M1-rated bifold doors first in Finland

FP products have received the first in Finland to have M1 emission classification for its lightweight doors.
The M1 certificate is the highest emission rating for building materials awarded by Rakennustiedo and indicates that the product meets the strictest requirements for indoor air quality.

The classification is valid for products from 0 to 38db on all surfaces: artificial leather, genuine felt (100% wool), or PET felt (made from recycled plastic bottles).

What does this mean in practice?
✔️ Low VOC emissions
✔️ A safe choice for working and living environments
✔️ Easy approval for applications where M1 classification is required

When you choose a French door, you can now also choose a better indoor climate, as proven by research.

The M1 emission rating is an important tool for choosing building materials when the aim is to healthy and pleasant indoor air. It ensures that products release only small amounts of chemical compounds into indoor air and that materials have no unpleasant odours - a major benefit for both occupants and builders.

What is the M1 emission classification?

M1 emission classification is Finnish voluntary emission classification of building materials, which assesses the performance of building materials, furniture and interior components chemical emissions to indoor air and their impact on indoor air quality.

The core of the M1 classification:

  • It tells you that the product is proven low-emission - i.e. the product does not emit significant amounts of harmful compounds such as VOCs, formaldehyde or ammonia into indoor air.

  • The classification also takes into account good indoor air quality with acceptable odour levels, not just chemical emissions.

  • The M1 mark supports good indoor air and comfort - good indoor air is odour-free and low-emission materials help to achieve it.

The importance of classification:

  • M1 on designed to improve indoor air quality in buildings, and has been used successfully in Finland for more than 25 years (the first ratings were issued in the 1990s).

  • The M1-rated product also supports Environmental objectives of the EU taxonomy, because it shows the low emissions of the product.

  • The classification is broader than many other European emission classifications, because it also takes into account ammonia and odour, not just VOC and formaldehyde emissions.

How the classification is created:

  • Emission values will be measured using prescribed test methods after completion (e.g. after 28 days) to assess long-term emissions of the material to indoor air.

  • The M1 classification is granted for a period of three years and can only be used on the product when it is marketed as a classified product.

The FP-Products bifold door is an easy-to-use room divider that is a popular solution year after year in kindergartens, schools and offices. The concealed door acts as a sound insulator, and its soft surface with beams improves room acoustics - the sound absorption coefficient of real felt is as low as 0.65.
As an M1-rated product, the FP bifold door has been proven to be low-emission and therefore a safe choice, especially for kindergartens and schools.
The surface options for the concealed door are artificial leather, genuine felt (100% wool), or PET felt (made from recycled plastic bottles).
The frame material of the concealed door is durable aluminium combined with a steel scissor mechanism.
The door is available as standard in both one and two sections, but can also be customised into several sections.

  • Durable construction
  • M1-rated product
  • Many different artificial leather and felt colour options
  • Sound insulation up to 38dB
  • As a felt surface, it is an excellent acoustic enhancer
