Fixing and buying guide
Traditional Victorian Clear Pine 4 Panel Internal FD30 Fire Door 686mm x 1981mm x 44mm
Who this door is for and where to use it
This fire door is intended for internal use in properties where fire compartmentalisation is a requirement, such as between bedrooms and hallways, or between living areas and escape routes. It is particularly suited to period and traditional properties where the Victorian 4 panel aesthetic matches existing joinery. The FD30 rating means it will maintain integrity and restrict smoke and flame for 30 minutes during a fire, meeting Building Regulations for internal fire doors in many applications. Always check your local Building Control requirements to confirm this door meets your specific installation needs.
- Ideal for period properties and traditional interiors
- Required where fire compartmentalisation is specified
- Suitable for bedrooms, living rooms, and circulation spaces
- Verify compliance with your Building Regulations before purchase
Sizing and compatibility
The door measures 686mm wide by 1981mm tall by 44mm thick, which corresponds to a standard UK internal door size. This width and height fit conventional door frame openings found in most UK properties. The 44mm thickness is standard for internal fire doors and ensures proper fit within typical door linings. Before ordering, measure your existing door opening width and height to confirm this door will fit. Check that your door frame is square and plumb, as any deviation may require adjustment or shimming during installation.

What is included and pre-installation checks
The door is supplied as a solid timber unit in clear pine, ready for hanging into your existing frame. It arrives unfinished, allowing you to sand, stain, or paint it to match your décor. Before installation, inspect the door for any damage in transit and check that it is not warped or twisted by laying it flat on a level surface. Ensure your door frame is in good condition, square, and securely fixed to the wall. The door will require hinges, a latch mechanism, and fire door hardware (such as a self-closing device if required by Building Regulations) to be fitted on site.

Finishing and fire door requirements
As an unfinished clear pine door, you can sand and finish it to your preference using paint, stain, or varnish. Ensure any finish applied does not compromise the fire rating; use only fire-rated paints and finishes if required. Fire doors must be fitted with appropriate hardware including fire-rated hinges and a self-closing device to ensure they close automatically in the event of a fire. Gaps around the door frame must be sealed with fire-rated sealant or intumescent strips to maintain the FD30 rating. Do not drill additional holes or make modifications that could affect fire performance without consulting the manufacturer or Building Control.
- Sand and finish with paint, stain, or varnish as required
- Use fire-rated finishes to maintain FD30 certification
- Install fire-rated hinges and self-closing device
- Seal frame gaps with fire-rated sealant or intumescent strips
