Correx Fire Rated Door Protection Sheet 1m x 2m Black

The Correx Fire Rated Door Protection Sheet is a 1m x 2m black fluted polypropylene correx door board designed to protect internal doors during construction, refurbishment and decoration. Cut to fit standard UK door sizes, each sheet shields door faces from the knocks, scuffs, paint overspray and general site abuse that builds up during second fix and finishing stages. If you have ever watched a freshly hung door get scratched before the client even sees it, you will understand why this is not optional.

The twin-wall fluted structure gives genuine impact resistance while keeping the weight right down. A single sheet comes in at around 400g, so carrying a bundle up several flights in a half-finished building is not an issue. The material is rigid enough to stay put once taped, flexible enough to curve slightly if the frame requires it, and will not crack, splinter or leave any residue behind when removed.

Why Fire Rating Matters on This Correx Door Board

Fire rated protection products satisfy site safety requirements where standard polypropylene sheets would not pass inspection. This sheet meets fire performance standards, making it suitable for commercial fit-outs, schools, hospitals, care homes and any project where compliance is actively monitored. Using fire rated protection from the start avoids the cost and delay of replacing non-compliant materials mid-project. Site managers and main contractors on public sector and insurance-sensitive jobs increasingly specify fire rated protection as a matter of course, so having the right product on the van saves the conversation before it starts.

The black colour handles dirt better than white alternatives, keeping the site looking presentable throughout the project. It also helps if you are using colour coding to mark different protection grades or zones across a larger site.

Installation and Reuse

Installation takes seconds. Position the correx door board over the door face and tape along the edges with low-tack masking tape or dedicated protection tape. The smooth surface accepts most tapes cleanly and releases without ghosting when the job is finished. For swing doors that are still in use during works, tape the sheet to the frame rather than the door leaf so it can still open and close while staying protected.

These sheets are fully reusable across multiple projects with reasonable handling. Wipe down with a damp cloth, stack flat and store somewhere dry. The polypropylene does not absorb moisture, will not rot, and resists most common site chemicals including emulsion paint, plaster splash and adhesive residue. Many contractors get three or four jobs from the same batch before recycling them.

At 1m x 2m, each sheet covers a standard internal door with minimal trimming required. For fire doors or wider commercial doors, sheets can be overlapped and taped together without any loss of protection. The flutes run vertically in portrait orientation, which gives the best rigidity for door applications. Buying in quantity makes obvious sense for any project with more than a handful of doors. Protection costs far less than repair.
