FIRST FIRE DOOR INSTALLATION COMPLETED
»»
WITH A WELL-ESTABLISHED reputation for helping customers break into new markets , experienced trade and commercial fabricator Astraseal has helped Surrey-based installers Richmond Windows complete its first fire door installation .
Not only did Astraseal help specify the right product , the Wellingborough-based fabricator sent one of their own surveyors to assist in what turned out to be a complicated survey . Once the door was delivered , Astraseal ’ s engineers joined the Richmond team on site to show the fitters exactly how the fire door needs to be installed , and the correct materials to use .
Astraseal offers a complete range of firerated products including FD30 and FD60 fire doors . Not only do both solutions comply with FIRAS assessment , PAS24 and Approved Document Q , the FD60 fire door is manufactured using the highly-durable FireFrame from Winkhaus .
Astraseal enhanced the range last year by becoming the first fabricator to manufacture a 60-minute fixed fire window . Manufactured in both single and double fixed pane configurations using FireFrame , the 60-minute fire window joined Astraseal ’ s RAUFERNO and Ecoframe uPVC 30-minute fire window system .
With one of the biggest portfolios in the industry , Astraseal has built a strong reputation for high-quality aluminium and uPVC products including windows , doors and conservatories .
