At Gerda Security, we specialise in contemporary fire doors that combine advanced fire resistance, modern aesthetics, and high-security standards. With over 25 years of expertise, we design and manufacture the Contemporary Range and Safer Homes Range to protect lives and enhance the visual appeal of both residential and commercial buildings.
These contemporary internal fire doors are engineered to meet FD30 and FD60 standards, providing at least 30-60 minutes of fire protection while integrating seamlessly with modern interiors. They are ideal for high-rise flats, multi-occupancy properties, and commercial buildings, offering a perfect blend of safety, durability, and design flexibility.
What Are Contemporary Fire Doors?
The Gerda Security Contemporary Range is a fire-rated doorset designed with modern styling in mind. Unlike traditional fire doors, these models feature sleek lines, minimalist details, and versatile finishes while still providing essential fire protection.
These doorsets act as a barrier against fire and smoke, allowing occupants time to evacuate safely. Manufactured with high-performance steel, the Contemporary Range meets the most stringent fire safety and security standards.
How Do Contemporary Fire Doors Work?
Fire doorsets are built using fire-resistant cores that slow the spread of flames. A Gerda Security Contemporary Range doorset is fitted with intumescent seals, which expand when exposed to heat, blocking fire and smoke from spreading through gaps. This containment is crucial in multi-occupancy buildings where fire safety is a legal requirement.

Types of Contemporary Fire Doors
Different buildings require different fire doorset solutions. Our Gerda contemporary doors come in a range of styles, ensuring safety without compromising aesthetics.
Glazed Fire Doorsets
Glazed fire doorsets incorporate fire-resistant glass panels that allow light to pass through while maintaining FD30 or FD60 protection. These are ideal for office spaces, communal areas, and high-end residential properties where natural light is essential.
Flush Fire Doorsets
A flush fire doorset features a smooth, flat surface, creating a minimalist look that suits modern interiors. These doorsets are popular in commercial offices, hotels, and apartments, providing a discreet yet highly functional fire protection solution.
