Doors are special

Door Protection can be complex so it can be cheaper to buy factory built Fire Doors. For multiple doors and Historic Buildings, where doors must be saved, please give us a call to discuss your options. We will need exact details of the construction of each door and some photographs would help.

A minimum of panel thickness of 9mm is required.

When using Ultra Door Protection for upgrading standard doors to 30 minute fire doors, it must be used as part of an overall program to include intumescent fire/smoke seal and lock, hinge and door closer Intumescent protection card.

As a general guide, uprating is likely to include the following;

1. Preparation of the doors to take intumescent fire/smoke seals and lock, hinge and door closer intumescent protection cards.

2. Two coats of Ultra Door Intumescent Fire Paint base, followed by one top coat of Hard Finish (Eggshell or Gloss).

CERTIFICATION - why you will need a Certificate of Supply

A Certificate of Supply can be issued for each Project. This is essential if you have to satisfies your Insurers, the Fire and Building Control Authority and for Client Records. Without a Certificate you may be vulnerable to prosecution in the event of a fire. We cannot issue a Certificate of Supply if we have not produced a Specification in the first place, so please do not buy paints without asking for a written Specification.

'Fire Paint' is a general term rather misleadingly used to cover both Fire Resistant Paint, used as a top coat to protect the Intumescent Paint beneath and Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish, which are both fairly soft coatings used over a primer. Class O and Class 1 are Classifications used regarding fire action on the surface of the paint, whereas 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes and 90 Minutes describe the period of protection given by the underlying Intumescent layers of Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish.

We can provide an Intumescent Paint price based on the thickness of the wood or steel to be protected, and a separate price for the Fire Rated paint used as a top coat, which acts as a retardent fire layer, producing an inert gas to protect itself for 10 minutes.
