I am thinking of putting it on my workshop door, now that I am getting a tenant. However it seems to be only available in sheets of 8x4.
It is not clear if you are doing this as part of some regulatory requirement or because something is better than nothing.
If it happens to be in order to meet a regulation, you may also need fire-rated hinges and intumescent strip in the frame.
I may have got this wrong, but I thought if you screw stuff on to a fire door you can void the fire rating. I vaguely recall something like that from work.No, just thinking how I can improve it. It may already be a fire door, but it doesn't look like it. My other thought was a steel sheet one side of the door (risk side). Surely that would be better performing than Masterboard and cheaper?
Steel sheet would get hot. Some boards will char and have better fire rating, don't they?No, just thinking how I can improve it. It may already be a fire door, but it doesn't look like it.

no sometimes you need a better fire rated door than what can be fittedI may have got this wrong, but I thought if you screw stuff on to a fire door you can void the fire rating. I vaguely recall something like that from work.
Can see where this threads going,knock the whole place down and rebuild itwhats the rest of the building ceiling wise .no point in doin half a job if the ceiling isnt fire rated
