Most fire doors for domestic properties carry either an FD30 or FD60 rating, meaning they are designed to resist fire for 30 or 60 minutes when professionally installed.
If you need advice on fire doors in Birmingham, for your home or block, the Smokeseal team in Birmingham is ready with friendly, expert guidance.
