Fire doors are not just another door in your property. They are life saving devices designed to slow the spread of fire and smoke, giving people time to evacuate and emergency services time to respond. In Kildare, where new housing estates sit alongside period properties and busy commercial developments, fire door requirements vary widely. Bright Star Joinery has the experience to handle them all.
We supply and install FD30, FD60 and FD90 fire rated doors across County Kildare. Our joiners know that proper installation is everything. The best fire door in the world will not protect you if it is hung incorrectly, has the wrong seals or does not close properly. We take care of every detail, from measuring and specification through to fitting and final checks.
Operating from Dublin, we are on site in Kildare quickly and efficiently. We work with private homeowners, landlords with rental portfolios, property management companies, builders and commercial clients. From a single replacement door in a Naas apartment to a full fire door package for a new development in Celbridge, no job is too small or too large.
Fire door ratings indicate how long a door can hold back fire when correctly installed and maintained. Choosing the right rating depends on your property type and how the space is used.
FD30 Fire Doors resist fire for 30 minutes. These are standard in most residential settings, including houses converted into flats, apartments, and homes with integral garages. Building regulations often require FD30 doors on escape routes and between higher risk areas and living spaces.
FD60 Fire Doors provide 60 minutes of protection. You will find these in commercial premises, apartment blocks, hotels, schools and healthcare buildings. They are used where regulations call for increased fire resistance, particularly on stairwells and corridors forming part of escape routes.
FD90 Fire Doors hold back fire for 90 minutes. These are specified for higher risk environments such as industrial units, large commercial buildings and certain public facilities where extended protection is essential.
We assess your Kildare property and advise on the correct rating for each doorway. Our recommendations are based on building regulations, your insurer’s requirements and practical considerations for how the building is used.
Fire door installation is specialist work. It requires joiners who understand the technical requirements and appreciate why every detail matters. At Bright Star Joinery, fire doors are a core part of what we do.
We follow manufacturer specifications and building regulation guidance on every installation. That means correct frame preparation, precise gap tolerances around the door leaf, properly fitted intumescent strips and smoke seals, and appropriate hinges, latches and closers. We check that doors close fully and latch securely, because a fire door left ajar offers no protection at all.
Kildare has seen massive growth in recent years, and many properties now need fire door upgrades to meet current standards. Landlords face particular obligations to ensure rental properties comply with fire safety regulations. We help landlords across Naas, Newbridge, Maynooth, Celbridge and beyond to bring their properties up to standard efficiently and affordably.
Our quotes are clear and honest. We turn up when we say we will, work tidily, and leave your property clean when we finish. That straightforward approach has earned us repeat business and referrals from clients across Kildare.
FD30 gives 30 minutes fire resistance, FD60 gives 60 minutes protection.
Yes, for conversions, multi-unit properties, and extensions that create new storeys.
Intumescent strips, smoke seals, proper frame, certified hinges, and self-closing mechanism.
No. Cutting, drilling, or altering fire doors invalidates their certification completely.
Commercial premises every six months. Residential properties at least annually
