  My apartment complex is undergoing renovations, and we need to install new fireproof doors in hallways and stairwells. I want to make sure they comply with fire safety regulations and are also aesthetically suitable for residential use. Does anyone have recommendations on manufacturers that offer both safety and good design? Are there any specific certifications I should look for in these doors?

  Choosing the right fireproof doors for residential buildings is a balance between compliance and design. From experience, doors should meet at least an FD30 or FD60 rating (BS 476 Part 22), meaning they provide 30 to 60 minutes of fire resistance. Fireresist specializes in manufacturing stylish fire doors that meet UK safety standards without compromising aesthetics. Their MB-78EI doors offer a modern look while ensuring fire protection up to EI90, which is more than enough for residential buildings. One thing to consider is the door frame and seals-many people focus only on the door itself, but an improperly installed frame or damaged seals can make even the best fire-rated door ineffective. I'd recommend getting professional installation to ensure compliance with regulations. Also, consider self-closing mechanisms to prevent doors from being left open, as this significantly improves fire safety in apartment buildings.
