The Fire Rating Most Homes Are Built Around
An FD30 fire door is built and tested to hold back flame and smoke for 30 minutes, and it's the rating specified for the vast majority of homes and everyday commercial spaces. Those 30 minutes are what buy the people inside time to reach an exit and give the fire service longer to arrive, which is why building control asks for an FD30 door wherever a fire could cut off an escape route.
Our FD30 fire doors carry that protection in a 44mm core while looking like any other internal door, so you rarely have to compromise on style to meet the regulations. It's the 30-minute tier of the wider internal fire doors range and the place most home and commercial projects start; where a building needs longer, FD60 fire doors take over.
Where FD30 fire doors are needed at home
In a house, an FD30 door is what building regulations ask for wherever a fire could block the way out. The classic cases are a loft conversion, where every door onto the new escape stairway has to be fire-rated, and the door between an integral garage and the house, since a garage is a common place for a fire to start. They're also specified on the stairwell doors of three-storey homes, and they make a sensible upgrade to any room where you want extra protection, such as a home office full of electronics. Fitting a residential fire door is one of the simplest ways to make a home safer without it looking any different.
Styles and finishes to choose from
Because the fire rating lives in the core, an FD30 door can look like almost anything. Glazed fire doors use fire-rated glass to keep a hallway bright, oak fire doors bring a warm oak veneer, and white fire doors give a crisp, paint-ready face for a modern scheme. Across the range you'll find flush and panelled designs too, so a fire door on the landing can match the ordinary doors either side of it.
Keeping the 30-minute rating
An FD30 door only holds its rating as part of a complete doorset, so it needs a compatible fire door frame or lining, intumescent strips and smoke seals set into the frame, and fire-rated hinges, with a closer where one is required. Once it's fitted, protect the rating by leaving the seals intact, not trimming the door beyond the maker's limits, and never propping it open. Sizes follow the common heights and widths gathered on the fire door sizes page.
FAQs
An FD30 fire door is tested to resist fire for at least 30 minutes, holding back flame and smoke long enough for people to get out safely and to slow the fire's spread through a building.
Most often on loft-conversion stairways, between an integral garage and the house, and on the stairwell doors of three-storey homes. Building control or a fire risk assessment will confirm the exact openings for your project.
Yes. The rating only holds as part of a complete doorset, so an FD30 door needs a fire-rated frame or lining, intumescent seals and fire-rated hinges. The door on its own is not a certified doorset.
You can usually trim a small amount within the manufacturer's stated limits, and most can be painted or finished, but keep coats thin, never cover the intumescent seals, and follow the maker's guidance so the rating stays valid.
