Under the requirements of the above Acts, we can provide you with information regarding the storage, handling, use and potential health hazard of the following IG Doors product:-

IG FIBREGLASS DOORS

IG fibreglass doors are constructed from two glass reinforced polymer skins permanently bonded to a rigid polyurethane injected core and glued to timber/PVC stiles and top rail and a polyvinyl-chloride composite bottom rail. The surface is primed with a water based base coat. The solid polyurethane core gives the door thermal and sound insulation properties as well as excellent dimensional stability. Doors will not split, bow, warp or crack.

The dust from the cutting or sanding of the doors may cause respiratory problems and irritation to eyes with possible skin irritation due to fibreglass fibres. Suitable personal protective equipment should be worn, to include mask, glasses and gloves when sanding or cutting the doors to avoid the inhalation of dust and skin contact with the fibres.

Doors should be handled with care and stored in a suitable environment to avoid damage to the finished product.

The weight of a door unit may be in excess of 25kg. Suitable handling arrangements and assessments should be made available to reduce the risk associated with manual handling.

No individual door component, or a door unit as a whole, poses a fire hazard during storage.

Fumes are only a danger if the door has been involved in a large-scale fire where smoke and fumes are given off. The products of combustion will be noxious, containing carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, acrolene, black smoke and hydrocarbons.
