Tyne and Wear
Composite and steel doors in Tyne and Wear
Steel doors suit rear lanes and service yards, and we can price several doors on one visit to your Tyne and Wear premises.

A worn frame can undo a good door, so on your Tyne and Wear job in the North East we check the wall, fixings and threshold first. A flat above a Tyne and Wear shop may need a fire-rated door on the shared route, so we check that before suggesting a standard composite door.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Is a composite door suitable for a flat above a shop?
Yes, as long as the fire requirements are met. A door from a shared stair or from the shop into a flat may need to be a fire door, so a standard composite door is not always right. Fire-rated composite doorsets exist for that use.
Is a composite or steel door better for a shop's back door?
Steel is usually the stronger choice for a rear lane or yard door, and composite suits a door that also needs to look good and keep heat in. Composite doors can be tested to PAS 24, so the real answer depends on risk, use and appearance.
Can a steel door be a fire exit?
Yes, provided it opens in the direction of escape where required and has hardware that works without a key. BS EN 1125 panic bars or BS EN 179 emergency exit devices are used for this. Your fire risk assessment should confirm what the door needs.
