Tekta gains FIRAS accreditation

Why FIRAS Accreditation Matters for Steel Hinged Doors

When it comes to fire safety in buildings, every detail counts — and fire doors are one of the most critical components. That’s why being FIRAS accredited for the installation of steel hinged doors is more than just a credential — it’s a commitment to excellence, safety, and compliance.

What is FIRAS?

FIRAS (Fire Industry Association Register of Approved Installers) is a third-party certification scheme that assesses the competence of contractors in the installation of fire protection products and systems. Administered by Warringtonfire, FIRAS is one of the most recognised schemes in the UK, particularly within the construction and fire safety sectors.

The Importance of Steel Hinged Doors

Steel hinged doors are often specified in environments where durability, strength, and high fire resistance are required — from commercial and industrial premises to residential blocks and public buildings, even Data Centres. However, even the best-quality fire door is only as effective as its installation. That’s where FIRAS accreditation plays a crucial role.

What FIRAS Accreditation Means for Our Clients

Being FIRAS accredited means that our Engineers have been independently assessed and regularly audited to ensure the highest standards of expertise and skill. It guarantees:

• Competent Installation: Our team has undergone specific training and assessment for the fitting of steel hinged fire doors.

• Quality Assurance: Every installation is carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the latest building regulations.

• Traceability and Certification: Each installation is recorded on the FIRAS database, with certification issued for compliance and peace of mind.

For Contractors, Facilities Managers, Engineering Managers and Architects this accreditation provides assurance that fire doors have been installed correctly and will perform as expected in a fire situation — which can save lives and protect property.
