Commercial and residential fire doors are required in buildings where protecting escape routes and limiting fire spread is a legal obligation. In practice, this applies to shared corridors, stairwells, entrance doors, and internal compartmentation within schools, apartment blocks, social housing, and light commercial properties. Shelforce fire doors help address common compliance challenges by providing tested FD30 and FD60 door sets, compatible fire door frames, and approved hardware that work together as a complete system for effective fire breaks. Features such as fire rated composite door construction, tested smoke control performance, PAS24 security compliance, and options for compliant glazed panels support correct specification while reducing the risk of failure during fire door inspection or future remedial work. For those responsible for multiple properties or sites, this approach supports consistent installation, easier maintenance, and clearer compliance records over time.
Shelforce fire doors are suitable for use in regulated environments where tested fire performance and documented compliance are required. This includes local authority housing, social housing providers, schools and education buildings, apartment blocks, and light commercial properties. They are commonly specified by contractors, housing providers, and property managers responsible for maintaining fire safety standards across shared access areas and internal compartmentation. These fire doors are intended for projects where compliance, repeatability, and long-term maintenance are priorities, rather than one-off domestic upgrades.
