How are JB Kind Doors constructed?
An assortment of materials and construction methods are utilised throughout the JB Kind door ranges. All materials used in JB Kind door construction are wood based but most are commonly ‘engineered’. This means that the materials have been made from different raw timbers to form composite timber components. High density chipboard, block timber, laminates and fibreboards are all commonly used within our doors. In general, this means that the raw material is managed more efficiently to produce better stability and affordability.
Can I get a stylish JB Kind fire door for my home?
Absolutely! There’s a common misconception that a fire door means one of those green doors with a bar to push to let you out. This does not need to be the case in your home. Fire doors are available within virtually every JB Kind door range and you can even have a fire door that is glazed. Internal fire resistant doors are commonly known as FD30, which mean that they are fire doors that are tested to last 30 minutes against the heat and flames. If you are looking to purchase a fire door then you need to make sure that it’s up to scratch. It’s important that if you are buying a fire door, that you get it fitted by a qualified professional. If you’d don’t, you risk the fire door not performing properly.

Can JB Kind doors be made into a pair / rebated?
Taking two of our internal doors and making them into a pair is possible with all of our internal doors. When fitting doors into pairs, to enable then to open and close, there will need to be a small gap between them, enabling the doors to close together neatly. Rebating is the task that eliminates this small gap by removing a section of each door along opposite sides of the meeting edges, so that the doors interlock with each other when they are in the closed position.
