FireFace Plus - Fire Resistant Membrane for Period Doors

 
FireFace PlusspacerMillenium Products

  Introduction

FireFace is available in 2 types: FireFace Standard and FireFace Plus. FireFace Plus is the thinner of the two options at a mere 1.8mm and offers a woodgrain surface which can be decorated, stained or veneered for a seamless match with surrounding timberwork. Please see the FireFace page for further information.

  Performance

Sealmaster FireFace membranes conform to the strict conventions of the ICOMOS Vienna and Burra Charters. They have passed exhaustive tests carried out in accordance with BS 476 on new and old panelled doors. FireFace has proven a reliable solution when applied to painted surfaces and to softwood panels as thin as 6mm including those with a central unglued joint.

  Fitting FireFace

FireFace is easily applied without damaging the fabric of the door. It can be fixed beneath or between beads and mouldings. A solvent based contact adhesive is available.

Small gaps and joins are made good with Sealmaster Masterseal - a gun-applied intumescent compound which can be sanded and decorated. Both types of FireFace can be decorated with emulsion or oil-based paints to match in. FireFace Plus can also be stained or veneered.
