Shadcore is a solid core door which can provide fire resistance up to 60 minutes in an extensive size range. The doors can be supplied to meet acoustic and mechanical requirements to suit project needs. Available as internal fire door and non-fire rated door.

Features and benefits:

Shadcore allows a more extensive size range than the ENcore doors, with larger glazing areas possible.
Concealed hinges are available.
Fire doors can be supplied with postformed PVC laminate facings for greater impact resistance.
Consistent and durable graduated-density particleboard core construction does not require additional sub-facings or internal framing.
Independent third party fire test reports or assessments can be provided for every individual door type supplied, even though purpose-made.
Doors with resistance to cold smoke are also available, as required in many applications.
Doors achieve high levels of mechanical performance, strength and dimensional stability.
Acoustic doors, with fire resistance if required, are also available.
Glazed apertures can be included without compromising performance.
BM TRADA Q-Mark or equivalent.

Ironmongery:

Doors can be supplied with any suitable ironmongery permitted either by the Code of Practice for Essential Hardware, published by the Door and Hardware Federation, or under a reputable independent third party quality assurance scheme. There is a wide choice for which fire performance has been validated by test.
Fire doors must be hinged or pivoted and have some form of self-closing device; they may be latched or unlatched. Door closers must comply with BS EN 1154:1996. Concealed overhead closers are possible in some applications.

Sub frames:

Shadbolt can supply assembled and braced sub frames with all doors if required. The use of sub frames is recommended due to the fact:

They can be incorporated in the computerised door schedule at an early stage and are accurately manufactured in factory conditions.
Sub frames provide sufficient tolerances to enable manufacture of doors to proceed before construction of the structural openings. Without sub frames, it is often necessary to delay manufacture until a site survey can be carried out of openings as built.
