What this product does

  1. 1
    Mineral-filled face

    The face formulation is driven by the rating, not by the decor range

  2. 2
    Rated as an assembly

    Core, skin, edge, seal and frame are tested together, not the skin alone

  3. 3
    Paperwork with the skin

    The test documentation is part of the product and is asked for at enquiry

  4. 4
    Narrower finish range

    The mineral fill limits finishes compared with a decorative skin

Description

A fire-rated door skin with a mineral-filled face, 3–6 mm thick, supplied at 1850–2150 mm with the test documentation for the assembly it is rated within.

The thing to be precise about is what the rating belongs to. A fire rating is a property of the complete assembly — core, skin, edge, intumescent seal and frame — tested together, and the skin is one component of that. A fire-rated skin bonded to an unrated core does not produce a fire door, and changing the skin on an existing unrated door does not upgrade it; claiming otherwise is a compliance risk on the project rather than a technical nicety. What this product does is supply the skin component with the paperwork, so the assembly can be built and documented as specified. That makes the documentation as much a part of the product as the board: it should be requested at enquiry stage and checked against the door schedule before the order, because a certificate that turns up after installation is difficult to put right. Expect a narrower finish range than the decorative skins, since the mineral-filled formulation is driven by the rating.

Send the door schedule and the required rating with the enquiry, and we will confirm which skin and core combination can be documented for it.

Frequently asked

What is the minimum order?

1 × 20ft container, mixed across products where the mix suits the project. A sample box can be arranged before the first container.

Can I see a sample before ordering?

Yes. Send the product and the size you are specifying, and we will confirm the sample and the lead time for it.

Does a fire-rated skin make my door a fire door?

No, and this is the point to be clear about. A fire rating belongs to the complete assembly — core, skin, edge, intumescent seal and frame — tested together. The skin is one component, and it has to match the rating of the core it is bonded to.

What documentation comes with it?

The test documentation for the assembly the skin is rated within. Ask for it at enquiry stage so it can be checked against the door schedule before the order, because a certificate that arrives after installation is difficult to put right.

Can I use this skin on a standard door to upgrade it?

No. Upgrading an unrated door by changing the skin does not produce a rated assembly, and claiming that it does is a compliance risk on the project.

Is there a visual difference from the standard skin?

The face is mineral-filled, so it is heavier and the surface is slightly different to the touch. The finish range is narrower than the decorative skins, because the formulation is driven by the rating.
