Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in County Armagh
Across County Armagh, including rural and island locations, we carry out fire door seal replacements for landlords, housing providers, schools and businesses.
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.
