Featured project · Brighton, United Kingdom
Brighton College ornate fire door package
- Approx. 4m × 6m
- Automatic bronze doors
- Building Control approved
Designed and manufactured as a completely bespoke solution, this project involved a pair of automatic fire-rated bronze doors measuring approximately four metres high by six metres wide, created for the auditorium at Brighton College.
The design featured solid machined bronze handles, a bespoke display head panel, and an oxidised antique bronze finish, delivering a striking architectural statement while meeting stringent fire safety requirements. As a one-off design, the doors required extensive technical development to balance aesthetics, functionality, automation, and fire performance.
Working closely with the project's fire officer, we developed and submitted a comprehensive technical proposal to demonstrate compliance with the required fire safety standards, ultimately securing Building Control approval for this unique fire-rated door solution.
The result is a landmark installation that combines exceptional craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and regulatory compliance within a truly distinctive architectural feature.
UAE fire compliance
Approved fire-rated systems for the UAE
As an approved Schüco Fire-Expert in design, estimating, fabrication and installation of fire rated systems of up to 240 minutes, Avendale already brings established fire-safety capability to the UAE. Our tested solutions are approved in the UK and Internationally meeting various standards such as BS 476, BS EN 1634-1, BS EN1364-1 and many others. These standards are expressly accepted within the UAE's Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice.
The March 2026 Abu Dhabi amendments to this code of practice further reinforce the use of current, formally approved testing standards and require immediate compliance where high-risk applications are identified. Avendale's controlled design, fabrication, traceability and installation procedures are structured to meet this enhanced level of scrutiny.
As the underlying fire-test standards are already recognised within the UAE, Avendale's existing certification and technical evidence provide a clear and established route through the applicable UAE conformity, product-registration and Civil Defence approval procedures.
