Door Industry Journal - Spring 2022

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 119 THE door industry journal spring 2022 Fire Doors, Safety & Security Promat UK’s range includes several options for glazed panels, including PYROSEC® glass, along with PROMSEAL® PL strip for intumescent seals and a noncombustible calcium silicate fire protection board, PROMATECT® H. This can be used to form the core material of fire doors as well as provide insulation strips where required in an assembly. It can also, in certain conditions, be used to provide extra insulation to enable the upgrading of doors. Cath McLean, Segment Manager at Promat UK says: “Remember that a fire doorset is considered in its entirety, so only ‘tested’ materials must be used in its construction, and these must be those prescribed in the test. “There is no scope for substitution of tested materials, because this may seriously affect the overall performance of the doorset in the event of a fire. This is a reputational risk that no professional doorset manufacturer can afford to take. “Unfortunately, if you source fire protection materials from numerous suppliers, such as the glass from one place and the frame and intumescent seals from another, this is what can result. That’s why Promat UK, as a single-source supplier, takes away the ambiguity and helps manufacturers deliver dependable fire doors.” Find out more at www.promat.com Glazing for Life®
