Fire doors · Architects

Fire door specification support for Cornwall architects.

Architects delivering residential, mixed-use and public-sector projects across Cornwall need certified fire doorset options that clear Approved Document B, warranty-provider requirements and (increasingly) the client's aesthetic brief. We support at Stage 3 / 4 with performance-verified specifications.

Regulatory context for architects

Stage-3 and Stage-4 fire strategy documents specify doorset performance (FD30S, FD60) and interface with the Approved Inspector's plan-check. Post-Building Safety Act, the specification chosen at Stage 4 becomes part of the golden thread and needs to survive to installed condition.

Our approach with architects

Free NBS Chorus-compatible specifications with certified assembly references, ironmongery schedules, GAI codes, colour palette and O&M-ready structure. RIBA CPD available for practices interested in a lunchtime session. Every doorset we install carries independent third-party certification (BM TRADA Q-Mark, Certifire or IFC) covering the exact tested slab, frame, seal, hardware and glazing combination. Installation follows the manufacturer's tested method and hands over with the manufacturer certificate, installation certificate and photo evidence for your compliance file.
