  Benefits
  • Optimum flow of natural light.
  • Includes draught, fire and smoke seals.
  • Mimics style of toughened glass doors.
  • Single and double leaf doorsets available with 30 or 60 minute rating (BS 476).
  Features

Fully-glazed fire doors can be seamlessly integrated into untreated timber, steel and partitioned systems. The image above shows a 30 minute fire door as part of a faceted butt-jointed fire screen in the Heathrow Hilton Hotel. Even though the door stiles can be as slim as 22mm, the doors incorporate Sealmaster Ultima seals which seal draughts in daily use plus fire and smoke during a blaze.

  Options

Single and double leaf doorsets are available with a 30 or 60 minute fire integrity rating (BS 476). The doors may be operated manually or automatically and the glass can be drilled for bolt-through handles. An acid etching effect can be used to create varied levels of obscurity. The slim steel frames are available in a variety of finishes.

  Components

The FireGlaze intumescent seals used in glass doors typically include three key components - FireGlaze Compound, FireGlaze GR15 dry bead strip and Ultima fire and smoke seals.
