“ always expanding to offer the most comprehensive range of options for all your project requirements ”

Following an 18-month development , test and accreditation program , door and window hardware manufacturer and fire door solution systems house Winkhaus UK Ltd have launched a range of timber and composite UKCA 3rd party certified external fire doorset solutions to massively increase the scope and market offering for existing and prospective fire doorset manufacturing partners .

The design and test evidence for a fire doorset is the ‘ Golden Thread ’ that flows through the lifecycle of a fire door

Andy Townend Commercial Manager Fire states , “ Fire safety and fire doorset legislation has changed significantly in recent years , with the testing and accreditation requirements for external fire doorsets significantly different than those for internal solutions . The design and test evidence for a fire doorset is the ‘ Golden Thread ’ that flows through the lifecycle of a fire door and is the reference point for the other stages of specification , manufacture , installation , and maintenance . It is therefore critical for specifiers to understand the differences in legislative requirements between an internal and external doorset so that they are included in any specification .”
