For more information on Leaderflush Shapland visit www.barbourproductsearch.info Certification All our doors and doorsets are fully certified to recognised performance standards. The company is accredited to BS EN ISO 9001: 2000. All fire resisting products are manufactured under the intensive BWF-CERTIFIRE independent product conformity scheme. Every fire door or doorset carries a tamper evident and fully traceable label with clear, essential information. Innovation Continuing product development and an exhaustive performance testing programme enable us to offer a wide scope of certified doorsets. In addition to regular performance testing by UKAS accredited independent bodies our in- house test facility allows continuous product development and quality assurance checks. Our test facilities include a furnace for full size doorsets, cyclic testing rigs, as well as equipment for assessing mechanical properties and security performance. But this innovative approach is also applied to customer service and procurement initiatives to meet the challenges of today’s construction industry. P. 05

The case for doorsets This research used single stage tenders for three real projects from reputable, national door contractors. With all building The doorset is a fully finished, engineered element comprising types considered, savings in capital costs were shown of frame, pre-hung door leaf (with any vision panels) and for doorsets over the average for contractors using site- essential ironmongery, all matched and pre-assembled in assembled unitary components clearly showing that: the factory. It is delivered to site as a package for reassembly and simple installation. Doorsets can save up to half the initial capital cost of traditional door assemblies. In contrast, traditional door assemblies consist of the same elements but usually from various different sources, with The doorset concept is a well-established example of the final assembly and finishing carried out on site – frequently prefabrication and off-site product techniques advocated involving different trades. today under the ‘Modern Methods of Construction’ banner. Current initiatives, based on ’Constructing Excellence’ Leaderflush Shapland doorsets are designed as complete, principles, call for greater efficiency and savings in all engineered units to meet specific performance requirements areas of the building industry, not just construction costs. To and manufactured to exacting standards from established satisfy these requirements, research has analysed differences components under factory conditions ensuring: in the procurement process and consequential time • minimised intervention on site implications for architect, consultant quantity surveyor and • consistent fitness for purpose main contractor’s estimator, between doorsets and unitary • straightforward replication of certified test conditions within component assemblies. the building Appendix B of Approved Document B This analysis showed that doorsets substantially simplified the procurement process and offered overall time/cost savings “Any test evidence used to substantiate the fire resistance of 50%. rating of a door should be carefully checked to ensure that it adequately demonstrates compliance and is applicable to the adequately complete installed assembly. Small Over 60 different components make up a typical storey differences in detail (such as glazing apertures, intumescent height door assembly. It is generally accepted within the strips, door frames and ironmongery etc) may significantly building industry that: affect the rating”. Substantial installation time and cost savings are achieved The importance of doorsets is acknowledged by BS 8214: on site with doorsets over unitary component assemblies. 1990 ‘Code of practice for fire door assemblies with non- metallic leaves’: “It is strongly recommended that pre-hung, pre-finished, “There is an overwhelming case for the use of performance fire doors (i.e. doorsets) are specified whenever possible as doorsets in place of site assemblies of unitary door components this reduces the amount of site work necessary and allows in today’s building industry.” normal factory quality control procedures to be applied to the finishing operations.” BS 8214 calls for testing of complete fire door assemblies or doorsets, fully representative of all aspects of how they will be used on site. For door assemblies, this is far more problematic with potential for combinations of mismatched, uncertified components and poor site practices. In addition to fire resistance, other performance criteria can be achieved and maintained more easily with doorsets, including: • smoke containment • sound reduction • durability This is due to the factory finishing, matching and fitting of the various components which work together to meet performance levels. Other guidance documents recognise this, such as HTM 58 Internal Doorsets: “The high performance standards required of door leaves, frames and ironmongery in health buildings can best be met when these components are accurately fitted and matched in a factory and delivered to site as a complete unit (i.e. doorset).” Independent research has addressed commonly held misconceptions about the capital costs of doorsets by using an objective comparison of realistic, current market prices P. 09

Three types of glazing bead are offered as standard – Timber Bolection, Timber Flush and Steel Trim – and these are used with various alternative details to suit specific fire ratings, aperture shapes and sizes. The available glazing details for each of the apertures shown below are indicated in the table opposite. Hardwood beads can either be fully polished, primed or painted to match the door. These are generally fixed with steel pins, punched in and filled, although other methods (such as screw fixings) are available.

Hinges Locks Hinges should be manufactured entirely from metallic Unlike latches, locks are needed to prevent the door from materials with a melting point higher than 800°C (unless opening by physical force. The locking mechanism can be proven by test). Standard finishes include bright zinc plate, incorporated in the same case as the latch (known as a ‘sash stainless steel, brass, chrome and powder coating to any lock’) or as a separate item (‘dead lock’).
