Fire doors represent one of the most straightforward and powerful methods for safeguarding lives and assets. When fitted correctly, these units contain flames and smoke within a restricted zone, ensuring escape paths remain accessible and providing crucial minutes for a safe exit. Throughout County Dublin, from the bustling streets of the City Centre to the residential hubs of Dún Laoghaire and the growing commercial districts in Fingal, property owners are becoming more proactive regarding fire safety standards. Bright Star Joinery assists them in fulfilling these vital safety requirements.
We supply and fit FD30, FD60 and FD90 fire rated doors for both domestic and commercial sites across the capital. Based in Dublin, our team can be on site rapidly for initial surveys and final installations. Our skilled joiners recognise that fire door fitting is a precision task. A door hung with incorrect tolerances, missing intumescent seals or non-compliant hardware is a door that might fail during an emergency. We ensure every single installation is finished to the highest standard.
Whether you require a single fire door for a rental apartment, a full set for a new residential development, or a large scale upgrade across a commercial office block, we possess the expertise to deliver. Dublin property owners rely on us for fire protection because we pair expert craftsmanship with transparent pricing and dependable service.
Fire doors undergo rigorous laboratory testing to receive a rating based on their ability to withstand heat and flames. Selecting the appropriate rating for specific locations within your premises is vital for both legal compliance and occupant safety.
FD30 Fire Doors offer 30 minutes of fire resistance. These are the standard choice for the majority of residential settings in Dublin. If you manage flats, HMOs or houses with integrated garages, FD30 doors are typically required for escape routes. They are also frequently used for cupboards containing electrical mains or boilers.
FD60 Fire Doors maintain a barrier against fire for 60 minutes. Commercial units, nursing homes, hotels and educational facilities generally require FD60 doors in high risk areas such as stairwells and main corridors. With Dublin’s continuous commercial expansion, many modern premises require this specification to meet building control standards.
FD90 Fire Doors provide 90 minutes of protection. These are utilised in industrial environments and large scale commercial buildings where safety regulations necessitate extended resistance. Many of Dublin’s industrial estates and logistics hubs contain zones where FD90 doors are a mandatory requirement.
We can survey your Dublin property to determine exactly where fire doors are needed and suggest the ideal rating for every opening. Our guidance is clear, honest and aligned with current regulations and insurance expectations.
The primary purpose of a fire door is life safety. This is why professional installation is non-negotiable. A door that appears functional but has excessive gaps, misplaced seals or a faulty self-closing mechanism could lead to a catastrophic failure during a fire. At Bright Star Joinery, we ensure that never happens.
Our joiners have mastered the technicalities of fire door assembly. We verify that frames are perfectly square before the doors are hung. We maintain strict gap tolerances to ensure the door meets its certification criteria. We install smoke seals and intumescent strips in the precise positions required for them to expand and seal the gap when heated. Furthermore, we only use fire rated hinges and closers that ensure the door returns to its frame securely.
Dublin landlords count on us to bring their portfolios up to code before inspections. Property managers trust us to replace fire doors in apartment blocks with minimal noise and disruption. Developers hire us to manage fire door packages on new builds according to their strict timelines. Whatever the scale of your project, we apply the same focus on safety and quality.
Our quotations are thorough and easy to understand. We stick to our promised timelines, maintain a tidy workspace and respect your property. This is professional joinery from a team that views fire safety as a priority.
