Bespoke doors for builders – deliver your project to schedule
Construction and building companies are always working towards contractual deadlines – and these are often complicated by changes to the original plans, or specific legal regulations or requirements. One of these aspects is often the health and safety issues, and the strict regulations around fire doors – everything from the design, production, materials used and the fitting of these vital components, in any new building, needs to be carefully considered.
Getting these aspects correct at the planning stage will go a long way to ensuring you meet those deadlines for a successful delivery of the project. The best way to ensure this is to consult with specialist door manufacturers – their knowledge and expertise can help you identify exactly what is required for the building you are constructing. Here are a few of the aspects you should be considering:
Fire door finishes
Glazing
There are different timbers and styles to consider when ordering glazed screens. Appropriate glass types and thicknesses must be used for specific usage to meet the required integrity of the doors.
Paint grades
Again, different paint grades are to be considered for different door uses – ply faced paint grade is recommended for external door applications, whereas both MdF faced paint grade and paper overlay paint grades, are specifically for internal use only.
Veneer facings
Real wood veneers give a great finish, but the very nature of the material means that there can be different looks, or finishes, to the bespoke doors. A specialised manufacturer will ensure that all veneers used throughout the building are well matched and of the highest quality, ensuring a consistent finish throughout.
Laminate facings
Sometimes laminate facings are more appropriate, and practical, than other finishes – for example, they are ideal in installations catering for high traffic or food and hygiene areas. These laminate facings come in a number of finishes, such as, plain, patterned or a wood grain.
Fire door manufacturing options
There are different manufacturing options to also be considered:
Door frames
Door frames can be manufactured to exact requirements, taking into account the different wall depths and extension liners and required safety gaps for their use.
Soundproofing
Some buildings will have specific soundproofing requirements – manufacturers can supply complete sets of specialist doors, frames and accessories to ensure these strict requirements are met.
Door accessories
Aspects such the door hinges and handles (and other hardware) must also be considered, and the safety issues fully complied with for their use.
A specialist door manufacturer will produce bespoke doors for builders, whether for use in a domestic environment, or if commercial doors are required. Time spent planning these aspects before construction gets underway will save time – and money – in the long term, and help ensure your project gets finished on schedule.
