Architraves

Performance timber fire doors

Architraves can be supplied in either softwood, matching hardwoods, veneered MDF or factory-primed MDF. These are available in standard and non-standard profiles. They are normally supplied pre-mitred and left long in lengths to be cut on site. Architraves are available in any dimension to suit all door frame designs and can be bespoke-manufactured to exact requirements and patterns, as required.

Fire Doors Manufactured by Ahmarra for Bournemouth & Poole College’s Lansdowne Campus

Ahmarra were proud to manufacture over 250 Q-Mark certified fire doorsets, non-fire doorsets and glazed screens for Bournemouth & Poole College’s new purpose-built four-storey teaching facility within its Lansdowne campus.

Navigating the Transition from BS 476 Part 22 to BS EN 1634-1: What It Means for Fire Door Specification

In 2024, the UK Government confirmed that the BS 476 National Classification standards will be withdrawn from Approved Document B (England) in favour of BS EN 13501. A five-year transition period means that fire-resistant products such as doorsets will need to be classified to EN 13501-2 by 2nd September 2029. At Ahmarra, we’re working closely with our component suppliers and systems houses to complete the required fire testing to BS EN 1634-1.

The quality of communication through Danny and Phil has been outstanding. AMS have gone through a period of transition recently on this project and Ahmarra have accommodated any requests for further detail without any delay or issue. The project is a challenging site and they clearly have experience of working in a hospital environment. The installation and finished product of Ahmarra’s doors is easy to recommend and the doorset finish is exceptional. The installers are receptive to snags and appreciate a good working relationship with our clerk of works. It’s clear now to see the installers take great pride in their finish. Keep up the excellent work.
