Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Ayrshire
Our fire door seal replacements cover the whole of Ayrshire, across local authorities including East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire, South Ayrshire.
Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement: Intumescent seals are strips set into the edge of a fire door or its frame that expand when heated to close the gap around the door. Smoke seals, usually brush or fin seals, block cold smoke before the intumescent reacts. Both are part of the door's tested performance.

Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Ayrshire: questions
Can I just stick new seals over the old ones?
No. Seals should be fitted into the groove after the old seal is removed, in the size and type the door was tested with.
What is the difference between an intumescent strip and a smoke seal?
An intumescent strip expands in heat to seal the gap during a fire. A smoke seal, often a brush or blade, blocks cold smoke at lower temperatures. Smoke control doors, marked with an S such as FD30S, need both.
Which fire safety law applies in Ayrshire?
In Scotland, fire safety duties for workplaces, HMOs and other non-domestic premises come from the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, with new work designed to the Scottish building standards.
