How complete doorsets will speed up office refurbs
Whether it’s a landlord preparing a floor for a new tenant or a business refreshing its workspace, office refurbishment timelines are tight, with contractors juggling multiple trades. Any delays are costly. With more than 70 years of manufacturing made-to-measure fire doors, frames and ironmongery, we at Enfield Doors know where the bottlenecks are, and how complete doorsets can help prevent them!
The pressure of fast-paced office refurbs
Modern offices can change shape quickly. Many companies want flexible spaces to include: smart meeting rooms, private pods, collaborative zones and often, improved acoustics. Fit-out teams often work back-to-back with other trades, so any hold-up — especially on essential items like fire doors — can cause a chain reaction.
This is where traditional, piecemeal door supply often becomes a problem.
Where time is lost with regular fire doors
When doors, frames, hinges, seals, glazing and ironmongery all come from different suppliers, even small mismatches can stall progress. For example;
- Frames arrive that don’t match the door leaf
- Ironmongery doesn’t align with fire certificates
- Vision panels or glazing don’t meet building control requirements
- Acoustic ratings fall short of spec
- Installation takes longer because items weren’t designed to work together
At best, this leads to time spent adjusting, packing out or reordering components. At worst, it results in post-completion compliance issues – causing further delays.
What is a complete doorset?
A complete doorset brings everything together in one fully certified package, including:
- Door leaf
- Made-to-measure frame
- All required ironmongery
- Fire seals and intumescent materials
- Optional glazing, acoustic or security upgrades
At Enfield Doors, we manufacture all doorsets in-house, meaning every component is designed to work perfectly as one unit. This means faster installation, fully certified doors and complete peace of mind.
Avoid post-completion compliance problems
When it comes to Fire doors, compliance is non-negotiable. Offices have increasingly high safety and acoustic expectations. With our fully certified doorsets as a single unit, you avoid the usual guesswork around compatibility.
So, when building control arrives, everything is already aligned with the right fire rating, hardware and installation instructions. Meaning no last-minute changes, no remedial works, and no delays to handover.
Add on the features offices actually need
More often than not, office environments benefit from doors that do far more than meet a basic fire rating. At Enfield, our made-to-measure doorsets can include:
- Glazing and vision panels for transparency and light
- Acoustic ratings ideal for meeting rooms and collaborative zones
- Enhanced security for server rooms, storage and restricted access areas
- Finger trap protection ideal in high-traffic communal spaces
- Timber finishes to match the interiors or design requirements
- Frames, skirting and architraves manufactured to match any profile
And because everything is produced in-house, it’s simple to tailor each doorset to the layout and purpose of the space.
