Our PuraSound timber doorsets use a variety of cores, seals and glazing types to achieve dB ratings from 29dB up to 55dB. Automatic drop seals are installed into the bottom of doors and concealed from view. These seals have added benefits in reducing draughts, light penetration and odour circulation.
Acoustic perimeter seals are often combined with intumescent strips when the door is also a fire door, although surface fit options are available if preferred. Glazing can be incorporated into doors or adjoining screens.

Vision Panels
Vision panels can help to increase visibility, distribute light and enhance design. In certain locations, such as entrances, they are a legal requirement with defined minimum sizes (see below).
Some of our most popular vision panel styles are shown here but we can make panels to any size and shape. For fire and sound-rated doors there may be some restrictions but we will guide you through the requirements to make sure these are maintained.
Vision panels in entrance doors
These are governed by the Government’s Building Regulations parts M (Access to buildings) and K (Protection from falling, collision and impact). This diagram shows the minimum requirements for vision panels in entrance doors.
Beading
There are two main types of beading for vision panels: bolection and flush. Beading is supplied in hardwood species, with a finish to complement the door. For a fire door, intumescents are installed between the glass and the door.

Glass Types
There is a wide range of glass types available. We work with your requirements to deliver the right design without compromising on fire, security or acoustic ratings.
Below is a table of the most common glass types we use. To understand these products, please see below key which helps to understand the glass and their uses.
EW – The EW classification of fire resistance guarantees the integrity of the glass when under extreme pressure from fire, smoke and hot gases.

Veneer Cuts
The 2 main types of veneer cuts are Crown Cut and Quarter Cut. Crown is a cross section of the tree giving a lot more character to the wood, as opposed to Quarter Cut which is cut in sections to give a close grain effect.
Matching
Veneers can be matched in different ways to achieve a variety of effects as shown below.
Book match: Veneers are mirrored to give a symmetrical effect. Quarter: Veneers are mirrored and turned to give an effect radiating from a central point. Slip: Leaves are laid side by side to give a gradually-varying repeat pattern
Laminates
A durable, scratch-and damage-resistant alternative to wood or paint, with particular suitability for public buildings or hygiene settings. Matching finishes can be achieved on frames.
The range of laminate options is almost endless. There are different designs and textures to achieve an authentic and natural feel.
