Advanced Sealing for Enhanced Smoke Protection

Tested for use on timber fire doors, the LAS8002 door bottom seal is specifically engineered for doors requiring dependable smoke containment. It automatically lowers into position as soon as the door closes, creating a tight and secure seal at the threshold. Tested rigorously on timber fire doors, it meets critical smoke leakage performance requirements, including temperature smoke tests as defined by BS EN 1634-3. 

With this seal installed, door assemblies remain compliant with strict UK fire safety regulations. It is recommended to install this drop seal with a perimeter seal, like the Lorient Batwing seal. Also, where a tighter gasket seal is required, use a floor threshold plate, like the LAS4010 or LAS4100. It should be checked periodically to make sure the door latches effectively after each operation. And, small adjustments can be made to the seal after installation to ensure a snug fit against the floor or threshold plate at all times.

Acoustic and Draught Reduction Benefits

Beyond its essential role in fire and smoke protection, the LAS8002 Lorient seal provides significant acoustic and draught reduction. Its tight sealing action reduces noise transfer between rooms, improving privacy and comfort. 

Additionally, the seal blocks unwanted draughts, contributing to increased energy efficiency and a more comfortable internal environment. These added benefits make it an excellent retrofit choice for hotels, healthcare facilities, and educational spaces.

Quick and Simple Installation

The LAS8002 drop seal is designed with practical installation in mind. It features a straightforward, face-fixed fitting method, allowing quick and easy installation. It’s suitable for use on timber fire doors - new or existing. Installation requires minimal preparation, saving valuable time for construction or maintenance staff. The activation button should be fitted on the hinge side of the door and the end caps come in two parts - one for the actuator button and one for the moving rail.

Available in various lengths and trimmable by 100mm, the seal adapts easily to different door widths, ensuring accurate and professional installation results every time.
