What FD30 And FD60 Actually Mean
FD30 and FD60 refer to the fire-resistance performance of the door assembly. In practice, the route depends on the building type, the opening and whether the door serves an escape route, a flat entrance, a riser or another higher-risk location.
Common Buying Mistakes
People buy the wrong leaf, assume the frame is fine, ignore seals or hardware, or think a labelled door alone solves the problem. In reality, the opening needs to be treated as a complete set.
