Fire Retardant Paint and Fire Retardant Varnish:

For Loft Conversion Fire Doors to upgrade them to FD30.

In many loft conversions and building extensions existing solid wood doors can be re-used, with the permission of your Building Inspector or Fire Officer, by upgrading them with Fire Retardant Paint. This is a simple process - we will provide you with a free, written Specification with attached Data Sheets, so that you can forward it directly to your Building Inspector. If he or she approves and you decide to proceed using our paints we will issue a Fire Certificate of Supply, upon completion of the painting, subject only to completing a simple Application Form.

We can save you lots of money and by giving you guidance on the rules for meeting the Fire Regulations for Fire Doors in Loft Conversions. You may also need to deal with Intumescent Strips and Intumescent Protection for the door edges, hinges and door closer (see below for our easy to use Essentials Packs).

For Loft Conversion door upgrades call us on 01626 872886 for instant help and advice.


Benefits of using intumescent paints and water based top coats for door upgrading:

* water based fire paints are easy to apply

* no smell at all, ideal for occupied buildings

* no solvents, so no headaches or fire risks

* thin coats, so no nasty splodgy finishes

* no vapour, so no hazards to other occupants or workers on Site

* Fire Certificate of Supply is FREE - quick Form to complete, then send it back via E Mail

FIRE DOOR UPGRADING IN LOFT CONVERSIONS - 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 872886 for FREE help with your Fire Door Specification.

A minimum of panel thickness of 10mm for softwoods and hardwoods is required.


Panels need to be at least 10mm thick for Fire Paint and 16mm thick for Fire Varnish. If the wood is less than this 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. Four coats of Ultra Door Intumescent Fire Paint or three coats of 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.
