Gaps around the four sides of a fire door leaf are essential – it’s the only way the door can open and close. But these gaps create a point of weakness, where fire can take hold and destroy the door, and lethal smoke can pass through. Intumescent fire & smoke seals are designed to expand when exposed to heat and fill the gaps between the door leaf and frame; preventing the passage of smoke and fire to other parts or compartments of the building. This allows more time for people to escape – reducing the number of deaths and property damage.

The new Acoustic, Smoke & Fire Seals for Door Assemblies brochure features a wide range of intumescent seals and details their technical performance in a structured, clear format. Many of Lorient’s door seals are multi-functional and can provide the highest standard of protection against sound (Approved Document E); smoke at all temperatures and fire (Approved Document B); while offering low frictional resistance for ease of door operation (Approved Document M). Finishing touches can make all the difference, at Lorient you have a choice of standard colours and a range of beautiful woodgrain finishes to complement any project.

Highlights from the new digital brochure include interactive buttons that link directly to acoustic test reports, product certification, NBS Source; new FD30 and FD60 product applications; a product selector to help choose the right seals; FAQs and much more.
