Bespoke Fire Door Solutions for Individual Requirements

Not every building has doorways that accommodate standard-sized doors. Older properties can have unusually tall or wide openings, whilst commercial premises may require specific configurations to accommodate their everyday activities. When a suitable fire door cannot be found in a standard range, a bespoke solution may be necessary.

Here at J&D Carpentry, we supply and install custom made fire doors in Norfolk, helping property owners and those responsible for commercial buildings find suitable solutions for non-standard openings. We work with established manufacturers to source doors that meet the required specifications without compromising fire safety.

When Is a Custom Made Fire Door Necessary?

A fire door must fit its opening correctly to provide the intended level of protection. Although minor adjustments may be permitted by some manufacturers, excessive trimming or alterations can invalidate the door's certification. This can present difficulties when replacing fire doors in older buildings, particularly where the existing openings do not correspond with modern standard sizes.

Rather than modifying a standard product beyond its permitted limits, custom made fire doors can be manufactured to suit particular dimensions within the scope of an appropriate tested design. This allows the character and practical requirements of the building to be considered without overlooking the importance of fire resistance.
