Hanson & Beards Ltd have recently completed full scale fire testing for the FD60 ANOform Ultra post-formed door set.

Hanson & Beards Ltd are excited to report that our new ‘Anoform Ultra’ door set, which is currently under development, has passed its initial indicative fire testing with flying colours.

The ‘Anoform Ultra’ is a Post-formed encapsulated door set as per our standard ‘Anoform’ product, but has the added benefits of perimeter framed and MDF sub-faced construction.

Full scale fire testing will be performed next month, and specification and further details will be on the RIBA & NBS plus sites soon.

Hanson & Beards Ltd have developed a new website to help our clients learn more about the products we offer. The new site is easier to navigate and helps inform you quicker about the things you want to know. Want ANODOOR facing materials information?
