Thanks for your reply, yes agree that would be easy. Only thing is there is other stuff that they want hidden from view - gas meters, water valves, electrical trunking and the mains armored cable, telephone distribution. So i need to make a unit for it all anyway, so would the fr mdf euro class B, be sufficient? Thanks

Hi, I've been asked to make a 30 minute fire resistant cupboard that houses the electric meters for a house that's been converted into flats. Could i make the frame/boxing and the doors out of FR MDF Class B - which gives a 60 minute fire rating. and fit intumescent strip around the doors? Cant fit a standard FD30 with stud work and plasterboard as the front door would not open due to the thickness of build up. Can only get away with 18/25 mm build up. Also a lot of the meters are up at ceiling height so doors need to be light enough to open easily. Cheers Neil

Will these need to be fitted with either fire or smoke strips? or neither? Thanks, Neil

Hi, Do i need fire doors on all bedrooms, w/c and kitchen or just the front door which opens up into a communal hallway? If so do all doors need door closers or again just the main door which separates the flats? Thanks
