Fixing and buying guide

Who this door is for

This door suits builders, contractors, and serious DIY customers installing fire-rated internal doors in residential or commercial properties. It is ideal where FD30 fire safety performance is a regulatory requirement and you want a traditional panel appearance without the cost of solid timber alternatives. The textured base coat finish appeals to those who prefer flexibility in final decoration and colour choice on site.

Sizing and compatibility

The door measures 762mm wide by 1981mm tall by 44mm thick, fitting standard UK internal door frame openings. Before purchase, confirm your frame opening dimensions match these specifications. The 44mm thickness is compatible with standard UK door frames and hinges. Check that your frame is square and plumb, and that the opening is free from obstructions. You will need to supply your own hinges, latch hardware, and frame if not already in place.

• Width: 762mm (standard single door width)
• Height: 1981mm (standard UK internal door height)
• Thickness: 44mm solid construction
• Verify frame opening is square and true before installation

Fire rating and compliance

This door carries FD30 fire rating, meaning it will resist the spread of fire and smoke for 30 minutes when installed correctly in an appropriate fire-rated frame and with fire-rated hardware. FD30 doors are commonly required in escape routes, communal hallways, and areas specified by building regulations. Ensure your frame, hinges, and latch hardware are also fire-rated and compatible with FD30 performance. Installation must follow manufacturer guidance and building regulations to maintain the fire rating.

Finish and preparation

The door arrives with a white base coat textured facing on both sides, ready for on-site painting. The textured surface provides good paint adhesion and helps conceal minor imperfections. Before painting, inspect the door for any damage in transit, allow it to acclimatise to site conditions for 48 hours, and lightly sand if required for a smooth finish. Use quality interior paint suitable for moulded doors, and apply primer if changing to a dark colour. The textured finish allows flexibility in your final colour choice.

• White base coat textured facings ready for painting
• Allow 48 hours acclimatisation before decoration
• Lightly sand if needed for optimal paint finish
• Use quality interior paint and primer as appropriate
