Need Help?

We are currently undertaking a private residential project in London which requires a custom-sized pocket door that is FD30 fire rated. The hardware is certified as fire rated, however we are having difficulty with the door panel itself. The contractor has proposed using fire retardant MDF, however building control has said this is not compliant with regulations. As such we are exploring the possibility of applying an intumescent coat to the door panel, and I wondered if you have anything that would be appropriate? Ideally we would like to apply a paint over this coating so this would need to be considered, if possible. As this is a critical item, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.


We would suggest seeking approval from your authority for the Thermoguard Timbercoat Door Upgrade System.
