Description

Intumescent Metal Fire Box

An internal intumescent metal fire box suitable for use in areas with vulnerability to arson or vandalism attacks. The intumescent expands under heat and contains fire spread, which will stop fires. This product is safe to use as it does not contain liquids or gasses. Also available as an intumescent flexible fire bag.

Burning paper and liquids put through mail apertures in doors and walls can have devastating consequences. Nocturnal arson attacks on homes can be particularly worrying for domestic residents. The Envirograf rigid firebox protects mail slots, so homes and businesses have the confidence that their premises will remain safe against damaging and disruptive arson attacks. The metal firebox fits onto the back of the door or wall. Intumescent material will extinguish the fire, which can be easily renewed. Rigid metal fireboxes come with a hinged lid and flush lock as standard. A hinged front door is available as an optional extra.

Tested to BS476 Part 22 (1987). Fireboxes and bags self extinguish flames and fire, so will not allow anything to burn.


Our products upgrade doors to Fire Door rating, in compliance with Building Control. Browse our full range of Fire Door products and Fire Door Accessories online.
