Timber security doors for commercial environments

In any commercial building security and safety are important considerations – you will require security doors that are specifically designed and built for protection whilst offering a friendly and pleasing forward-facing appearance. From a security aspect these commercial security doors must be capable of protecting employees, visitors and assets from potentially dangerous or threatening environments or breach.

Here are a few considerations regarding timber security doors:

Security fire door assemblies

These security fire door assemblies have softwood or hardwood frames that incorporate a heavy duty door core and are finished with the relevant quality ironmongery. They should be manufactured to PAS 24 (Product Assessment Specification) which is an enhanced security standard that is recognized by the UK Police initiative Security by Design to reduce burglary and criminal damage through better design solutions.

These timber security doors are tested to ensure that the frames, and the doors themselves, can withstand a series of specially designed, and measured, mechanical and manual tests replicating typical stress conditions that an opportunist intruder may employ to gain illegal entry into your premises. These commercial security doors are suitable for internal environments where enhanced protection may be required.

Door finishes to enhance aesthetic appeal

In a commercial environment there are other aspects to consider other than the practical applications, and there are a number of different finishes to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your security fire doors.

• There are a number of veneer facings you can choose from to ensure a consistent and complimentary match of your door appearance throughout the building.
• There are different glazing options available for those environments where glazed screen or panels are appropriate. All glass types have the appropriate thicknesses and integrity required to meet all recommended security and fire safety standards.
• There are a number of different paint grades available and you can choose the most effective and appropriate one dependent upon the door material and use.
• Laminate facings offer a durable and easy to maintain finish in plain, patterned or wood grains. These facings are impact and scratch resistant, impervious to chemical cleaning products and suitable for any high traffic areas, as well as being ideal for food and hygiene installations.

These commercial security doors are ideal for environments such as Banks, Building Societies, Government Offices, Court Houses, Rail and Airport buildings, Pharmaceutical Offices or any commercial building that requires enhanced security for the people and property contained within them.
