Fire Stopping Ventilation: The Role of Fire Block Louvre Systems

Allegion UK, a leading name in fire safety hardware with a trusted reputation for keeping people safe where they live, learn, work, and connect, discusses the importance of adequate ventilation and combining air movement with fire protection when both are needed.

Supplier of the Zero FBLS Fire Block Louvre System, Allegion UK offers an extensive range of innovative fire door hardware designed to improve the effectiveness of fire doors in containing the spread of fire, smoke and heat.

Why Ventilation Matters

Buildings that don’t breathe properly can become health hazards. Poor indoor air quality, from elevated CO2 to VOCs emitted by everyday materials, contributes to headaches, respiratory irritation and dips in concentration and productivity. Inadequate ventilation is a particular concern in offices, classrooms, plant rooms and other enclosed spaces where people spend long periods of time.

Door louvres are a straightforward, effective way to improve air circulation, helping to reduce moisture, dispersing pollutants and supporting temperature control. But where air can pass, so can smoke and flame. That’s why a conventional louvre is not suitable for fire-rated doors.

Iain Banks, Product Marketing Manager at Allegion UK, commented: “When you need airflow and fire protection in the same opening, a fire block louvre is the sensible and compliant option for your steel fire doors. Metal louvres will provide the ventilation you need in offices, classrooms, plant rooms, stores and other areas, but the Zero FBLS Fire Block Louvre System assures that ventilation doesn’t become a route for smoke or fire.”

Balancing Air Movement & Fire Safety

The ideal solution for both factory-fitting and retrofit applications, the FBLS Fire Block Louvre System accommodates door thicknesses from 29 mm upwards and provides a 40% free area for effective airflow. At the centre of the FBLS is an intumescent fire block, which, under high temperatures, expands to seal the opening, choking off the passage of fire and cold smoke, while the louvre remains unobtrusive in everyday use. The result is a practical, compliant solution for fire-rated doors that also require ventilation.

Iain continues: “Our fire block louvre systems are expertly manufactured in our workshop and are suitable for steel fire doors, providing up to 240 minutes of fire integrity. We have over 20 standard sizes available from stock and any size available to order from a minimum cut-out of 152 x 152mm.”

Hörmann SPU F42 Door Delivers Reliability and Performance for RNLI Lifeboat Station

Hörmann UK industrial trade partner, Norwich-based Cooks Doors, has successfully completed the installation of a Hörmann SPU F42 sectional door at the RNLI Lifeboat Station in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. Designed to perform in some of the UK’s most demanding environments, the new door provides the RNLI with a robust, reliable, and highly efficient solution to support its vital operations.

Measuring an impressive 7500 x 3650mm, the SPU F42 sectional door was specified for its strength, durability, and consistent performance in what is a challenging coastal setting. Manufactured from galvanised steel with a solid, double-skinned construction and a high-grade polyurethane foam core, the door offers excellent thermal efficiency, helping to maintain a stable internal environment within the lifeboat station. With a thermal insulation value of 1.2 W/m²K, the door helps reduce heat loss, supporting energy efficiency and creating a more comfortable working space for the RNLI crew.

Given the exposed coastal location, resistance to the elements was a key consideration. The SPU F42 achieves Class 3 performance for both wind load and water tightness, helping to protect the station interior, equipment, and lifeboats from harsh weather conditions. Additional corrosion protection has been applied to the door fittings to further enhance longevity, ensuring reliable operation despite constant exposure to salty sea air.

The door is finished externally in Gentian blue (RAL 5010), complementing the lifeboat station’s appearance, while the off-white interior finish (RAL 9002) helps to brighten the internal space. Two rows of vision panels were incorporated into the design, allowing increased natural light into the building and improving visibility without compromising strength or security.

Operational reliability is critical for the RNLI, where rapid response times are essential. The SPU F42 is powered by a 400v three-phase operator, providing smooth, dependable day-to-day operation. In the event of a power failure, a manual hand chain ensures the door can be operated, maintaining access at all times. Safety has also been prioritised, with an integrated safety edge that automatically stops the door if an obstruction is detected, helping to protect personnel, vehicles, and equipment.

The installation of the Hörmann SPU F42 sectional door will help ensure that RNLI Mablethorpe are able to launch quickly and effectively in all conditions, ultimately helping them continue their lifesaving work along the Lincolnshire coast.

Premier-Line: How One Sectional Garage Door Range Quietly Defined a Market Shift

In an industry often swayed by passing trends and aesthetic gimmicks, it is the quietly consistent performers that tend to leave the most lasting impact. Premier-Line, the sectional garage door range supplied exclusively by JDUK Door Systems, is one such example.

Launched just over 18 months ago, the range has steadily gained traction not by chasing trends, but by embodying the core principles that trade professionals have always valued: efficiency, reliability, and real-world performance. As conversations around home improvement increasingly shift towards longevity, practicality, and aesthetic consistency, Premier-Line has found itself perfectly aligned with these changing expectations. It may not have been designed in response to this shift, but it now stands as a benchmark for it.

"Premier-Line was developed with a clear focus on what really matters to the installer," explains Jason Wade, Sales & Marketing Director at JDUK. "We wanted to create a door that simplifies the job on site, reduces installation time, and consistently delivers a premium result. What we’re seeing now is that homeowners are beginning to value these same traits just as much."

The range features a suite of installer-first innovations. Pre-assembled vertical tracks, pre-tensioned springs, and pre-drilled fixing holes come as standard. For wider openings, doors up to 5500mm can be fitted with side tension springs, eliminating the need for overhead torsion systems and simplifying installation in a wider variety of spaces. Each feature is carefully considered, not just to make the fitter’s job easier, but to ensure repeatable, reliable performance.

This focus on practicality has led to enthusiastic adoption by many in the trade. The time savings delivered on site have helped businesses boost productivity, reduce complexity, and deliver a high-spec finish with fewer headaches. For busy installers balancing multiple jobs, the difference is tangible. But the appeal of Premier-Line extends well beyond ease of installation.

Its insulated panel construction offers strong thermal performance and structural durability, making it a solid choice for garages used as workshops, storage spaces, or as part of the home itself. Meanwhile, a broad palette of over 45 standard RAL colours, custom colour-matching options, and multiple panel styles give homeowners the visual flexibility they increasingly expect.

Jason explains, “We’re seeing more and more requests from customers who want a garage door that matches their front door, or their window frames, or the overall character of their home. Premier-Line makes that easy, without adding complication for the installer."

Premier-Line’s powder-coated finishes, available in both matte and textured options, offer high levels of resistance to UV, corrosion, and everyday wear. Even the hardware can be powder-coated to match, adding a final visual touch that contributes to the product’s growing reputation for design-led practicality.

JDUK has backed the range with its full-service support model, including technical help, pricing tools, colour swatches, and dedicated trade assistance. The company continues to refine Premier-Line based on installer feedback, making incremental improvements where needed and ensuring the range remains competitive without compromising on its core strengths.

"This isn’t a range that makes big promises and chases flashy features," says Jason. "It’s one that shows up, fits easily, performs well, and looks great doing it. That’s what installers respect. And increasingly, it’s what homeowners want too."

In a market that often celebrates the new and the novel, Premier-Line represents something more enduring: a sectional garage door range built on the fundamentals, which continues to earn trust through consistent delivery. As the industry continues to evolve, it may well be the quiet benchmarks like Premier-Line that set the tone for what the next generation of garage doors will look like.

DHF launches Core Competence in Building Hardware training courses

On 4th February 2025, DHF (Door & Hardware Federation) unveiled the UK’s first Ofqual-regulated and ABBE-accredited qualifications dedicated to the building hardware industry. The launch event was held at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon exclusively for DHF members of the Building Hardware Group, manufacturers from the Timber and Metal Doorset Groups, and invited industry guests. It marked an important milestone for the sector.

“This launch represented more than the introduction of a new training programme,” explains DHF’s Commercial Director, Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens. “Rather, it signalled a significant change in how competence in the building hardware industry is developed, measured and recognised. The qualification has been created by building hardware manufacturers, for manufacturers, and with a clear focus on quality, credibility and regulatory compliance.”

As the first Ofqual regulated qualification of its kind, and accredited by ABBE, the programme sets a new standard for professional competence in building hardware. It has been developed using more than 500 years of combined industry experience and reflects real working practice, current legislation, and growing expectations for proven competence across the built environment. DHF members and guests were the first to see this important development, marking not just the launch of a qualification but the start of a new approach to competence within the sector.

The event included presentations from Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens, DHF’s Commercial Director and Paul Johnson, DHF’s Project Manager who guided attendees through the journey of developing the training programme. Richard Bromley, Chair of the Building Hardware Group, Paul Browne, Chair of DHF, and Sam Howard of ABBE each spoke about the importance of regulated qualifications and their role in supporting higher industry standards. A live question and answer session followed, focusing on the development and future impact of the qualification, with the Q&A panel comprising DHF’s Paul Johnson, Kevin O’Reilly of Rutland UK, Neil Rule of Access2, and Richard Bromley. The discussion highlighted the collaborative effort across the industry to bring the programme to life.

“We were particularly pleased to welcome representatives from a wide range of organisations, including the Construction Products Association, Master Locksmiths Association, Police CPI, the Office for Product Safety and Standards, CITB, Nottinghamshire County Council Trading Standards, Clearview Group, and BRE,” concludes Patricia. “Their attendance demonstrated strong support for improving competence and meeting changing regulatory requirements.”

The qualification aligns with the Construction Product Competence Standard set out in the Construction Products Association White Paper and this places the programme at the forefront of wider competence reform, reinforcing DHF’s leadership in supporting a safer and more accountable built environment. DHF members will have exclusive access to the Core Competence in Building Hardware training courses for the first six months, with the programme due to launch in Spring 2026.

To register your interest in the Core Competence in Building Hardware training courses, please email training@dhfonline.org.uk

Goodwood Revival to celebrate Maserati’s racing centenary

The Goodwood Revival (18-20 September) will mark the centenary of Maserati’s first major triumph at the Targa Florio, with an exceptional collection of cars.

No marque in history has embraced the highs and lows of motorsport more enigmatically than Maserati. From beautiful cars and legendary drivers to glorious victories - and occasional setbacks - Maserati has always chased success with unmistakable, charismatic Italian flair.

Maserati’s ascent began in 1926, when Alfieri Maserati drove the pioneering Tipo 26 to a class win at the Targa Florio. It was the first of many triumphs, laying the foundation for decades of achievements across multiple motorsport disciplines.

At this year’s Revival, that legacy will be celebrated in true Italian style. From the cars on track to chic mid-century fashion, the event will embrace La Dolce Vita. Paddocks will be transformed to evoke the dusty, sun-soaked roads of post-war Sicily and the golden era of the Targa Florio, immersing visitors in the romance and spirit of Italy.

Across the weekend, more than 50 pre-’66 Maseratis will take to the track, each reflecting a defining moment in the marque's storied racing history. Visitors can expect the largest gathering of Maserati 250Fs, alongside notable models including the likes of the 150S, 200Si, 300S, 350S, 450S, 4CL, 4CM, 8C, 8CM, A6GCS, Tipo 151, Tipo 63, V4 and V8RI, amongst many others.

Customers can save on Goodwood Revival admission tickets during our early bird window, available now at goodwood.com

Hörmann Delivers a Complete Door Solution – Inside and Out

A contemporary renovation project in Leicestershire has been completed with the installation of a comprehensive suite of high-quality residential doors from Hörmann UK, showcasing the brand’s ability to deliver cohesive solutions both externally and internally...

The family home features a Hörmann sectional garage door and aluminium entrance door, complemented inside by a range of side-hinged, pocket, and fire doors. Carefully selected high-specification materials and contemporary finishes have been used throughout, ensuring a seamless match with the property’s modern architectural aesthetic and premium interior design.

Purchased by the current owners in 2023, the property came with planning permission already in place for a substantial extension. Building on this, the owners refined the scheme with a number of personal adjustments and selected Hörmann as their door partner of choice. Initially drawn to Hörmann’s sectional garage doors, they subsequently explored the wider range of entrance and internal doors, recognising a portfolio that aligned seamlessly with their ambition to deliver high-quality, modern solutions throughout the home.

Construction commenced in Autumn 2024, with all the internal and external doors supplied and fitted by Hörmann Partner Standard installer A S Doors of Melton Mowbary. The renovation was completed in time for Christmas 2025, delivering a stylish and cohesive finish both inside and out.

Externally, the property features a Hörmann LPU42 double-sized sectional garage door, designed with a 42mm thick door leaf that delivers excellent thermal efficiency—making it an ideal choice for the integrated garage. For added convenience and security, the door is fully automated with a Hörmann Supramatic P motor, operated by two hand transmitters. The door is finished in elegant Silkgrain, perfectly complementing the home’s modern architectural style, while the Agate grey (RAL 7038) colour harmonises seamlessly with the external cladding and overall material palette of the property.

A Hörmann ThermoSafe high-performance aluminium entrance door with a glazed side panel was selected to complement and match the style and premium finish of the sectional garage door. The door features a 73mm thick leaf, delivering excellent thermal efficiency with Thermosafe doors being able to achieve U-values as low as 0.8 W/(m²·K).

Equipped with the latest multi-point locking systems, it provides enhanced security and peace of mind against forced entry and achieves acoustic insulation of 30dB. To harmonise with the garage door and the home’s exterior aesthetic, the entrance door is finished in a silk matt Agate grey on both sides and features modern polished stainless-steel handles and concealed hinges for a flawless, contemporary finish.

Internally, the project was completed with a total of 12 Hörmann ProLine Duradecor doors, including nine side-hinged, two pocket, and a 30-minute fire door connecting the integral garage to the living area of the house. Constructed from high-quality timber materials with a vibrant, textured laminated surface, the doors deliver a clean, sophisticated finish that complements the home’s modern interior design.

The flush-fitted doors are finished in Salt Oak, providing a natural woodgrain texture that is both visually appealing and low-maintenance. The owners selected this colour to harmonise with the interior’s subtle tones and natural finishes, creating a cohesive and contemporary living environment. Supplied as complete door sets, the Hörmann interior doors are quick and easy to install, with all locks, handles, and hinges pre-routed. They fit seamlessly within the door aperture without drilling or screws, require no painting or decorating, and can even be installed as a ‘last-fit’ after carpets and flooring are laid, making them an ideal choice for modern builds and renovations.

Reflecting on the project, the homeowner commented, "This was an exciting project, and while we were already familiar with Hörmann garage doors, we hadn’t previously considered them for entrance and internal doors. From the outset, we worked closely with Adam at A S Doors, who guided us through the entire process and was invaluable in helping us select the right doors for our home.

"Visiting Hörmann’s headquarters in Coalville and speaking directly with their in-house experts further strengthened our confidence in the products and the team behind them.

"Sustainability was a key priority for us. Alongside features such as solar panels, a heat pump and underfloor heating, the Hörmann garage and entrance doors aligned perfectly with our goals thanks to their excellent thermal efficiency. It was also important to us that all the doors, both internal and external, are CO₂-neutral.

"While the build itself was occasionally stressful, having a strong team that worked really well with each other made all the difference. A S Doors worked seamlessly with our builder, and a shared commitment to quality is reflected in the final result. Now that we’re fully moved in, we can truly enjoy a home that not only looks fantastic but also provides a secure and sustainable future.”

Archibald Kenrick and Sons celebrates 25 years with Secured by Design

Established in 1791, Kenricks has evolved from its origins as an ironfounder to become a leading supplier of high quality window and door hardware. The company is known for developing robust and reliable security solutions, with a long history of innovation that continues to shape the modern hardware market.

Throughout its development, Kenricks has maintained a focus on advancing security technology. Early innovations included the production of cylinder door locks in the early 1900s and a strong contribution to wartime manufacturing during both World Wars. The business later transitioned to zinc alloy die-casting in the 1960s, paving the way for new product development in aluminium hardware and castors.

The 1990s saw the launch of several groundbreaking security products, including the Sabre Lock, Sentri Lock and the patented Excalibur shootbolt system, which strengthened the company’s position within the fenestration industry. Continued investment in research and development has led to further modern solutions, from the introduction of split spindle door locks in 2014 to the recent launch of an internet of things-based product, designed to meet the demands of contemporary security requirements.

Kenricks offers a wide portfolio of SBD accredited products, including the Easi-Fit Lock, Interceptor, Excalibur Door Lock and K3Star Cylinder, as well as an extensive range of window hardware such as the Excalibur Shootbolt, Centurion Shootbolt System, Nemesis bi-directional espagnolette, friction stays, hinge protectors and the Maximus twin cam lock.

Over the last 25 years as an SBD member, Kenricks has demonstrated a consistent commitment to rigorous testing, product reliability and the delivery of secure hardware solutions for the UK market.

Andy Meakin, National Sales and Marketing Manager at Kenricks, said: "The team is immensely proud of this recognition. It reinforces the role our products play in supporting crime prevention across the UK. We would like to thank Secured by Design for this recognition and we look forward to continuing our partnership as we strive to set the benchmark for hardware security in the years ahead."

Why Narrow Backplates Matter More Than Ever in Aluminium and Bi-Fold Design

As aluminium door systems continue to evolve, sightlines are getting slimmer, profiles more refined, and expectations higher, not just from architects and specifiers, but from end users too. While frames and glazing often take centre stage, hardware is increasingly playing a crucial role in how well modern systems function.

One area where this is particularly evident is handle protrusion. On slim aluminium profiles and bi-folding doors, traditional backplates and lever designs can compromise clean lines, interfere with folding mechanisms, or create snagging points in busy environments. It’s a challenge that fabricators and system suppliers are encountering more frequently, and one HOPPE has addressed with the launch of a new narrow backplate option using its New York lever handle.

Responding to slimmer systems

The move towards narrower aluminium profiles has delivered clear aesthetic benefits, but it has also reduced tolerance when specifying hardware. Standard handles can simply be too bulky for today’s slim doors, particularly on bi-fold systems where leaf interaction and clearance are critical.

HOPPE’s new narrow backplate has been developed specifically with these applications in mind. Available in two configurations – the 099KH/303N-1/1810 with a low-profile protrusion of just 24mm, and the 1810/303N-1 with a protrusion of 62mm – the range gives fabricators flexibility depending on system design and use.

For bi-fold door manufacturers, the reduced protrusion helps maintain smooth folding functionality while preserving the clean, uninterrupted lines that aluminium systems are known for. For aluminium door and window system suppliers working with particularly slim profiles, the narrow backplate offers a practical solution where standard hardware may not be suitable.

Designed for real-world environments

While aesthetics are an important driver, the benefits of a flush-fitting handle go beyond appearance. In commercial settings such as offices, hotels, and retail buildings, handles that sit closer to the door surface help reduce snagging, improve accessibility, and make better use of available space, particularly in high-traffic areas.

This makes the New York narrow backplate well suited not only to high-end residential projects, but also to commercial developments where both form and function are under scrutiny.

Manufactured in aluminium and produced in Europe, the handle sets reflect HOPPE’s long-standing focus on durability and consistency. The use of anodised aluminium supports long-term performance while maintaining a clean, contemporary finish that aligns with modern architectural trends.

Practical benefits for fabrication and installation

From a fabrication and installation perspective, the narrow backplate has been designed to integrate smoothly into existing workflows. Both variants are suitable for door thicknesses between 72mm and 77mm and use an 8mm solid spindle with HOPPE’s Quick-Fit connection system, enabling secure and efficient assembly.

Fixing is via visible internal bolt-through fixing using M6 thread screws, supported by backplate lugs to ensure a stable fit on slim profiles. The handles operate on maintenance-free slide bearings, reducing the need for adjustment or servicing once installed.

The 099KH variant features a short-neck handle on one side, helping achieve the ultra-low 24mm protrusion, while retaining a comfortable internal lever for everyday operation. This configuration makes it particularly suitable for bi-folding doors and other applications where clearance is limited.

Finishes to match contemporary design

To support modern specification, the narrow backplate New York handle is available in a range of finishes, including F1 silver effect, F3 gold effect, matt traffic white, matt black, and matt anthracite grey. This allows system suppliers to coordinate hardware with aluminium frame colours, rather than treating handles as an afterthought.

Small details, meaningful impact

As aluminium systems continue to push towards slimmer, more refined designs, hardware choices are becoming increasingly important. The introduction of a narrow backplate option for the New York lever reflects a wider shift in the industry, recognising that even small components can have a significant impact on performance, usability, and overall system design.

For fabricators, system houses, and bi-fold manufacturers, HOPPE’s latest development offers a well-engineered response to a common challenge, helping ensure that hardware keeps pace with the doors it is designed to support.
