We regularly get asked this question:

Can I paint a fire door, and what type of paint should I use?

🗣️ This depends on the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific door set. Most paint‑grade fire doors can be finished with standard paints, but it’s essential that certification labels, intumescent seals, and any fire‑critical components are NEVER painted over.

We offer both primed and fully painted fire door sets, and we’re always happy to advise if you’re unsure about the correct approach for your door.
