Certified Fire Doors
At Door Station, our range of fire doors offers vital protection in a fire situation, slowing down the spread of fire and smoke through a building. All of our fire doors are fire resisting and constructed to British Standards, such as BS 476, so you can be sure they will perform when it counts.
We offer a range of ratings, such as FD30 for at least 30 minutes of fire protection and FD60 fire doors for more severe situations. All doors are tested and built to meet building regulations and comply in domestic and commercial environments.
Fire doors operate with built-in items like intumescent strips and smoke seals. These substances swell upon contact with intense heat, filling the space between the door and the door frame and limiting the passage of flames and smoke. Our designs usually also include a closing device so that the door closes automatically each time, a vital component in maintaining effective fire safety.
For extra light and visibility, consider our glazed fire doors, which marry fire protection to contemporary design. If you need something tailored to fit various sizes or bespoke finishes, our made-to-measure fire doors service enables you to design a bespoke solution to suit your needs.
Don't miss matching your fire door with the right accessories, check out our range of fire-rated products, such as intumescent kits, hinges, latches, and handles. For a complete solution, our fire-rated door frames guarantee that the complete installation complies with safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fire door?
A fire door is a specially designed door with a fire-resistance rating that slows the spread of fire and smoke between a building's compartments. It's part of a building’s passive fire protection system.
Can you paint a fire door?
Yes, you can paint a fire door, but you must use compatible paints and avoid damaging any seals or hardware. Do not paint over intumescent strips or smoke seals.
What is the purpose of a fire door?
The primary purpose of a fire door is to contain fire and smoke, protect escape routes, and buy critical time for occupants to evacuate safely and for emergency services to respond.
How long does a fire door last?
A fire door’s lifespan depends on its specification, usage, and maintenance. Standard ratings include FD30 (30 minutes) or FD60 (60 minutes), indicating how long they can withstand fire. Regular inspections ensure continued performance.
Do fire doors need intumescent strips on the bottom?
Typically, intumescent strips are required on the top and sides of a fire door. The bottom may not need one if it meets the required gap tolerance, though some designs may include a drop seal or bottom strip for added protection.
Does a fire door have to be self-closing?
Yes, fire doors must be self-closing to automatically shut and form a barrier in the event of a fire. This is typically achieved using an approved door closer.
