Fixing and buying guide

Who this door is for

This door is suitable for builders, contractors, and serious DIY customers installing internal doors in properties where FD30 fire rating is required by building regulations. It works well in domestic homes, flats, and commercial buildings where fire safety compliance is necessary. The textured finish and moulded panel design offer a quality appearance at a competitive price point compared to solid timber alternatives.

Sizing and compatibility

This door measures 711mm wide by 1981mm high by 44mm thick, which is a standard UK internal door size. Before ordering, confirm your door opening dimensions and check that your frame is suitable for a 44mm thick door. The 711mm width is a single-leaf door size; if you need a wider opening, you will require two doors or a different product. Verify that your existing frame or new frame installation can accommodate these exact dimensions, allowing for proper fitting and operation.

Preparation and finishing

The door arrives with a white base coat applied to all surfaces. Before installation, inspect the door for any damage in transit. The textured faces are ready for on-site painting; you can apply your chosen finish directly over the base coat. Ensure the door is stored flat and in dry conditions before fitting. Allow adequate drying time for any paint or finish you apply before hanging the door in its frame.

• Check door condition on delivery
• Store flat and keep dry before installation
• Paint or finish on-site to your specification
• Allow paint to dry fully before hanging

Fire rating and building regulations

This door carries FD30 fire rating certification, meaning it will maintain integrity and restrict smoke passage for 30 minutes in a fire. This rating satisfies building regulation requirements for internal doors in many domestic and commercial applications. Confirm with your building control officer or architect that FD30 is the correct rating for your specific installation, as some applications may require FD60 or other specifications. Ensure the door is installed with appropriate fire-rated hinges and hardware to maintain the fire rating.
