Specialist manufacturer and supplier of uPVC and aluminium, we at Astraseal also give UK installers the opportunity to provide the very best FD30 or FD60 Fire Doors thanks to our choice to supply Rehau’s RAUFERNO and Winkhaus’ ECOFRAME utilising Distinction slab systems. Both are suitable for a range of domestic and commercial applications and projects, providing sufficient protection in the likely event of a fire hazard while preventing the spread for safe escape.
To help installers determine which one of the two systems will best suit their own or prospective clients’ needs, we’ve taken the time to explore the benefits of both.
Winkhaus’ ECOFRAME + Distinction
Astraseal’s premier choice of fire door in FD30 or FD60 and most often used by installers for applications in the private and housing sectors, the Distinction is a solid choice of fire door, engineered from recycled materials. Like the RAUFERNO it provides protection for a period of 30 mins, giving any in danger plenty of time to escape in the unlikely event a fire begins to spread. The central panel might be 10mm less thick, but it does offer impressive UV stability against solar rays.

RAUFERNO or ECOFRAME: Both deliver the expected performance
The main point of distinction between ECOFRAME and RAUFERNO, is the simple fact that the former is engineered using a composite frame, the other in durable uPVC material. Both are easy to install, can be turnaround quickly from our Wellingborough factory, and allow you to guarantee users a minimum of 30 mins protection in the event of a fire.
When considering which of the two FD30 or FD60 Fire Doors we offer is best for your next project, you’ll be able to take solace in knowing that both are reliable choices, albeit with some subtle differences that will only factor into your decision as a result of client preference or project specificity.
