Hello dear forum,
We now need to start choosing our doors, especially the doors leading into the house.
We have direct access from the garage to the hallway. We need a door for this access. The special aspect is that this door will be passed frequently from the inside, as you have to walk past it when going from the main entrance to the wardrobe.
What type of door would you recommend here? Which ones do you have, and what did they cost?
We have received various recommendations:
- Fire door (T30?)
- Security door with RC1 or RC2 rating
- Combination: fire protection + security door

However, the airtightness is achieved with the membrane, and that is always the same – regardless of the RC rating.

But the installation is not “standard.” From RC2 onwards, the window is backed with pressure-resistant material, and certified screws, anchors, and plugs are used. In the end, you will receive an installation certificate (if you agreed on and paid for RC2)! Feel free to share your experience here, I’m interested!
Edit: Do any RC2 owners have walls made of lightweight blocks (aerated concrete)?

We will now choose a T30 door with RC2. By the way, I heard that there are also fire doors with "non-certified" smoke protection (unfortunately, I can’t recall the exact model). These doors are tighter (no gap at the bottom) and will probably reduce heat loss (Blower Door Test). Have you already selected a specific model?

Sebastian7924 Aug 2015 19:41What should I report? I’m not aware of any special anchors or similar for RC2... it hardly makes sense given the low resistance level.
We have calcium silicate bricks and naturally no issues at all with the window load-bearing structure.
