I am doing the 2nd fix on a loft conversion in a victorian semi, . I need to install 1/2 hour fire, 4 panel, 2 foot 3inch doors to the new bedrooms. (5
1/4 inch )I have looked at Magnets and Alsfords and am confused by the choice.
Alsfords do John Carr doors at about £170 per door plus the casings and vat. Intumescent strips are fitted to the door edges on 3 sides.
Magnets have a 'canterbury' range at about £85 per door. I think they are moulded. Intumescent strips are extra and are rebated into the liners.
I want to do a good quality job, but is the extra cost of the more expensive doors justified ?
Thanks
John
