Halspan is one of the leading suppliers of quality door components in the world. Its universally respected doorsets are made under licence by customers on all five continents. A pioneer in its field, Halspan has been at the forefront of its industry in one way or another for the last 20 years.

First, in the early 1990s, Halspan developed an entirely new way of constructing doors, using pre-tested fire door blanks made from 3-layer particle board. It took the industry by storm and hasn’t been bettered since. Halspan was also the first company to offer a full range of testing. We didn’t just test one door blank to see whether it could be used as a fire door; we tested lots of different door configurations and modes. Recognising that specifiers’ and fabricators’ needs change, Halspan has continued to enhance its product range, the latest addition being the Prima Plus door blank, with no added formaldehyde. At the same time, Halspan has extended its offering, so that specifiers can now source all their quality doorset components from a single, trusted supplier. Today, Halspan offers an unrivalled range of not just timber fire doors, but also fire-rated steel frames, fire glass, seals and hardware, including the innovative Halspan Guardia finger guard system. Specify Halspan and it really is job done!

quality through and through The Halspan name is synonymous with excellent quality. Specifically designed for the purpose, Halspan’s unique blank produces a door of altogether superior quality, strength and overall performance. Its density and hard surface means that you can specify doors with a range of finishes, from simple paint to plastic laminate and veneer. And because each door blank is produced on one of the world’s most advanced CPS systems, absolute consistency and total quality are assured every time. It’s this technical expertise, combined with a total commitment to quality, right through manufacture to installation, that really sets Halspan apart and why today you’ll find Halspan doorsets in educational, healthcare, hospitality, industrial, commercial, residential, retail and Government buildings all over the world.

tried, tested and approved The building industry is subject to a raft of regulations. By specifying Halspan door components, you can ensure you’re complying with all of them. Crucially, Halspan door components are tested together, rather than in isolation. What’s the advantage of that? Quite simply that you know for a fact that the entire doorset will meet the requisite performance standards and not just part of it, providing complete peace of mind for both you and your clients. Fire door certification When you consider the terrible human and economic cost of building fires, it’s reassuring to know that every Halspan door comes fully certified. Our doorsets are tested to British Standards (BS), European Standards (EN) and North American Standards (UL) by Approved Bodies. Their independent reports and assessments confirm the integrity of Halspan’s fire door blanks, seals and hardware in a variety of combinations.

astounding acoustic performance As well as keeping people safe by protecting them from fire and smoke, doors often have to provide noise reduction or sound insulation. Halspan doors have been extensively tested for acoustic performance in combination with various perimeter sealing and glazing options, in both single and double door configurations, with and without Halspan Guardia finger protection. Depending on the option chosen, acoustic performance ranges from 28dB to 35dB, ticking even more regulatory boxes.

built to last Unless a door assembly is robust enough to withstand daily use, it won’t fulfil any of the functions it’s supposed to, like keeping people safe or comfortable, protecting them from smoke or noise and – most importantly – saving lives in the event of a fire. The results are conclusive…

The independent organisations responsible for

In the British Standard of Mechanical Tests for

testing stipulate the following usage figures:

‘hinged or pivoted doors’ our entire range achieved the highest grading possible – SEVERE DUTY: Subject to frequent or violent usage. What’s more, Halspan has already tested with good results to the new, more demanding EU standard. Cycle testing provides further evidence, if any were needed, that Halspan door assemblies will continue to perform as they’re meant to, time and time… and time again.

So for a door in a school toilet entrance, for example, we’re looking at 225,000 operating cycles per annum!

green credentials Last but not least, there’s FSC Certification. Complying with rigorous environmental requirements, all of Halspan’s raw materials come from sustainable, managed sources. Every Halspan door blank is FSC Chain of Custody certified. The latest advance, Halspan Prima Plus (with No Added Formaldehyde), goes one step further. Produced to the same

INTRODUCING HALSPAN PRIMA PLUS The latest addition to the Halspan range, Halspan Prima Plus – with No Added Formaldehyde – has been developed in response to the growing demand for ‘greener’ products. Produced to the same high standards as our regular Prima, Halspan Prima Plus uses Polyurethane instead of the more traditional Urea Formaldehyde binder with its associated health risks.

Glass by Interglaze @ Halspan

the sky is the limit Keen to include glazing in your door assembly specification, but not sure about the knock-on effect? You’ll be surprised at what is possible... Using a modified tempered glass, called SureGlaze, relatively large glazed apertures can be incorporated into Halspan fire doors without affecting their performance. In fact, our glass provides up to 30 or 60 minutes fire resistance, as well as solar control, thermal insulation and sound insulation. Choose from clear or obscured, wired or unwired glass in a variety of aperture styles, including small vision panel, square, rectangular, circular, D-end, triangular and multi-pane. Halspan has tested and assessed lots of different types and sizes of glass, beads, seals and glazing systems, so no one is better qualified to advise on what works and what doesn’t.

the Halspan Guardia finger guard system. Pivoted at the top and bottom and featuring an integrated aluminium-edge surround, Halspan Guardia minimises the chances of fingers being jammed and, of course, costly compensation claims.

Complementing its other quality door components, Halspan offers a fully certified range of ironmongery, enabling you to source your entire door assembly from a single, trusted supplier. Choose from a range of hinges and door locks designed to provide 60 to 120 minutes fire resistance as well as insulation protection, and heavy duty but slimline power adjustable overhead door closers offering from 30 to 120 minutes fire resistance.

As strong and durable as the door itself, Halspan Guardia offers all the fire, acoustic and mechanical performance you’d associate with the number one name in quality doorset components.

safety first Safety – whether it is to do with personal protection from fire and smoke or accidental injury – is of paramount importance. In an effort to reduce the appalling numbers of children, the elderly, people with special needs or sensory impairments and even fully-abled adults who trap or seriously injure their fingers in doors every year, we have introduced the Halspan Guardia finger guard system. The latest addition to Halspan’s premium quality range of doorset components, Halspan Guardia finger guard is a revolutionary alternative to traditional hinged doors, and much more cost-effective and reliable option than unsightly plastic hinge guards. Pivoted at the top and bottom and featuring an integrated aluminium edge surround, the patented SafeHinge design maintains a small, constant gap at the pivoted edge of the door, minimising the chances of fingers being jammed and, of course, costly compensation claims. You wouldn’t necessarily specify Halspan Guardia finger guard in every instance, but for classrooms, wards, busy corridors, baby changing rooms and receptions it’s the safe choice. What’s more, Halspan Guardia finger guard is as strong and durable as the door itself. It offers all the fire, acoustic and mechanical performance you’ve come to expect from Halspan.

Whichever flush or panelled non-fire door you’re currently using, you can specify a fully certified Halspan Fire Door of the same style and finish.

In today’s world of ever tighter timescales and increasing design innovation, that has to be a winning combination.

So instead of being an afterthought, fire resistance can be planned into a project from the outset at the design stage. Halspan is versatile too Our flush and panelled style doors offer a variety of glazing options and can be hung in hardwood, softwood, MDF, aluminium or steel frames. The choice is yours.
