Essential Fire Door Protection
Our Intumescent Strips are a simple but vital addition to any fire door installation. Designed to expand when exposed to intense heat, they help block the spread of smoke and flames, giving occupants valuable extra time to escape and protecting property from further damage.
Whether you’re fitting new fire doors or upgrading existing ones, these strips are an essential part of meeting UK fire safety regulations and ensuring your doors achieve their certified FD30 or FD60 performance.
How Intumescent Strips Work
When exposed to high temperatures, intumescent material rapidly swells to many times its original size. This expansion seals the gap between the door and frame, creating a barrier that slows down fire and smoke penetration.
Key benefits:
-
Critical for compliance with UK fire safety standards.
-
Rapid expansion under heat to block flames and smoke.
-
Suitable for FD30 and FD60 fire doors.
-
Easy to fit in new installations or as a retrofit upgrade.
-
Available in a range of sizes and finishes to suit your door type.
Complete Your Fire Door Installation
To achieve full certification and optimum performance, pair your intumescent strips with Fire Door Seals and a high-quality Fire Door. This ensures your installation not only meets legal requirements but also offers complete peace of mind for years to come.
We also recommend Fire Door Frames for a compliant and durable finish.
