Premium Steel Doors Manufactured in Britain
Helping Specifiers Get It Right
Strongdor’s first RIBA-accredited Continuing Professional Development session, “Beyond the Flames: Demystifying Fire-Rated Steel Doors,” is now live. Created to support industry professionals with practical, product-specific insight, the CPD focuses on the vital role of fire-rated steel doors in today’s built environment.
Aligned with our mission to make life easier for specifiers, this CPD delivers clear, actionable guidance on selecting doors that meet stringent safety and performance requirements.
What Makes It RIBA Approved?
To meet RIBA approval, a CPD must be independently assessed for relevance, educational value, and alignment with RIBA’s core curriculum. These sessions support architects and specifiers in fulfilling their 35-hour annual CPD requirement, while also offering assurance that the content meets the institute’s quality standards.
Strongdor’s CPD is purpose-built to support professionals working with performance steel doors, particularly those seeking to confidently specify doors that meet the latest fire safety requirements.
What You’ll Learn in This CPD
Fundamentals of Fire Door Design
The session begins with an overview of the essential design and performance characteristics of fire-rated steel doors. This includes how doors are constructed, why fire resistance ratings are important, and how to select products that suit your project’s risk profile.
You’ll gain an understanding of the difference between fire resistance durations, what certifications to look for, and the technical features that support dual certification for both fire and security performance.
Testing and Compliance Explained
The CPD also covers how fire-rated steel doors are tested, assessed and certified. You’ll get clear explanations of EN standards and UK-specific requirements, with guidance on what specifiers need to document to ensure compliance.
The content draws directly from Strongdor’s experience in manufacturing and testing certified products, including those used in bespoke commercial, industrial and public-sector environments.
