Gorley81 Posted May 13 Report Posted May 13 Evening all, Looking for suggestions on identifying the manufacturer of the door sets in the attached link: https://postimg.cc/gallery/dd3dzw9 These are installed across a site, but no documentation is held locally. BM TRADA coloured plugs are fitted to the top of the doors, but the numbers are unreadable. Label has been routered through, making it illegible. My main concern is the installation of the top infill panels: Panels are flush to one face of the frame, with approx. 3–4mm gaps around the perimeter. Beading has only been installed on one side. Panels appear to be screwed through the frame into the panel — likely done prior to the frame being fitted, as the screw heads are now inaccessible without removing the frame. Panels have 20mm intumescent seals routered into all four edges. Has anyone come across a setup like this in a certified system or manufacturer detail? Any insight into whether this might fall under a tested configuration would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Quote
Neil ashdown Posted May 14 Report Posted May 14 Try this: https://www.falconpp.co.uk/media/1326/07_strebord_v91_section_7_doorframes.pdf But clearly you need to identify the door manufacturer if you are to confirm compliance. Quote
Gorley81 Posted May 14 Author Report Posted May 14 Thanks Neil, much appreciated. I'll do some more digging — looking through Falcon's guidelines, the screw positioning and fixing method do appear to be correct. The only thing that stands out now is the 3–4mm gap around the overpanel, as the documentation specifies it should be fitted tight to the frame with no gaps. I'll follow up once I’ve got more info on the door manufacturer or any evidence supporting the install. Quote
