Timber Door Sets
Our timber door sets combine traditional craftsmanship with modern CNC manufacturing, offering fire-rated, acoustic, and security options. Each door is certified to BS EN 9001:2015 standards, ensuring durability and compliance. Available in veneered, primed, or laminate finishes, they cater to residential, commercial, and healthcare projects requiring both aesthetic appeal and functional performance.
Fire-Rated Doors
Certified fire-rated doors (FD30 to FD120) provide up to 120 minutes of fire resistance. Constructed with high-density particle board cores and intumescent seals, they meet Building Regulations Part B. Ideal for high-rise buildings and healthcare facilities, these doors integrate seamlessly with our acoustic and security solutions while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
Acoustic Doors
Acoustic-rated doors reduce noise transmission up to 43dB, complying with Part E of the Building Regulations. Designed for multi-room projects, they feature dense core materials and precision-fitted hardware. These doors are ideal for hotels, apartments, and healthcare settings where sound insulation is critical to occupant comfort and privacy.
Glazed Screens
Fire-rated and acoustic glazed screens offer transparency and safety. Available in FD30 and FD60 ratings, they use certified safety glass and hardwood/softwood frames. Suitable for commercial spaces requiring light transmission without compromising fire or sound insulation, with options for integral blinds and custom finishes.
Custom Hardware
Synthesis Hardware provides certified ironmongery, including multi-point locks, hinges, and handles. Compliant with PAS24 and Secured by Design standards, these components enhance security and aesthetics. Available in satin, chrome, and gold finishes, they are precision-fitted to ensure seamless integration with our door sets.
