Notes on upgrading Doors
DOOR
UPGRADING - easy when you know how Door
Protection can be expensive if you only have one or two doors to convert: it can
be cheaper to buy factory built Fire Doors. However, nice, solid wood doors can
be economically converted to 30 minutes fire resistance, as often requested by
Building Control Officers. For
conversion of all doors made of solid wood, or solid wood with panels, please
give us a call to discuss your options. We
will need to know the size and thickness of each door, and the thickness of any
panels.
Give
us on call on 01626 331351 for FREE help with your Fire Door Specification. A
minimum of panel thickness of 16mm for softwoods and 12mm for hardwoods is required.
Softwoods
need to be at least 16mm thick and hardwoods 12mm thick, in order to withstand
charring (without collapse) of 10mm (softwoods) or 6mm (hardwoods). Hardwoods,
like Oak, burn slower than Softwoods, like Pine. These charring allowances leave
6mm of wood in reserve, to provide more time for escape, after the paint systems
have expired. If the wood is less than these thicknesses it can be supplemented
with additional panelling - we will be pleased to Quote for precision panels made
to measure for your project. When
using Ultra Door Protection for upgrading standard doors to 30 minute fire doors,
it must be used as part of an overall program to include intumescent fire/smoke
seal and lock, hinge and door closer Intumescent protection card, or as Specified
by your Building Inspector. As
a general guide, uprating is likely to include the following; 1.
Preparation of the doors to take intumescent fire/smoke seals and lock, hinge
and door closer intumescent protection cards. We can offer surface mounting Intumescent
Seal Strips, which are self adhesive and mount inside the door frame. This type
of seal enables you to avoid removing the door to cut slots. 2.
Three coats of Ultra Door Intumescent Fire Paint or Varnish base, followed by
two top coats of Flame Paint or Flame Varnish Finish (Eggshell or Gloss). 3.
Additional panels or Veneer may be required to meet the minimum thickness requirements
- we can manufacture this for you - please ask for a Quotation.

Click
to Home Page 'Fire
Paint' is a general term rather misleadingly used to cover both Fire Resistant
Paint, used as a top coat to protect the Intumescent Paint beneath and Intumescent
Paint or Intumescent Varnish, which are designed to swell up in a fire to protect
the door. Class 1 and Class O are Classifications used regarding fire action on
the surface of the paint, whereas '30 Minutes' describes the period of protection
given by the underlying Intumescent layers of Intumescent Paint or Intumescent
Varnish against penetration of fire. We
can provide an Intumescent Paint price based on the thickness of the wood or steel
to be protected, and a separate price for the Flame Paint used as a top coat,
which also acts as a retardent fire layer, producing an inert gas to protect itself.
