Intumescent Ironmongery Protection

Intumescent ironmongery protection kits are essential to ensure full fire rating compliance for fire doors. We have intumescent lock jackets for our mortice locks and latches and we also have sheet intumescent that can be cut down to size too. 

Ironmongery can be CE marked for use on fire doors but without using correct intumescent material with them, they are non-compliant with fire door regulations (unless stipulated in test evidence). Intumescent, which is usually made using graphite, provides a barrier between the timber in a door and the ironmongery and it expands when it comes into contact with heat to fill in any gaps around it and help to slow down the spread of a fire and smoke for a period of time. 

It is extremely important that you choose intumescent material with the appropriate fire rating to correspond with the fire rating of the door itself for full fire door compliance. Please ensure that you read the descriptions of each product to check for the fire rating level achievable.
