Fire Doors By Material

Choosing a Fire Door by Its Finish

The material is the part of a fire door you actually see. Whatever the finish, the fire protection sits in the door's solid, tested core, so choosing by material is really about matching the door on a protected opening to the rest of the doors in the room. You can browse the full internal fire doors range, or pick the finish that suits your scheme below.

Real-wood veneers

For the warmth of natural timber, oak fire doors bring a light, familiar grain and walnut fire doors a deeper, richer tone. Both use a real wood face bonded over an engineered core rather than solid planks, which is how nearly all wood fire doors are built and what keeps the face flat and stable. You can see the whole spread of them under veneer fire doors.

Painted finishes

If you would rather paint or match a colour, white fire doors are the bright, easy choice, primed ready to paint or finished smooth. Grey fire doors give a softer modern neutral, while black fire doors make a bolder, contemporary statement. The colour sits on the face; the rating still comes from the core.

Value fire doors

Where budget matters more than the finish, our value FD30 fire doors keep the tested 30-minute protection while saving on styling, so an affordable door still meets the same standard on a protected opening.
