Heavy-Duty Fire Doors in Newcastle | Newcastle & Hunter Suppliers
At NEDF, we manufacture top-tier, multi-purpose fire rated doors in Newcastle, engineered for both internal and external installations. Consequently, structural engineers and commercial builders across the Hunter region trust our products to deliver premium fire containment for industrial, commercial, and multi-residential projects.
To achieve this level of protection, we encase a specialized, fire-resistant vermiculite core within a rugged hardwood timber frame. More importantly, we manufacture every single unit to meet strict AS1530 Part 4 criteria, which certifies them under AS1905 Part 1 of the Australian building code. Furthermore, our production processes update continuously to align with the latest National Construction Codes.
In addition to life-safety compliance, these doors offer clean, modern aesthetics. We provide a massive variety of facing options, meaning you never have to compromise on visual style to get maximum security and durability. Moreover, our team can factory-fit an extensive range of specialized hardware upon request. To match your specific architectural blueprints, we offer custom framing configurations for single or double widths, as well as multiple swing directions.
