Infection prevention
Hygidoor is engineered to support infection prevention in demanding healthcare environments, combining hygienic materials, flush detailing and robust construction for safer, easier-to-clean door solutions.
Hygienic PVC finish
Hygidoor is wrapped in hardwearing, hygienic PVC to support infection control. PVC finishes can be specified independently on the door leaf, frame and leading edge to suit clinical environments.
Flush vision panels
Flush-fitted, triple-glazed vision panels improve cleanability while enhancing impact resistance. The smooth surface reduces dirt traps and supports effective infection prevention.
Hygienic door edges
Door edges are fully thermoformed using the same hygienic PVC, increasing durability while eliminating joints that could harbour bacteria in healthcare settings.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Hygidoor is Trovex's fire-rated PVC door and frame system engineered for rapid installation in NHS facilities whilst adhering to infection control protocols. The system combines fire safety certification with hygienic PVC wrapping designed to simplify cleaning in healthcare environments.
Available in FD30 and FD60 fire-rated configurations, Hygidoor provides certified fire resistance for 30 or 60 minutes respectively. Both ratings utilise fire-tested, high-density particleboard cores for structural integrity, complemented by triple-glazed vision panels incorporating fire-resistant centres. All doors feature third-party certification confirming compliance with UK fire safety standards. Each Hygidoor features hygienic PVC wrapping with recessed vision panels eliminating crevices where pathogens accumulate. The product line offers 45+ colour options with multiple configurations including single-action, double-action, and slide-action mechanisms.
The primary difference between FD30 and FD60 fire doors is the fire resistance duration: FD30 doors provide 30 minutes of fire protection, whilst FD60 doors provide 60 minutes. FD60 doors feature heavier-duty construction, denser core materials, and more robust fire-rated components to withstand double the fire exposure time.
FD60 fire doors use thicker, more densely compressed particleboard cores with enhanced fire-resistant properties compared to FD30 specifications. The increased thickness and density require heavier-duty hinges and mounting hardware capable of supporting the additional load over extended operational life. Fire-rated glazing in FD60 doors typically incorporates additional layers compared to FD30 equivalents. Hygidoor offers both FD30 and FD60 configurations to meet different healthcare compartmentation requirements. The choice depends on building fire risk assessment, local building control requirements, and specific compartmentation strategies.
Fire door compliance in healthcare facilities requires installation with certified frames and hardware, appropriate fire-rated glazing, self-closing mechanisms, intumescent seals preventing smoke penetration, and regular inspection per UK fire safety regulations. Third-party certification is not strictly a legal requirement, but most NHS trusts insist on it. Hygidoor systems incorporate all certified components in pre-assembled door sets with third-party certification.
Compliance elements include fire-tested door leaf with certified core construction, fire-rated frame properly installed and fixed to structural walls, fire-rated hinges supporting door weight, intumescent seals expanding when exposed to heat to prevent smoke spread, self-closing devices ensuring doors return to closed position, fire-rated glazing if vision panels are included, gap tolerances maintained below 4mm around door edges, and certification labels permanently affixed. Healthcare facilities require additional infection control considerations including wipe-clean surfaces and minimal crevices. Hygidoor's PVC wrapping provides smooth, non-porous surfaces cleanable with hospital-grade disinfectants whilst maintaining fire certification.
A glazed fire door is a fire-rated door incorporating vision panels or windows made from fire-resistant glass, allowing visual transparency whilst maintaining fire protection. The glazing must be fire-rated to the same standard as the door leaf, tested and certified as part of the complete door assembly.
Fire-rated glazing uses specialist glass or composite materials that prevent fire penetration for the certified duration. Hygidoor incorporates triple-glazed vision panels with fire-resistant centres, maintaining transparency whilst achieving FD30 or FD60 certification. The glazing typically comprises layers of intumescent material that expand when exposed to heat, creating an insulating barrier preventing fire spread through the glass area. Glazed fire doors serve multiple functions in healthcare settings: enabling staff to view into rooms before entering, improving patient observation without compromising privacy, increasing natural light penetration improving ward ambience, and maintaining sightlines for wayfinding and security.
Legal requirements for fire doors in hospitals include compliance with Building Regulations Part B (fire safety), installation of appropriate fire-rated doors per fire risk assessment, maintenance of self-closing mechanisms, regular inspection and testing, staff training on fire door importance, and enforcement of policies preventing wedging doors open. Fire doors are compulsory in healthcare premises.
Specific requirements encompass fire risk assessment identifying required door locations and ratings, installation of certified fire doors meeting FD30 or FD60 standards, fire-rated frames and hardware installed per manufacturer instructions, intumescent seals and smoke seals preventing fire and smoke spread, self-closing devices ensuring doors return to latched position, vision panels using fire-rated glazing where required, certification labels maintained throughout door life, gap tolerances below 4mm maintained around edges, and regular inspection schedules documenting door condition. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places responsibility on the "responsible person" to ensure fire safety measures are maintained.
