The UK market for fire stopping is substantial with double digit growth predicted in each of the next five years. Changes now coming into effect following the 2021 Fire Safety Act are fuelling some of that growth – and that’s not the only reason why builders merchants should consider stocking fire stopping products.
Norseal is launching FrameFit, the ultimate gap remediation solution for fire doors and the quick and simple alternative to total replacement of defective, nominal, and notional fire doors with excessive gaps. The system has been fully and rigorously fire tested, making it the perfect answer to bring non-compliant doors into compliance on the spot.
The world of doors is full of jargon so we have put together a handy glossary of terms. If you need help on anything technical then ask the experts:

Norseal is delighted to have supported the latest National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) charity ball held to raise funds for Oasis Community Housing, a great cause that helps and supports homeless people in London and the North East, addressing both their immediate needs and the root causes of homelessness.
All intumescent strips are the same, right? Wrong! You might be surprised to know, that there’s a variety of different types that behave slightly differently and that it’s important to choose the right one for every application.
Intumescent strips should be fitted to fire doors so that, when they are exposed to the high temperatures of a fire they will intumesce (swell), expanding to close any gaps or edges and stopping the spread of smoke and flames giving people time to escape while the emergency services work.
Fire safety in UK buildings – not just residential high rises is changing. The review of fire safety and construction after the Grenfell Tower disaster has pinpointed construction failures that contributed to buildings that were simply not fit for purpose. The recommendations that come from the Hackitt enquiry addressed these issues through the whole construction process, from the initial design stages through construction to handover and ongoing occupation.
At Norseal, we are all about acoustic sealing of doors. We can talk at length about the benefits of fitting an acoustic drop seal to a door – how a well sound proofed door can aid concentration in schools, productivity in offices, a peaceful night’s sleep, and happy guests in hotels…the list is endless.
The most compact TS008-compliant letter plate ever made – the TS008 Soterian Slim from UAP – is now available to order from Norseal.
Previous TS008-complaint letter plates have proved problematic due to their bulky design on the inside face of the door which sometimes makes it difficult to open the door to its full extent, restricting clear openings and compromising the door’s compliance with the Equality Act. The Soterian Slim overcomes this with a slimline design that combines practicality and aesthetics without compromising security and safety.
Norseal, the number one door seal supplier, in collaboration with its partner Pyroplex, has developed a hatless version of its popular TF130 Glazing Gasket. The TF130 is an innovative and cost-effective solution for 30-minute fire resistant sealing of glazing vision panels in doors and screens. The TF130 is a slimline hatless seal, making it an unobtrusive choice.
Hundreds of FD30 fire doors at a historic hotel in London’s Piccadilly have been fitted with a variety of Norseal intumescent and fire rated products, many of them made bespoke by Norseal, to make the job quicker, easier and trouble-free for joinery contractor NBJ.
