Intumescent Strips & Pads

How Intumescent Strips & Pads Work

When temperatures rise during a fire, the intumescent material within these strips or pads reacts by expanding many times its original size. This expansion fills any gaps around the door leaf or frame, creating a tight, smoke-resistant seal. This process significantly slows down the spread of fire through door assemblies, helping to contain it within a single compartment for as long as possible.

Ideal for Fire-Rated Doors

Our Intumescent Strips & Pads are specifically designed for use with FD30 and FD60 fire-rated doors, ensuring compliance with UK fire safety regulations. They can be easily fitted along the edges of the door or within the frame, providing discreet yet highly effective fire protection without compromising the door’s appearance or performance.

Types and Applications

We offer a wide selection of intumescent products to suit various applications:

• Intumescent Strips: Installed around the perimeter of the door to form a continuous fire and smoke seal.

• Intumescent Hinge Pads: Placed behind hinges to maintain door integrity and prevent weak points during high temperatures.

• Combined Fire and Smoke Seals: Include both intumescent material and brush or blade smoke seals for dual protection.

These products are suitable for both commercial and residential environments, including offices, apartment blocks, schools, and public buildings where enhanced fire protection is required.
