Fire doors are one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect lives and property. When installed correctly, they contain fire and smoke within a limited area, keeping escape routes clear and buying vital time for evacuation. In County Offaly, from the county town of Tullamore to the heritage streets of Birr and the commuter belt around Edenderry, property owners are increasingly aware of their fire door responsibilities. Bright Star Joinery helps them meet those obligations.
We supply and install FD30, FD60 and FD90 fire rated doors to residential and commercial properties across Offaly. Based in Dublin, we cover the entire county and can be on site quickly for surveys and installations. Our joiners understand that fire door fitting is specialist work requiring attention to detail. A fire door hung with incorrect gaps, missing seals or unsuitable hardware is a fire door that may fail when it matters most. We make sure every installation we complete is done right.
Whether you need a single fire door fitted in a rental flat, a complete set installed in a new build, or an upgrade programme across multiple commercial units, we have the skills and experience to deliver. Offaly property owners trust us for fire doors because we combine quality workmanship with honest pricing and reliable service.
Fire doors are tested in laboratory conditions and given a rating based on how long they resist fire. Choosing the right rating for each location in your building is essential for compliance and safety.
FD30 Fire Doors provide 30 minutes of fire resistance. These are the standard specification for most residential properties in Offaly. If you own or manage flats, apartments, HMOs or houses with attached garages, FD30 doors are likely required on escape routes and between certain areas of the building. They are also commonly fitted to cupboards housing boilers or electrical equipment.
FD60 Fire Doors hold back fire for 60 minutes. Commercial buildings, apartment blocks, nursing homes, hotels and schools typically require FD60 doors in key locations such as stairwells and corridors forming part of escape routes. Offaly has seen steady commercial development, and many newer premises need FD60 specification to satisfy building control.
FD90 Fire Doors offer 90 minutes of protection. These are used in industrial settings, large commercial premises and buildings where regulations demand extended fire resistance. Some of Offaly’s business parks and industrial estates include buildings requiring FD90 doors for certain applications.
We survey your Offaly property, identify where fire doors are needed, and recommend the correct rating for each location. Our advice is straightforward and based on regulations, your insurer’s requirements and practical common sense.
Fire doors protect people. That is their purpose, and it is why correct installation is so important. A fire door that looks fine but has gaps that are too wide, seals in the wrong position, or a closer that does not work properly is a fire door that could fail catastrophically in a real fire. At Bright Star Joinery, we never let that happen.
Our joiners know fire door installation inside out. We ensure frames are square and true before hanging doors. We maintain gap tolerances within the tight limits required for certification. We fit intumescent strips and smoke seals in their correct positions so they function as designed. We use hinges rated to withstand fire conditions and closers that pull doors firmly shut every time. When we hand over a completed job, you have fire doors that will perform when called upon.
Offaly landlords rely on us to bring rental properties into compliance ahead of inspections. Property managers trust us to upgrade fire doors in apartment complexes efficiently and with minimum disruption to residents. Builders call us to complete fire door packages on new developments to programme. Business owners depend on us to keep staff and customers safe. Whatever the project, we bring the same commitment to doing it right.
Our quotes are detailed and transparent. We keep to agreed schedules, work tidily, and leave properties clean. Reliable service from joiners who take fire safety seriously.
