When it comes to protecting life and property, fire doors are a critical part of any building’s safety strategy, whether in residential developments, commercial premises or shared living spaces. Distinction Doors & Nova recognises this essential role, and their fire door systems (FDS) deliver both peace of mind and outstanding performance for trade partners, specifiers and homeowners alike. 

Safety You Can Rely On

The Distinction Doors FDS range is a fully compliant FD30 composite fire door system designed to meet the rigorous requirements of Approved Document B of the UK Building Regulations. These doors are independently tested and certified to provide a consistent and dependable standard of fire resistance, helping protect occupants and contents should the worst happen.

Each fire door within the range is engineered with a robust composite construction, combining strength with tested fire performance, giving clients confidence that the product will perform as expected in real fire conditions. 

Trusted Testing and Certification

Distinction’s fire door systems undergo independent bi‑directional fire testing, demonstrating proven protection for both life and property. These tests verify consistent performance even when installed in different wall constructions, giving architects and specifiers assurance that the doors work as part of a complete fire strategy. 

The FDS range complies with widely recognised fire standards and incorporates third‑party certification through schemes like BM Trada’s Q‑Mark Fire Door Manufacturer programme. This rigorous accreditation means each stage of the supply chain, up to and including doorset manufacture, is independently audited for quality and performance.

Versatility Meets Design

Fire safety doesn’t mean sacrificing aesthetics. The Distinction fire door range offers a variety of solid and glazed options, allowing you to tailor door solutions to project requirements while maintaining design intent. Choose fire doors with clear or feature glazing, or pair them with overhead glazed fanlights and sidelights for enhanced natural light where appropriate.

To ensure accessibility and compliance with modern building standards, the doorsets can also be specified with low thresholds, helping meet Approved Document M requirements for accessible routes.

Colour and Finish Options

While fire performance is paramount, Distinction Doors haven’t forgotten about style. The FDS range comes in a selection of standard colours, with the possibility of specifying RAL colour options for a tailored finish that complements the rest of your project palette. 

Assured Performance in Real‑World Conditions

In addition to fire resistance, the FDS systems are designed to deliver well‑rounded performance:

• Smoke control — essential for safe evacuation and visibility in fire scenarios.
• Security and durability — built as a composite doorset that meets modern standards so the door performs well in everyday use.
• Weather and thermal performance — tested against relevant standards like BS 6375, ensuring resilience in external applications (with appropriate certification).

Choosing a high‑quality fire door system from a trusted supplier like Nova ensures not only compliance but reliability,  an investment that protects both people and property.
