Robust UK is launching their new glazed fire resistant steel
profile and doorsets. ‘GLAS-DOR’ can provide up to 2 hours of
fire resistance with a core of fire resistant insulation for glazed
doors, sliding doors, partition walls and window sections.
The introduction of GLAS-DOR brings new opportunities for
building design, as Paul Williams, Sales Director at Robust UK,
explains:
“Building on the experience and knowledge from over 20 years
trading history with our sister company in Sweden, we are very
pleased to be able to offer the new Robust GLAS-DOR system.
“Architects and building engineers can now specify fully glazed
steel doors and wall partitions in areas that need to meet fire and
security requirements and is perfect for use in offices, shopping
centres, airports, hotels, hospitals, schools and similar public
buildings.”
The doors and wall partitions are built using the Stalprofil
SP35000 and SP76000 systems. Both carry a variety of UK
and European test evidence for fire, security and acoustic
performance which Robust will be adding to with a programme
of UK specific testing.
GLAS-DOR Door and Wall Sections can make up the fire cell
partitions in, for example, corridors, main passageways and
stairwells used as evacuation routes in the event of a fire. The

The systems can be adapted to suit requirements and are type
approved, with features including finger trap gaskets, round

180 and 260 mm) profiles. These tested and approved systems
also come in a wide variety of heights and widths. Wall sections
up to 3.45m height and with a free edge have been tested as
