Default new doorway - fire door ?

I'm building a new doorway into a kitchen/diner, and as I will do a
loft conversion one day, it makes sense to fit any new doorways with
30 minute fire doors.
Since its a new doorway, should I get a fire door and frame, or fit a
normal doorframe and the stick-on intumescent strip as sold by B&Q,
Wickes etc. with their fire doors ?
Also, any sensible priced but attractive fire doors around ?
Thanks,
Simon.


Firedoor frames have a deeper recess than normal doors. The
intumescent strip is installed in a slot machined in the edge of the
doors.
