Ahmarra: Certified Fire Doors for the Education Sector

Ahmarra are one of the UK’s leading Q-Mark fire door manufacturers and installers. Its core services include the design, manufacture and project management of bespoke internal doorsets and glazed screens.

The company has been manufacturing doorsets in its Hampshire based production facility for over 30 years. It is proud to fly the flag for British manufacturing, utilising traditional craftsmanship, cutting edge technology and the finest materials to guarantee exceptional standards. Committed to sustainable working practices, Ahmarra is FSC® certified, and therefore all its timber doors and frames support responsible forestry.

Working closely with architects, contractors, building surveyors and fire safety officers to meet the unique requirements of specific projects, Ahmarra has developed sector-specific ranges to aid design and specification.

The Education Door Range is Ahmarra’s range of third-party certified fire doorsets tailored to the needs of schools, colleges, academies and universities, as well as SEND schools. Doorsets are designed to meet the specific performance requirements of the education environment.

Available with FD30(s), FD60(s) and FD90(s) fire-ratings, doorsets come with fully compatible ironmongery as standard, ensuring compliance and quality.

Engineered for longevity, these severe duty doorsets are available in a range of configurations bespoke in their size and finish and are suitable for all internal door requirements across the school.

Thousands of doors from this range have been manufactured for education projects. Recent projects include the University of Southampton (Hampshire), Freemantles SEND School (Surrey), Brunel University (London), Octavia House School (Essex), The Royal Veterinary College (London), Solent University (Hampshire) and the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering (LIHE).
