Fire Testing OUR PANELS CAN HANDLE THE HEAT! Our fire-rated Riser Doors have achieved the Certifire accreditation. Rigorously tested

by UKAS & EGOLF approved test laboratories, for complete peace of mind.

More than just a test report, the Certifire accreditation is an internationally recognised mark of fire safety; assuring performance, quality, reliability and traceability of products and systems.

Using correctly installed, certified products provide a powerful demonstration that due diligence has been served, giving assurance for product performance.

The main picture shows two door sets on test. After two hours the furnace is approximately 1200°C. To pass the doors must maintain integrity with no gaps, holes or any flaming occurring.

The European test includes an Insulation value in addition to Integrity, abbreviated to EI. See our EI60 page for doors that achieve 60 minutes Integrity & 60 minutes Insulation.

Gas Safe Regulations require the full length of the boiler flue to be inspected.

Where a boiler has been sited out of sight with the flue running through ducts or ceiling voids, the ability to check the flue may be compromised.

Our Gas Flue inspection panel is the solution.

Without an inspection point, an engineer may deem the boiler to be ‘at risk’ or unsafe. Please remember to specify an inspection point when running flues through voids.
