Fire Rated Crittall Doors

[jacktoyou]

Any idea how much fire rated crittall doors would set you back and recommendations on suppliers?

Will need to be fire rated.

2400 x 1850 and 750 x 1950

Nothing useful to add, but I hope you'll forgive my saying that if you own (and more importantly maintain without "modernising) the type of property that uses Critall windows and doors, you are a hero to me and I aspire to live in that same elegant style one one.

I adore for example, Silver End and Le Château is on my "lottery list", that now said, I hope your next reply is more pertinent and useful. Thank you for your indulgence.

What fire rating?

The glass will be the greatest variable, but the price depends on whether you require 30minutes or 60minutes FR and also whether the application needs just integrity (E) or insulation and integrity (EI) to comply with Building Regulations.

Speak to Metwin in Harlow - genuine Crittall.

May not be the cheapest but will provide a benchmark for quality vs manufacturers of "similar products".

You could also look at The Steel Door Company:

https://steeldoorcompany.co.uk/


Cost will depend on:
- Material i.e. steel or aluminium
- Design requirements i.e. number / thickness of transoms/mullions
- Fire rating - IE code required, FR duration

If you are looking for a genuine Crittall or similarly high-quality steel internal doors with 30-min FR, anticipate in the region of £4-5K for the 750mm & £12-15K for the 2400mm.

I most certainly do (although I'm not 100% happy with the double glazed replacements for the curved windows in the tower).



Poor old thing is quite tumbled down from her prime, there used to be a striped canopy above the balcony, that looks to have mostly rotted away now. This photo was taken in 2012, and it's not had a single penny of investment or repair since. Terribly sad state for a listed building in such an architecturally important area. The other large property "Wolverton" is still in very good order, and a true credit to the people who live there, so all is not lost, but by god I'd dearly love to save Le Chateau from ruin in my lifetime.

Chapeau.

Our previous home was Woodpeckers, 1929. Very art deco, I'd done a lot of work, but there was still a huge amount to do, redundancy and covid happened, we sold it.

I don't see any art deco in that, perhaps just a hint of arts and crafts but deco it aint.
