Shelforce is looking to increase its capacity to manufacture its Fireshel 30-minute fire resistant door following unprecedented demand for the door for local authority projects in Birmingham last year.

From a standing start, the specialist fabricator which employs a 75% disabled workforce, was manufacturing 70 fire doors a week from its headquarters in Erdington and projections for 2022 mean the company is set to be even busier this year.

Business manager Howard Trotter, said: “With the projects we have booked in this year, plus the enquiries we are getting, we will have to increase our production capacity to cope.

“With almost 35,000 fire doors to replace in Birmingham, demand is set to remain both high and constant for local authority projects both this year and into the future.”

The Fireshel is a fully EN tested 3rd Party Accredited, replacement fire door set, which is compliant with the latest 2020 MHCLG Annex A recommendations.

Fire and smoke tested from both the inside and outside and PAS 024 Security tested, the door set, complete with fanlight glazing panel, achieved 49 minutes fire resistance when EN1634-1 tested. 

Howard continued: “The reason we launched the Fireshel was to set the standard for local authorities when it comes to fire doors as it ticks every single fire, smoke and security box.

 “We have always prided ourselves on providing products that allow our citizens and communities to enjoy a safe and comfortable environment.”
