FIRE SAFETY & SECURITY
FD30 FIRE RATED DOOR SOLUTIONS
ROCKET DOOR FRAMES
Rocket Door Frames ’ space saving pocket door kits have proved very successful in the UK over the last five years . The ease of installation of the 100 % steel frame have made them attractive to architects , builders and keen DIYers alike . Rocket ’ s ultra flush door product without the architrave is also popular particularly with interior designers looking to make a visual impact in home and commercial spaces . That ’ s great but is it enough ?
Fire safety has never been more important in the minds of customers when making a purchase . The fire resistance of these door systems is a question our team is increasingly asked about and is something we take very seriously . To illustrate this Rocket put its door products through rigorous independent fire safety testing to prove their suitability .
Tested by the UKAS-accredited Warringtonfire laboratory , the Rocket pocket door and ultra flush concealed door systems both obtained a full 30-minute rating , known as FD30 . This means the kits can be safely used with any standard doors with the Rocket pocket frame , or doors supplied by Rocket for its concealed door product .
In the assessment , Rocket ’ s pocket door system was fitted with a flaxboard core door , one of the most onerous of all the fire door cores . This was done for the customer ’ s peace of mind ; if the most basic door passed the test , they knew they had a product they could trust .
Following the FD30 test , Rocket actually achieved an impressive 48 minutes of protection . That is 60 % more than the requirement for full approval .
The Jamb Lining A jamb is essentially a timber lining kit fitted after the door is installed to cover the top of the door and running mechanism . This lines the metal entrance verticals to the pocket for a clean and professional look .
Rocket ’ s fire door jamb is made from a high density , slow burning European oak providing a strong and stable finish . Another advantage is that this jamb does not have flat architraves integrated into the system .
The quality of the Rocket jamb system easily passed the fire test without the need for architraves . This means you can specify the same architraves throughout a development and not be constrained by the jamb design .
