Ive been asked to make some fire rated oak doors for someone but they want real paneled doors rather than fire blanks . I'm sure i read somewhere that making the solid timber 50mm thick would work as a fire door . Anyone know the fire regs for this sort of thing ?

I used a product a few years back that gets laminated in the panels . I think it was simply called intumescent mat. You have to use a special glue also. Passed by the BCO no problems. I think it was rated FR60 using two sheets of 6mm ply (painted doors) but I see no reason why Oak would be any different. The mat itself was about 1.5mm thick. I'll see if I can find the supplier.

I gather they don't have to be certified. As that is expensive. The last time I had to it was £750 for the drawings and certificate from Warrington www.envirograf.com/products/product038.html Great link though Cheers |
