doorset leaves & facings

All Leaderflush Shapland door leaves are designed to meet specific performance levels as tested – notably compliance with requirements for BWF-CERTIFIRE certified, fire-rated doorsets – and are manufactured to exacting standards which exceed the guidance offered by BS 8214. Selection of materials and construction methods have been developed with many years experience to best achieve specified performance, while adhering to our environmental policy, appropriate standards and regulations. Core construction is simply determined by us from the combination of performance requirements selected from the product range brochures. However, door leaf designations are summarised below with relevant performance characteristics, for background information.

BS 8214 recognises the importance of balancing dissimilar door facings to avoid exaggerated distortions in the door leaf and this is catered for as part of our service. Choices of door lippings for each product range are described in product brochures. For paired leaves, we offer square meeting stiles, as rebated meeting stiles are not recommended in BS 8214, nor do we have test evidence to support their use in fire rated situations.
