A key part of DoorCo’s ONE complete product range, FiRECORE – DoorCo’s new fire door product – is officially launched, following the successful completion of an extensive round of fire, smoke and security tests. FiRECORE is now available to both existing DoorCo customers and those on the Winkhaus UK FireFrame doorset Scheme in the widest range of permutations for both internal and external fire doors on the market, with top and sidelights and FLiP included in the range.
Ian Glenister, DoorCo’s Technical and Sales Manager explains more: “FiRECORE has been a big project for DoorCo over the last 18 months with significant investment. 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 16 tests conducted, to the EN1634 standard. This means that 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.
“The partnership with Winkhaus UK has been an important factor in the efficiency and effectiveness of the project. Not only do we use the Winkhaus approved FireFrame, AV AutoLock, hinges, intumescent and handles which have been specifically designed for purpose, they were able to support us in realising our ambitious out plan for what we wanted to achieve with the FiRECORE range.
“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.
“We’re absolutely delighted with the results: 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.
