Intumescent & Smoke Seal Replacement in Farnham: questions

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.

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.

It depends on the number of doors and access. Tell us what you need and we will give you the earliest date when you call, and confirm it in writing.
