GHDirect Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Mine is a new self build bungalow. I want an off the shelf glazed fire door (FD30) from garage into the building and favour aluminium for looks and strength. I have searched the internet and so far they do not exist. It seems they are all made from wood, composite or steel. Anyone any ideas.
MikeGrahamT21 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Aluminium in its natural form is extremely hard to ignite, and melts at over 600C, so I'd say its perhaps fire rated as it is. The fire rating would likely come from intumescent (sp?) seals around the door, which you may be able to swap out yourself. If it needs a certificate for BCO though, you would be better going for an off the shelf one with cert. Edited January 31, 2018 by MikeGrahamT21
