Description

Hinge Fire Protection

Hinge fire protection, flexible intumescent protection sheet 1mm thick. Placed within the hinge, lock, or door closer space. Designed to protect metals and doors from overheating in a fire. Unaffected by moisture.

• Supplied in standard sizes for quick and easy fitting (some with self-adhesive backing, whilst others are plain).
• Ideal for use behind hinges and steel door closures and completely wrapped around the hidden parts of lock hardware on a fire-rated door.
• When installed, the sheet compresses without compromising its protective qualities. Unlike mastic, which is ineffective for hinge, lock, and door closure protection.
• Subsequently, the intumescent paper cools the lock, hinges, and screws and protects them from overheating in the event of a fire.

Under UK Building Regulations, all door furniture must be protected by intumescent material.

Furthermore, in a number of fire resistance tests, the product protected ironmongery.

Fire-rated intumescent plugs – a plastic tubular plug containing flexible intumescent material for fixing into holes in solid surfaces. Moreover, protects hinges by cooling them down in the event of a fire. In addition to this, the intumescent expands around the hinges, cooling the metal. Available in 38mm lengths with a diameter of 6mm or 8mm.
