Weโ€™ve just completed a full fire safety upgrade for a beautiful Airbnb in Modbury. For this project, we replaced four existing door sets with fully certified FD30 fire door assemblies, featuring these stunning pre-finished Oak cottage doors.

In the fire safety industry, we don't just talk about "doors." A true fire door assembly includes the door leaf, the frame, and the essential ironmongery, all tested to ensure a minimum of 30 minutes of fire resistance.

When it comes to holiday lets and Airbnbs, being "compliant" isn't just a buzzword itโ€™s a legal necessity to ensure the safety of your guests and the validity of your property insurance.

๐Ÿ” The Foundation of Fire Compartation: The Well-Fitted Hinge ๐Ÿ”

At Dovetail Fire Doors Ltd, we know a door is only as good as its weakest point. When seconds count, a poorly installed hinge compromises everything. This close-up isn't just about craftsmanship; it's a demonstration of Fire Integrity in action, ensuring that every component, including essential intumescent pads concealed beneath the hinge blades, is correctly positioned to create a vital smoke seal.

What are you looking at?
โœ… Precision Hinge Bedding: The perfect flush fit minimizes gaps where smoke can pe*****te. This maintains the essential smoke seal.
โœ… G13 Certified & UKCA Marked Hardware: We use only premium-grade, fire-certified ironmongery that meets and exceeds BS EN 1935 standards for fire resistance.
โœ… Structural Integrity Preservation: Each countersunk screw is driven perfectly, ensuring the woodโ€™s full strength and resistance are maintained.

A fire door must remain integrity under immense heat. This precise attention to detail is why our doors outperform and provide maximum safety.

Don't compromise on your fire safety. Choose Dovetail Fire Doors Ltd for precision you can trust.

We recently completed a major installation at a health centre in Salcombe, supplying and fitting 11 premium, pre-finished Sapele FD30 fire doors.

In healthcare environments, safety and compliance are absolutely critical. Not only do these new doors meet strict fire safety regulations to protect staff and patients, but the pre-finished Sapele woodgrain also provides a clean, highly professional look for the facility.

We were absolutely thrilled to receive this fantastic 5-star review following the installation:
