Side panel passes fire test
4th August 2015

HURST PLASTICS has added a complementary composite side panel to its composite fire door range after the panel passed testing at BM Trada.

Hurst is now one of very few of suppliers to offer a complete FD30S rated package, which includes a composite fire door plus fire rated top light and side light.

The company was an early entrant into the composite fire door market and had seen an increased demand for a complete solution in recent years. Mark Atkinson, Hurst Plastics’ Sales Director, explained: “Our composite fire door is designed to the highest specification and it has been used extensively in applications which require a fully approved FD30S fire doorset, including flats, shared entrances and multiple entrance dwellings. The introduction of this sidelight allows specifiers to create contemporary, light-filled entrances using advanced products that do not compromise on safety or security.”

Hurst worked closely with a number of the industry’s top material suppliers to develop the The sidelight incorporates a Eurocell series 70 PVC-u outer frame and Pyrodur fire rated double glazed units from Pilkington.

The Hurst composite fire door is outwardly indistinguishable from its standard composite door and is available in a variety of colour and style options. It offers a full half hour fire rating (30 minutes stability and 30 minutes integrity), which conforms to BS476: Part 22: 1987.
