Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Newton Mearns

From the G77 district outwards, we cover Newton Mearns and neighbouring towns such as Paisley and Rutherglen for fire door seal replacements.

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. We use the same method for buildings in Newton Mearns.
