Back in September we took in part the British Woodworking Federation’s Fire Door Safety Week to raise awareness of the critical role that fire doors play in saving lives and protecting property in the unfortunate event of a fire.

In the event of a fire, every second counts. And when it comes to people having time to get to safety (or be able to safely await rescue) the right certified fire door can make all the difference by delaying the spread of fire throughout a building. Depending on which door you install, that could be up to an hour’s fire resistance and smoke control.

Third party certified fire doors offer tried and tested protection – the ultimate peace of mind. As members of the BWF Fire Door Alliance, Certifire and Q-Mark scheme (which provide third party certification for fire doors), all our doors meet the highest safety standards and carry the certification to prove it.

We’re one of only a small number of verified fire door suppliers in Scotland – and every fire door we supply is certified – so when you buy from us you do so safe in the knowledge that your fire doors and door sets will perform as they should in the event of a fire.

In order to maintain our certified status, we undergo regular audits. As members of the BWF Certifire & Q-Mark Scheme a unique identification system also means that each doors journey through the supply chain, to the manufacture of the door leaf and the modification and production of the door set, all the way through to its end use is fully traceable.

Fire Door Safety Week is an important event for all those involved in the housebuilding industry but raising awareness of fire door safety must happen all year round. Get in touch with one of our experts for advice about your fire door today: https://donaldsondoorsystems.co.uk/get-in-touch/
