FiRECORE, the new FD30 composite fire door from leading door manufacturer, DoorCo will be making its first appearance to the market at the Fire Safety Event in April. The exhibition, which runs from 8–10 April at the NEC, is centred on supporting fire safety professionals to achieve and maintain the very highest standards of fire safety management
Ian Glenister, DoorCo’s Technical and Sales Manager, said: “We’re 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.
“Working with Winkhaus, there has been no stone left unturned with the development of this new approved fire door. FiRECORE has been rigorously tested, performing consistently across all 19 tests conducted, to the EN1634 standard.
“FiRECORE can be used in any internal or external situation and has the widest range of designs on the market, which includes top and sidelights and our own modified FLiP cassette. It also comes with the Winkhaus approved FireFrame, AV AutoLock, hinges, intumescent and handles which have been specifically designed for purpose.
“The slab itself comprises of a fire-resistant phenolic foam core, engineered hardwood subframe and finished with our signature GPR skins, so aesthetically, it looks like any other DoorCo door. The finished door set has been designed in conjunction with Winkhaus to ensure total cohesion for ultimate performance.
“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, and 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.
“The Fire Safety event is the perfect platform to introduce FiRECORE to the market. Attended by fire safety professionals, the event showcases the latest products and solutions in fire safety. Come along to stand 4/J111 to understand more about the specifics of the latest entrant to the fire door market and how you can start procuring it.”
