Doorset Manufacture

Our Doorset range has developed following years of experience gained both within manufacture and on site delivery of both new build and refurbishment projects across many sectors

The range is based on some of the best quality core materials available in the UK.  The driver for using such high quality materials ensures our doorsets give the maximum life span and serviceability with enhanced performance characteristics

Your precise specification and requirements are followed throughout the production process ensuring our products meet your requirements fully

All of our Fire Rated Doorsets are manufactured to meet BS476 Part 22 1987 with additional quality controls and peace of mind through our accreditation and certification with BM Trada Q-Mark Fire Door Manufacture

Doorset production, from start to finish, will be carried out in house right down to face and frame finishes.

Core Materials

Door Cores:

We have chosen to work closely with two door cores manufacturers who manufacture cores to separate BM Trada Q-Mark accreditation, as this allows us to offer a wide range of products and finishes meaning we have a core suitable for all environments

Solid Timber Cross Laminated cores are built up from 3 layers of either softwood or hardwood lamelled timbers, with outer faces of either HDF, MDF or Ply, offering solutions for all environments including moisture resistant and higher levels of durability and lifespan due to its robustness and resilience.  These cores are ideally situated in environments including; high traffic, pivot configurations, challenging environments etc

Particleboard cores are built up from a unique 3 layer particleboard specifically designed for their purpose using a combination of chemical and engineering development.  These particleboard cores form quality doors for a wide range of environments to meet all budgets

Lippings:

We lip all of our doors to all edges to provide the best quality and finish in quality joinery grade timber of various species to either match face finishes or contrast in both concealed or exposed lipping configurations

Face Finishes

Veneers:

There is a vast array of species available for a plain veneer face finish.  A further choice of stained veneers and inlaid veneers are available

Laminate:

Working with a range of manufacturers, we are able to offer a versatile range of wood effects, solid colours, high gloss, textured and contemporary finishes including metal effects and exciting patterns.

We can laminate multiple colours/types to add interest and/or to highlight building zones etc

PVC:

PVC face finishes can provide multiple benefits such as high impact and anti-bacterial properties.  A wide range of solid colours and wood effects available can help ensure door appearances are in keeping to other door finishes nearby

Paint Grade:

Our paint grade doors can be MDF, Ply or Kraft Paper faced to best suit your requirements.  Our in house coating department can finish your doors either primed or complete with topcoat in either paint or lacquer

Door Protection Items

Door Edge Guards:

Available in both Aluminium and PVC, door edge guards can combine protection to door edges with colour contrast if required.  DEG’s are suitable for both single and double swing doors

Steel bollard posts can be installed to 1 or both sides of doors, generally cross corridor and entrance doors in certain environments to help guide items such as beds through without causing damage to the doorset

Vision Panels & Beading

Vision Panels:

We work with a wide range of glazing options that cover both integrity and insulation with regard to fire performance.  Standard DDA options are available along with more complex multi aperture designs.  Suitable glazing is available for challenging environments.  Privacy Vision Panels can be incorporated where the need for greater security and/or privacy is required

A choice of timber bead profiles are available including heavy duty designs.  Bolt through steel beading can be used with certain vision panels offering no visible fixings to one side

Fire (& Smoke) Ratings

We can manufacture doorsets to the following ratings:

• FD30
• FD30s
• FD60
• FD60s

Acoustic properties can be incorporated into the door manufacture

Doorsets are a complex item in relation to their design and functions, however, we will do all we can to ensure we quickly fully understand your project needs and offer forward suitable elements within the design

Anti-Barricade, Lockbacks, Steel Lined, Anti-Ligature, are all elements we are used to working with when the need is present
