MDF FIRE RATED FRAMES

Featured Replies

On my recent FRA Course I was told that fire rated MDF Frames can only be used on private premises and not in commercial buildings, can someone confirm and elaborate please.

 

cheers

I can’t imagine the difference between the tests in order to approve one for domestic and not for commercial.

I would be very interested as I may have to rip out 40,000 doors.

Who on earth told you that? As long as the frame has the correct fire performance rating for the location, is compatible with the other components of the door set & is correctly installed then it's fine - Building Regulation & Fire Safety Guidance specifies primarily by performance, not by type of material.
