Fire-Rated Door Sealing Solutions for Life Safety & Code Compliance
Intumescent fire stop products are designed to help maintain the integrity of fire-rated door openings by sealing gaps around doors during a fire event. When exposed to high temperatures, intumescent materials expand significantly, helping block the passage of flames, smoke, and hot gases that can spread throughout a building.
These products play an important role in fire door assemblies used in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, hotels, government facilities, apartment complexes, industrial properties, and other locations where life safety and fire protection are critical. Properly installed fire-rated gasketing and sealing products help support compliance with building codes and fire safety standards.

In addition to helping contain fire, many fire-rated sealing products also provide benefits such as smoke control, sound reduction, draft protection, and improved energy efficiency. These solutions are commonly used on wood, hollow metal, steel, and specialty fire-rated door assemblies.
Choosing the correct fire-rated sealing system depends on factors such as door type, fire rating requirements, opening dimensions, smoke control requirements, and local building code standards. Selecting the appropriate product helps ensure optimal performance while maintaining the intended fire rating of the door assembly.
