• First For Firecore

Firecore, the new FD30 composite fire door from DoorCo, made its first appearance at the Fire Safety Event in April. Details will also be on hand on DoorCo’s stand at the FIT Show.

Ian Glenister, DoorCo’s technical & sales manager, says: “We were and are really excited to show off Firecore and all the work we’ve been doing on its development. Following the successful completion of an extensive round of fire, smoke and security tests, Firecore is the latest innovation to join the DoorCo ONE product portfolio.

“Firecore has consistently proven its performance across the widest range of permutations for both internal and external fire doors on the market. The range has been approved for the Winkhaus UK FireFrame Doorset scheme and includes lots of door designs, top and sidelights and glazing options.

“It is also available via DoorCo’s expert installer customers.”

Testing

Glenister adds: “Working with Winkhaus, Firecore has been rigorously tested, performing consistently across all 19 tests conducted, to the EN1634 standard. The slab itself comprises of a fire-resistant phenolic foam core, engineered hardwood subframe, finished with our signature GPR skins, so aesthetically, it looks like any other DoorCo door.

“Firecore’s consistent performance together with Winkhaus UK’s exhaustive and benchmark testing scheme has made it a fire door totally fit for purpose and one that is being adopted by a number of UK fire door manufacturers and installers.

“Winkhaus works closely with the social housing sector to ensure fire doorsets are compliant. Fire safety is paramount. Everyone involved in the supply chain is responsible for their own compliancy, so an important part of the scheme is supporting that role with advice, checklists, training and research.”
