The Gerda Security Design Advantage

Gerda Security’s approach to steel fire door sets is centred on providing maximum protection without sacrificing design. The Contemporary Range excels in several areas:

• Certified Fire Protection: Every door set is tested and fully compliant with UK fire safety standards, ensuring your property is safeguarded.
• Unmatched Durability: Steel doors are highly resistant to everyday wear, making them a long-term investment for busy locations.
• Design Flexibility: Available in a range of finishes and styles, the Contemporary Range offers customisation options that blend seamlessly into any building design.
• Cost-Effective: Steel fire doors offer lifetime value due to their low maintenance needs.

Steel vs. Timber: The Key Differences

While both steel and timber fire doors serve the same primary function – preventing the spread of fire and smoke – there are several factors to consider when choosing between the two. Gerda Security’s Contemporary Range of steel fire door sets offers unique benefits, including:

Durability and Longevity

One of the most significant advantages of steel fire doors is their durability. Steel is incredibly resistant to everyday wear, making it a perfect fit for high-traffic areas, and deployments in buildings like offices, hospitals, and public buildings. In environments where doors are frequently used and exposed to the elements, steel maintains its integrity longer, reducing the need for repairs or replacement.

This durability means steel fire doors can save on repair and replacement costs, and provide great lifetime value (as detailed in Gerda’s lifetime value guide).

Fire-Rated Steel Doors

Yes, steel doors can be fire-rated, and Gerda Security’s fire-rated steel doors are rigorously tested to ensure that they comply with, and exceed building regulations. These doors are designed to withstand fire for a specific period of time, helping to slow the spread of flames and protect lives and property.

To ensure your steel fire door is fire-rated, look for the certification labels that Gerda Security includes with all of its fire-rated products. These labels detail the duration of fire resistance (typically 30 or 60 minutes) and confirm compliance with the required safety standards.

Aesthetic Flexibility

For property developers and architects, aesthetics can be as important as safety. Gerda’s Contemporary Range of steel fire doors offers sleek, modern designs with a range of finishes that can complement various architectural styles.

While timber fire doors like those in the Safer Homes range are favoured for traditional or heritage buildings due to their natural look, steel fire doors are often chosen for modern flat entrances, where sleek design and minimalist aesthetics are preferred.

Recommended Installations for Steel Fire Door Sets

Steel fire door sets are often recommended for high-traffic environments and buildings requiring enhanced security. The Contemporary Range offers essential protection for occupants while maintaining a sleek, modern look. If you are looking for internal fire door sets designed for residential complexes, especially high-rise apartments, the Contemporary Range is a great choice.
