Inland-China engineered-door clusters — Henan, Hubei, Shandong
The inland-China door cluster runs engineered-core construction, veneer pressing, edge-banding, and CNC machining producing flush, panelled, and fire-rated doors to European specification. Premium-spec cluster factories produce FD30 and FD60 fire doorsets with test-certified cores, intumescent seals, and matched frames, plus standard internal and external engineered timber doors. Ériu verifies fire-test certification, core construction, and veneer / laminate quality at the factory.

What we verify at the factory — before the container is sealed
- EN 1634-1 — Fire resistance testing of doorsets (FD30 / FD60)
- EN 14351-1 — External doorsets product standard (CE)
- EN 16034 — Pedestrian doorsets fire / smoke characteristics
- BS 476 Part 22 — Fire resistance (UK cross-reference)
- CE marking + EU Declaration of Performance per CPR (EU) 305/2011
- EN 717-1 — Formaldehyde emission (E1 / E0 core grade)
Goods that fail compliance or pre-shipment QC stay in China at the factory's cost — you do not pay freight on non-compliant product.

A standard FD30 fire-rated doorset (engineered core, oak-veneer face, matched frame, intumescent seals, hinges and closer) ships factory-direct from the inland-China cluster at approximately €110 to €165 per doorset FOB factory, landing in Ireland at approximately €155 to €230 per doorset after freight, duty, VAT and customs. Irish door-trade pricing for equivalent certified specification typically runs €380 to €560 per doorset — a landed-cost saving of 50–60%. Standard internal doors show similar percentage savings.
Lead time and logistics
Lead time: 5–8 weeks production + 4–5 weeks sea freight (Shanghai or Qingdao → Dublin).
Doors and doorsets ship flat-stacked with foam and corner protection on pallets inside a 40HQ container — typically 150–300 doors per container depending on type and whether frames are included. Fire doorsets ship as matched packages (door, frame, seals, ironmongery) to preserve the tested configuration. Ériu coordinates Dublin Port reception and inland delivery to the merchant or fit-out project site.
Construction Materials — sourcing questions answered
Are inland-China fire doorsets certified to FD30 / FD60 for Irish use?
Premium-spec cluster factories produce FD30 and FD60 fire doorsets tested to EN 1634-1 with EN 16034 fire / smoke characteristics and CE marking under EN 14351-1 where applicable. The critical point for Irish compliance is that the fire rating applies to the complete tested doorset configuration — door, frame, intumescent seals, and ironmongery as a matched assembly. Ériu sources certified doorset packages (not just door leaves) and verifies the fire-test certification at the factory.
Why does the whole doorset matter, not just the door leaf?
A fire door's rating is only valid when installed in the tested configuration — the correct frame, intumescent and smoke seals, hinges, and closer as a matched assembly. Buying a fire-rated leaf and pairing it with an uncertified frame and random ironmongery voids the fire rating. Ériu sources complete certified doorset packages — door, frame, seals, and ironmongery factory-matched to the EN 1634-1 tested configuration — so the installed doorset holds its FD30 / FD60 rating.
What is the typical landed-cost saving versus Irish door-trade pricing?
Typical landed-cost saving is 50–60% versus Irish door-trade pricing for equivalent certified specification. An FD30 oak-veneer doorset that costs €380–€560 through the Irish trade lands factory-direct at €155–€230 including all freight, duty, VAT and customs. For a developer or hotel fit-out requiring hundreds of doorsets the saving runs to tens of thousands per project.
Can the cluster supply external insulated doorsets as well as internal?
Yes. The cluster produces insulated engineered external doorsets to EN 14351-1 — weather-sealed, thermally broken, and security-rated — alongside the internal and fire-rated range. External doorsets ship as complete CE-marked packages. Ériu specifies the thermal, weather, and security performance to the Irish project requirement and verifies the EN 14351-1 Declaration of Performance at the factory.
What face finishes are available — veneer, laminate, primed?
Doors ship with real-wood veneer (oak, walnut, ash and others), high-pressure laminate, foil, or primed-for-paint faces. Real-wood veneer suits premium residential and hotel fit-out; laminate and foil suit high-traffic commercial, healthcare, and student-accommodation use; primed-for-paint suits developers matching a site colour scheme. Ériu specifies the face finish per project and verifies veneer quality and consistency at the factory.
