the reliable fully accredited FD30 fire-rated door brand created by FabFrames
The Defendoor from FabFrames is the only fully accredited fire-rated door which meets current EN safety standards and Building Regulations requirements. To do this, the Defendoor is independently tested to EN 1634 European Regulations for Fire and Smoke resistance and to PAS 24 standards for security. It is Q Marked for both tests, receiving dual certification. The Winkhaus door slab is independently tested twice, by Winkhaus and by the Fabricator. In fire safe testing the 30 minute fire rated door actually provides 59 minutes of protection and the 60 minute fire rated door provides 85 minutes of protection. It is an essential door system for housing associations, local councils, and developers who want to ensure the safety of their tenants. The latest government advice suggests that any landlords or owners of multi-occupancy properties who suspect that their doors don’t meet current fire or smoke resistance performance should replace their door sets. The Defendoor is designed to the highest specifications and is tested to the most stringent criteria. When you want to meet the industry safety standards and give occupants peace of mind that they are living in a safe environment, the Defendoor is the only door for you.
