Guest Bobby Posted July 21, 2022 Report Share Posted July 21, 2022 I'm having a FD30 rated fire door with a self closer put in leading to my attached garage. Does it need a fire rated door frame? If such things exist,or intumescent strips fitted to meet building regs? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Usually a complete tested & certified doorset (i.e. door & frame) is required - as it has to be an FD30S door it will also need intumescent strips with cold smoke seals as well.

Neil ashdown Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 In the case of timber-based fire doors, the certificate of approval and data sheet (or equivalent documentary evidence of fire resistance performance) for that particular fire door leaf will set out the requirements for the door frame. Usually softwood with minimum sectional dimensions of 70mm wide x 30mm thick plus the thickness of the rebate stop. Eg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
