Testing Information

Following recent testing by Cranfield Ordnance Test and Evaluation Centre at West Lavington, our specialist door sets were proven to offer considerable protection against explosive blasts typically associated with the use of explosive devices by criminals and terrorists. As with all our door sets they are available in a wide variety of finishes and non-standard sizes.

This success with testing for blast effect enables us to offer doors to suit the upgrading and replacement market, as well as new applications, with customised finishes such as paints, veneers and panel effects to suit individual requirements.
