Virtually indistinguishable from the standard front and rear entrance doors and therefore ideal where a project demands a consistent approach across a range of different housing stock. Moreover, the PDS timber fire door has been Intelligently designed to provide the same high specification, in terms of enhanced security and sound insulation, with inherent resistance to intruders, surface impact, and thermal distortion, without notably differentiating or compromising the highly favourable visible appearance. Further flexibility is afforded by the opportunity to choose from a variety of non wired, clear and obscure fire resistant double glazing - providing a degree of coherance between standard house types and high rise, communal, sheltered blocks, and multi level dwellings, where protected access to an external escape route may be required. Delivered to site pre hung and fully factory finished, minimising both installation time and occupant inconvenience, this PDS doorset comprehensively satisfies the increasingly complex performance requirements demanded of modern door entrance systems.
