Intumescent seals

Posted on April 5, 2012 by FireSealStore

Intumescent SealIntumescent seals are the very latest generation in fire seals; they boast a large range of new and exciting features.  These seals are specifically designed for use within fire door assemblies for maximum impact. Fire door assemblies are often overlooked when you are protecting a building against fire, something that is vital to ensure that fire is not spread throughout a building.

An intumescent seal is assembled using a PVC casing, which contains an expandable graphite-based compound. This particular type of compound is completely unaffected from the moisture in the air; this ensures that the seal will always function correctly. Additionally the seal will not require any further protection during the installation of the intumescent seal.

Once the seal reaches a certain temperature from the heat of a fire, the expandable graphite compound that is located in the PVC casing will begin to release foam. This foam will then fill the door leaf to frame gap to ensure that a secure seal is made. The strong seal will then help stabilise fire door assemblies as they move and expand under the strong heat of the fire.  This is the reason why more and more builders and construction workers are beginning to use intumescent seals.

Our range of intumescent seals have been tested to 30 or 60 minute ratings which means they are capable of withstanding fire and preventing the spread of fire for up to 30 or 60 minutes. If someone is trapped within a building, this could be the difference between life and death.

Intumescent Seals are available in wide choice of colours to enable them to blend into door frames perfectly without being intrusive on the design of your door. Available in a range of sizes, Fire Seal Store is certain that we have a suitable intumescent seal for all your requirements.

This will then cause the seal to completely seal a door or window, this will then prevent any toxic smoke from entering the room. As with fire seals, they also come with a  30 or 60 minute  ratings, this means that they can withstand high temperatures and  help prevent smoke from entering a room for up to 30 or 60 minutes. Smoke seals can make the difference between life and death.

To ensure that our smoke seals are unintrusive, our range of seals are available in a choice of colour options to ensure that they blend directly into a door perfectly.

Fire GrilleFire Seal Store has a range of Fire Grille’s available to order online for next day delivery.

Fire Grille’s are extremely important when protecting a building again fire. Many regular air grille’s allow ventilation however, in a fire situation they often fail to provide sufficient protection. If a fire resistant wall has a regular  air grille installed it can significantly affect the resistance against fire the wall may have, therefore a sufficient fire grille is necessary.

Once a fire grille reaches a certain temperature in a fire situation, the grille slats will swell to many times their thickness and fuse together to create a barrier to prevent hot gases and smoke flowing through a building. In a normal situation a fire grille will allow regular air to flow through a building. Our choice of fire grilles are tested to 30-60 minute fire resistances meaning they can prevent gases and smoke flowing for up to 30-60 minutes depending on the fire grille that you choose. This will ensure that your fire wall is full protected against fire, in addition to fire grilles, if you have service pipes which have penetrated your fire wall our fire pipe collars are perfect for ensuring full protection.

Compression Seals

Posted on November 21, 2011 by FireSealStore

Compression SealsFire Seal Store offers a range of Compression Seals available for next day delivery. One of the most widely used compression seals is the P Shape seal (Pictured left). This seal can be used around doors and windows to help protect a property from the elements, and also prevent heat escaping. When installed the compression seal is squeezes often 10 to 15% of its original diameter to cause a snug, secure seal.

Compression seals can help absorb the tolerance between surfaces, for instance when a building moves, bends or flexes, compression seals can absorb this without losing the snug seal. They are particularly useful for buildings that use timber, or other wood. This is due to wood expanding over time, this can cause normal seals to break or lose their sealing properties. A compression seal will bend and flex to help maintain a secure seal.

In addition to its flexible properties, a compression seal can also maintain their seals to a range of pressures up to 200psi. This is perfect for high pressure environments to ensure a secure seal is always present. Compression Seals are available in a range of shapes and sizes, from rectangular gins to quad rings. Many do the same job as a p shaped compression seal, however P shape seals are more widely used due to their ease of installation and fantastic sealing properties. At Fire Seal Store our p-shaped seals are available in a number of different colours, this ensures that your seal blends seamlessly into your window or door frame.

All of our compression seals are available for next day home delivery.
