FD30 External Fire Door Construction

Strength meets style: Forget flimsy fire doors that compromise on either looks or longevity. Our external composite fire doors boast a robust core of solid timber, clad in sleek, weatherproof GRP skins front and back. This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about a fire rated door built to last.

Light on weight, heavy on protection: GRP or Glass Reinforced Plastic, isn't just a fancy name. It's the secret weapon behind our doors' impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike heavier alternatives, GRP delivers exceptional resilience without weighing you down.

Ready for anything: Life throws curveballs, and your fd30 external fire door should be ready to catch them. That's why our door frame combines a sturdy timber core with a weatherproof UPVC outer shell. This dynamic duo ensures your fire door stands strong against fire, security threats and the harshest elements, all while maintaining its easy-care charm.

External Fire Door FAQs

Looking for answers about external composite fire doors? Below we cover the most common questions about FD30 and FD30s fire doors, including fire ratings, smoke seals, glazing options, sizes, colours, hardware, security and where these specialist external doors can be used. Whether you are choosing a fire door for a flat, apartment, garage or new build, this guide will help you understand the key features and benefits.

A standard composite door is mainly designed for thermal efficiency, weather resistance and home security. An external composite fire door is specially engineered to resist fire for a set period, usually 30 minutes, using a much denser fire-resisting core and a fully tested doorset construction. Although they may look very similar, they are built for different purposes and tested to different performance standards.

An FD30 external fire door is designed to provide up to 30 minutes of fire resistance. An FD30s external fire door provides the same 30-minute fire resistance but also includes smoke control performance. The “s” stands for smoke, meaning the door has been tested to help reduce smoke leakage as well as resist fire.

Sizes can vary depending on whether the door design is solid or glazed, but the standard size range is typically from 850mm to 1015mm wide and from 1969mm to 2109mm high. Always check the exact availability for your chosen design and specification before ordering.

Yes. Just Doors offers both solid and glazed external fire door styles.
