Door blanks are some of the most commonly used construction materials. They are long-lasting and provide strength and security for all internal and external door applications. Some solid door blanks are also rated for fire, with resistance for between 30 and 60 minutes.
You can select the door blanks you need from a wide range offered by most retailers across the UK, including fire door blanks and external door blanks. The standard measurement for these door blanks for sale is 44mm and 54mm in thickness.
Door blanks are fire rated flush doors that can be cut to fit your doorways. They are usually bought in bulk since they can be installed in the entire home or throughout a large construction project.
Compared to the prices of fully finished flush fire doors, door blank prices are considerably lower, and that is why they are ideal for trade customers with large projects. Being unfinished means they can be customised to fit the style and architecture of the building.
