Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Mid Glamorgan
Our fire door seal replacements cover the whole of Mid Glamorgan, across local authorities including Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff.
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 Mid Glamorgan: 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.
Can intumescent strips be painted?
Brush and fin smoke seals should never be painted, because paint stops them working. Some intumescent strips tolerate a light coat, but the safest rule is to mask all seals before decorating and replace any that have been painted.
