A door seal is such a small detail in the grand scheme of construction, but it has a huge impact on the performance of a building.

We recognise the vast importance a door seal can have on the safety, sustainability and privacy of a building. There’s a door seal to suit every residential and commercial building, and from day one, you’ll be thankful you paid attention to the finer details.
Let’s take-a-look at some everyday scenarios, and some unfortunate events that could occur, where a door seal will show its worth.
1. Fire
Fires are powerful, fast moving and unforgiving. If the unthinkable were to occur, you’d hope all the measures were in place to ensure the best chance of survival and restoration. Without a feature as simple as door seals, smoke containing toxic gases can escape one room and travel to the next in an instant. The gaps on each side of a door are crucial in its design, as when a fire is present, it draws oxygen through the gaps in the door frame, providing additional fuel for the flames.
Quality intumescent fire and smoke seals, manufactured with precision, will ensure harmful smoke & flames are contained, preventing it spreading further.
