Our Mission

Closing The Gap With
Hardwood Wedges.

BS 8214:2026 requires supporting evidence for every component in a fire door installation. FireWedge takes that seriously. Every batch is tested for density and species by an independent testing facility, with a batch-specific Certificate of Conformity issued with every order and a dedicated supply chain built exclusively for fire door installation.

Until now that level of assurance simply wasn't available, wedges sourced as a side product from timber merchants and joinery suppliers, with no dedicated supply, no density verification, no documentation and unpredictable lead times. FireWedge was built to close that gap.

The UK's first and only dedicated hardwood packing wedge manufactured specifically for the Fire Door Industry.

On-Site Compliance

How the CoC Reference
Works in the Field

Every pack label carries a unique CoC reference number. When your fitter photographs it on site, you get permanent, auditable proof — tied to that specific doorset — without any extra steps or integrations.

Full Compliance GUIDE →
1

Order Online

Your email confirmation includes the Certificate of Conformity for your order — sent directly to your inbox.

2

Packs Arrive Labelled

The Certificate of Conformity reference number is printed directly on every pack label. No separate document to track.

3

Photograph on Site

The fitter photographs the pack label during installation using their site documentation app, tagged to that specific doorset.

4

Evidence Created

The photo proves: this pack — this Certificate of Conformity — this fire door. An unbreakable evidential link.

Auditable for Life

The record lives in your documentation platform — verifiable by auditors and inspectors at any point in the building's lifetime.

Sustainability

Timber used.
Trees replaced.

FireWedge is built from sustainably sourced hardwood. We know that timber is a finite resource, which is why every single order we fulfil plants one new tree in the ground, verified and monitored through our partnership with Treeapp.

We believe a responsible timber business gives back more than it takes. For every doorset packed with FireWedge, the timber used is offset with a living, growing tree, contributing to reforestation, carbon sequestration, biodiversity restoration and local community livelihoods.
