Safety & Security Shelforce looking to increase fire door manufacturing capacity B
irmingham window and door manufacturer Shelforce is looking to increase its capacity to cope with the demand for its Fireshel
30-minute fire resistant door. Aſter launching the Fireshel into the market in
2020, sales of the door exceeded expectations last year for local authority projects in Birmingham. From a standing start, Shelforce was
manufacturing 70 fire doors a week from its headquarters in Erdington – and projections for 2022 mean the company is set to be even busier this year. Howard Trotter, Business Manager at Shelforce,
proud winners of four awards last year including the 2021 Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) Business of the Year, said: “With the projects we have booked in this year, plus the enquiries we are getting, we will have to increase our production capacity to cope. “With almost 35,000 fire doors to replace in
Birmingham, demand is set to remain both high and constant for local authority projects both this year and into the future.” Te Fireshel provides the perfect solution for
local authorities who need fully EN tested 3rd Party Accredited, replacement Fire Door sets, which are compliant with the latest 2020 MHCLG Annex A recommendations. Fire and smoke tested from both the inside and
outside and PAS 024 Security tested, the door set, complete with fanlight glazing panel, achieved 49 minutes fire resistance when EN1634-1 tested.
Te Fireshel offers the end user assurance
that all the components used in its manufacture have been tested and approved against the new 2020 Q Mark Fire and Security Composite door Set requirements. “Te reason we launched the Fireshel was to set
the standard for local authorities when it comes to fire doors as it ticks every single fire, smoke and security box,” added Howard. “We have always prided ourselves on providing products that allow
our citizens and communities to enjoy a safe and comfortable environment.” Shelforce specialises in providing high-quality
PVCu and aluminium products to local authority building projects such as Birmingham City Council. For more information, please contact the company.

Yeoman Shield Fire Door Services offer assurance to clients Y
eoman Shield Fire Door Services division continues to go from strength to strength with the addition of a new team member
and new personnel accreditations. Technical Advisor, Richard Bingley
and Technical Supervisor, Shaun Stevenson, already have the Diploma in Fire Doors. Both have now increased their portfolio of certification, having recently sat for, and to their credit, achieved the FDIS Fire Door Inspection qualification. “Te FDIS Fire Door Inspection qualification
assures our clients that our Fire Door Services supervisors have the essential skills to carry out fire door inspections with the knowledge
to identify non-compliant issues,” commented Contracts Director, Richard Good. With an in-depth understanding of the
regulations, components, compartmentation, and function, Richard and Shaun can also advise on remedial work required to bring damaged fire doors back to an acceptable standard under best practice guidance. Offering accepted repair techniques can
help reduce the cost of remedial work to non- conforming fire doors whilst a regular Fire Door inspection and maintenance routine will ensure that problematic issues can be dealt with before they get to the point of total fire door replacement. Yeoman Shield Fire Door Services has been
further enhanced by the internal promotion of Gemma Batley to the team. Richard Good explained: “Gemma has worked
within the company for many years as a Senior Sales Coordinator and has great understanding of our fire rated door protection products and will certainly be an asset to the division.” Gemma has been appointed as a Fire Door
Supervisor and will undertake training to achieve both the FDIS Fire Door Diploma and Fire Door Inspection qualifications as she progresses. For more information on Yeoman Shield Fire
