60 minutes, and sometimes longer. UK law requires businesses to meet strict fire safety standards, and this includes correctly installed and maintained fire doors.

Key Considerations for Commercial Fire Door Installation

Several factors are critical for making sure your fire doors function correctly:

  • Certification: Fire doors must have certification stickers, demonstrating they meet specific standards (like BS 476 or BS EN 1634-1).
  • CE Marking: All hardware components, including hinges, locks, closers, and latches, must have a CE mark.
  • Correct Specification: Choosing the right fire door rating (FD30, FD60, etc.) is vital, and it depends on your building’s specific requirements.
  • Compatible Door Frames: The door frame must be correctly fitted and compatible with the fire door.
  • Precise Gap Tolerances: The gaps around the fire door must be within strict limits – typically 2-4mm, with a maximum of 8mm at the threshold. These precise gaps are essential to prevent smoke and flames from spreading.

It’s a concern that 76% of fire doors inspected in 2019 failed, often due to issues like excessive gaps and smoke sealing problems, and 30% were condemned due to poor installation.
