The Flamebreak 430 44mm U/L (Unlipped) Plywood Door Core Blank is an industry-standard, lightweight, FD30-rated fire door blank.
It features a tri-laminated hardwood core and 4mm hardwood plywood faces, providing 30 minutes of fire resistance while weighing significantly less than standard solid core blanks (approx. 30–40kg depending on size).
If you are manufacturing or installing fire doors using these blanks, the regulations require to add hardwood lippings to the vertical edges (and sometimes all four edges) of the blank before it is hung to maintain certification and stability.
The blank is primarily used for custom or oversized interior and exterior fire doors.
Unlipped door core allows joiners and manufacturers to trim and cut the blank to custom, non-standard dimensions.
