Certified fire doorsets, FD30 to FD120
A fire doorset is a complete tested assembly — leaf, frame, seals, glazing and ironmongery, manufactured and certified together. That is all we will supply: complete doorsets with their evidence.
Fire-rated doors are graded FD30, FD60, FD90 and FD120 by how long the doorset resists fire: 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of integrity when tested to BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634-1. FD30 (broadly E30) is the everyday rating for flat entrances and escape routes; FD60 (E60) protects stairways and compartment lines; FD90 and FD120 are reserved for high-hazard compartmentation. The correct rating for any opening comes from the building's fire strategy and risk assessment, not from a general rule.

| Rating | Fire resistance | EN classification | Typical leaf | Where it is specified |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FD30 / FD30s | 30 minutes | ≈ E30 (integrity) | Typically 44 mm | Flat entrances, HMO and escape-route doors, corridors, most internal fire doors |
| FD60 / FD60s | 60 minutes | ≈ E60 (integrity) | Typically 54 mm | Protected stairways, compartment walls, plant rooms, taller residential blocks |
| FD90 | 90 minutes | Per certified design | Per certified design | High-hazard compartmentation, significant compartment lines, industrial positions |
| FD120 | 120 minutes | Per certified design | Per certified design | Major compartment walls, basements, high-hazard storage and process areas |
FD ratings describe integrity (E), not insulation (EI): an FD60 doorset is not the same as EI60. Leaf thicknesses are typical, not mandatory — the governing document is always the certified design. For the two most-specified ratings, see FD30 vs FD60: which rating do you need? or run the compliance checker.
Compare any two ratings side by side — FD60 vs FD90, FD90 vs FD120, FD30 vs FD90, FD60 vs FD120, FD30 vs FD120.
Fire resistance selector
Which fire door rating do I need?
Pick a rating to see the integrity it holds, a typical leaf thickness, and where it is usually specified — FD30 vs FD60 and beyond, at a glance.
Illustrative selector — not a specification. Figures are fire integrity (E30–E120): resistance to flame and hot gases, not insulation (EI, which also limits heat transfer through the door). Leaf thicknesses are typical; the certified doorset design, hardware schedule and site inspection govern. Pre-launch.
Doorsets by application
Configuration and use-case doorsets that span the rating ladder — specified for a position rather than a single duration.
Flat entrance fire doorsets (FD30S)
Third-party-certified FD30S doorsets for the door between a flat and the common parts — 30 minutes' integrity, cold smoke control and a self-closer, with enhanced-security (PAS 24) variants where forced-entry resistance is also required.
View doorset →Acoustic fire doorsets
Third-party-certified fire doorsets that also carry a separate, independently tested acoustic rating — a fire rating (integrity) and a weighted sound reduction index (Rw) in one doorset, for flat entrances, hotel bedrooms and healthcare rooms where fire and sound both matter.
View doorset →Fire-rated riser & service-cupboard doorsets
Third-party-certified riser, service-cupboard and duct access doorsets — metal or timber, FD30 to FD120, keeping compartmentation intact where a wall is opened up for services.
View doorset →Glazed fire doorsets (vision panels)
Third-party-certified fire doorsets with factory-fitted fire-rated vision panels — glazed FD30 to FD120 within the certified field of application, integrity-rated glass and no site cutting of apertures.
View doorset →Double-leaf & leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets
Third-party-certified double-leaf and leaf-and-a-half fire doorsets — FD30 to FD120 pairs tested as a pair, with intumescent-protected meeting stiles, a self-closing device on each leaf and a door coordinator to BS EN 1158.
View doorset →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between FD30, FD60, FD90 and FD120?
The number is the minutes of fire resistance the doorset gives — 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of integrity when tested to BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634-1. FD30 (broadly E30) is the everyday rating for flat entrances and escape routes; FD60 (E60) protects stairways and compartment lines; FD90 and FD120 are for high-hazard compartmentation.
Is a higher fire door rating always better?
No. The correct rating for an opening comes from the building's fire strategy and risk assessment, not the largest number. Specifying a higher rating than the strategy requires adds cost and weight without adding compliance — and above FD60 the design and glazing become more restricted.
Are FD ratings the same as insulation (EI)?
No. FD ratings describe integrity (E) — resisting flame and hot gases — not insulation (EI), which limits heat passing to the protected side and is tested separately. An FD60 doorset is not the same as EI60.
What is a fire doorset versus a fire door?
A fire doorset is the complete tested assembly — leaf, frame, seals, glazing and ironmongery, manufactured and certified together. A fire door often refers to just the leaf. The rating belongs to the whole doorset as tested, which is why we supply complete doorsets with their evidence.
