At Capital Fire Doors, safety and compliance are at the core of everything we do.

All installations are completed using approved fire-rated components and compliant installation methods to support long-term performance and safety.
Why Fire Door Installation Matters
Fire doors play a major role in slowing the spread of fire and smoke in a building. When installed correctly, they help contain fire within designated compartments, protect escape routes, and provide occupants with valuable evacuation time.
Poorly fitted or damaged fire doors can fail during an emergency, allowing smoke and flames to spread far more quickly throughout the building.
Correct installation helps to:
- Improve occupant safety
- Support safe evacuation routes
- Reduce fire and smoke spread
- Protect property and assets
- Meet legal fire safety obligations
- Support insurance and compliance requirements

FD30 fire doors are designed to provide up to 30 minutes of fire resistance and are commonly used in residential buildings, flats, corridors, and office environments.
