How do I protect my riser doors before practical completion?
Fire Door Club |

Riser doors are not just about providing a high-performance door to provide access to electrical and mechanical services, but our Quadra+ system comes in a range of different finishing and frame options, as we know aesthetics are important.

A common scenario on site, the riser doors are fitted and looking great and then 6 months down the line when practical completion comes around the doors are scratched, dented or damaged in some way and require replacing costing you time and money.

Option 1 - Corex

Firstly, the quickest and lowest cost option is for us to provide you with protective sheet and tape that can be applied once the door is fitted protecting it from scrapes, scratches and damage. Corex and tape are both provided, the tape being a specialist high tack low residue tape which ensure maximum adhesion to the door leaf but not leave any residue behind however long it is left on there.

Option 2 - Quadra Temporary Riser Doors

The first option is a great low cost and quick option but for riser doors that are installed early and are subject to medium to high usage before completion such as electrical risers this can sometimes not be enough as the Corex will not stop dents and severe misuse. Your solution here is to use the Selo Quadra temporary riser door. The way this works is we provide the final frame with a temporary door so the doorset can be fitted and which is fully fire compliant, it also comes with a threshold protector to ensure the threshold doesn’t get damaged.

Then when practical completion nears the temporary door can be removed and the finished door fitted. With the unique Selo quick release pivot system this is an extremely quick and simple process. The finished door leaves do not have to be delivered until exactly when you need them so there is no storage on site, we can also take away the temporary door leaves from site for you.

This way the final door is not subjected to any misuse and no replacements or extra labour are required. In this process, the final doors do not have to be delivered to site at the same time as the temporary doors, which prevents the final doors from getting damaged before they are installed. We can also collect the temporary doors when we deliver the final doors and dispose of them for you
