Rockdoor takes the heat.

A change in the fire regulations has required Rockdoor's range of composite doors to be retested.

Rockdoor achieved the required standard of withstanding fire for half an hour.

But statistics from the test show the strength of the product.

Although only required to withstand high temperatures for 30 minutes, the door passed its test with an impressive margin.

At 42 minutes the temperature in the testing chamber was 891degC.

Rockdoor lasted until 44 minutes, 14 minutes longer than the required standard.

Mark Simm, Rockdoor's Sales Director, comments: "The temperatures reached in the test chamber are tremendous".

"Rockdoor withstood these temperatures for longer than the required standard.

This shows its strength and durability.

It is one of the most substantial doors available.

Not only is it designed to withstand the elements but it looks good too.".
