Non-use of Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) in door construction
This statement serves to clarify and confirm that all doors (and frames) manufactured by Spence Doors Qld do not contain any asbestos materials, whatsoever.
Fire-rated doors are manufactured using a monolithic, refractory mineral core; that is both non-toxic and innocuous when handled, cut and burnt; and framed with combustible timber materials; and faced with various timber and timber-based sheet material, or optional synthetic (laminate and veneer) products; all of which are non-asbestos in origin.
Ancillary items that can be added as supplied and fitted to fire-rated doors, such as proprietary fire-rated vision panels, fire-rated air-relief grilles, kick-plates - (stainless) steel or vinyl, door seals (including intumescent seal materials), etc; are also non-asbestos in manufacture.
Non-rated (solid core, semi-solid core, hollow core) doors are manufactured with various timber and timber- based materials; and framed with combustible timber materials; and faced with various timber and timber-based sheet materials, or optional synthetic (laminate and veneer) products; and optional acrylic edging materials; all of which are non-asbestos in origin.
Ancillary items that can be added as supplied and fitted to non-rated doors, such as Vision Panels (various types and styles for glass; beading; and framing), air-relief grilles, kick-plates - (stainless) steel or vinyl, door seals (including intumescent seal materials), etc; are also non-asbestos in manufacture.
Steel door frames (various types of steel with optional coatings) are obviously non-asbestos in origin.
Any other mediums added, such as Spence Dry-Fill (to the inside lining of parts of the frame) are also non- asbestos in origin.
Spence hardwood (or other timber type / timber-based material type) frames (which may or may not have added intumescent material); also do not contain any asbestos material incorporated.
The above clarifications are consistent for noted materials, sourced from all sub-suppliers, to Spence Doors.
