Door Blank 2440mm

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.

What are door blanks?

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.

We stock two ratings; FD30 (can withstand fire for up to 30 minutes) and FD60 (can withstand fire for up to an hour). These two are the most common types specified.

What are fire door blanks used for?

Fire door blanks serve the following main purposes:

To create doors rated FD30 or FD60, suitable for stairs, exits, and locations specified by building regulations (these indicate how long the door blank can resist fire during testing).
For internal or external doors that require durability, safety, and compliance with fire codes.
To provide flexibility since unfinished doors can be matched to the home/building’s decor and hardware.
For large projects or trade work where cost and compliance have to be balanced. Blanks are less expensive but can still be made fire rated, delivering good value.

Types of door blanks

On our site, we have three main types of fire door blanks, each with different materials, finishes, and fire ratings. Here they are:

Type	Material & Finish	Fire rating and key features
Chipboard Door Core	Graduated-density 44mm chipboard core, unlipped square edge.	FD30 when used with the correct hardware. The door cores are for internal use, paintable, easy to cut, and IFC-certified.
MDF Fire Door Blanks	Solid core blanks faced with 6mm MDF for a smoother finish.	Offered in both FD30 and FD60 ratings. These are lightweight solid core, can be painted or stained, and are unlipped.
Plywood Fire Door Blanks	Solid core blanks faced with hardwood or plywood veneer, are heavier, and sturdier.	Many of the options are FD30, with some 54mm blanks reaching FD60. Suited to internal and external use depending on the blank’s specification.

Benefits of door blanks

The main advantages of using fire door blanks include:

Fire resistance – Many of our blanks are certified FD30 or FD60, meaning they resist fire and sometimes smoke for 30 to 60 minutes, protecting crucial exits and meeting building regulations.
Strength and security – Solid cores give door blanks weight, resistance to warping, and stiffness when in use.
Customisable – The blanks come without finish but take paint, stain, or varnish well, giving you control over the final colour and surface to match your decor.
Cost efficient – Because you are buying blanks and often in bulk, the prices are lower compared to a finished version, which is ideal for projects with many doors.
Flexible sizing – The door blanks come with an allowance for final fitting to ensure the final size is exact and adheres to the datasheet allowance and recommendations.
Compliance – Purchasing certified, tested blanks ensures that, with proper fitting, a matching frame, seals, and hardware, the door set complies with fire safety rules.
