How fire resistant is Qwood?
Last updated September 27th, 2022
Timber beads in fire doors have long been viewed as one of the weakest parts of a fire door. By switching from traditional timber beads to Qwood you are able to improve the fire resistant of a fire door. Qwood is more flame retardant than its timber equivalent. For more information on fire testing call 0161 627 4222. Qwood are happy to supply FOC beads for testing and also to be involved in any fire tests as required. A number of composite door manufacturers have used Qwood in their fire doors and have achieved 30 minute and 60 minute fire ratings with Qwood glazing beads.
