Unlocking the Benefits of the DS Seal: A Multifunctional Door Seal
When it comes to sealing solutions for doors, Lorient's DS Seal stands out as a top choice for architects, builders, and construction professionals. With its innovative design and exceptional performance, the DS Seal offers a multitude of benefits that enhance both the functionality and efficiency of a door assembly.
Let's explore some of the advantages of Lorient's DS Seal:
- Fire & Smoke Protection – In the event of a fire the DS seal will expand & seal the gaps between the fire door leaf and frame around the door, containing the spread of fire for a period of time. The fins on the seal restrict smoke movement around a building – giving people time to escape and reducing property damage.
- Acoustic Containment – Excellent acoustic performance to meet the requirements of Approved Document E. Lorient’s fin seal technology has been proven to deliver superior acoustic performance when compared to a brush type seal.
- Thermal Containment – Successfully tested for air tightness under BS 476: Pt.31.1: 1983 – this makes a positive contribution to thermal containment between spaces within a building, as well as for external doors.
- Tested & Proven – It is tested and certified to meet rigorous fire and smoke resistance standards – meeting Approved Documents B. Fire: BS 476-22:1987 & BS EN 1634-1:2008. Smoke: BS 476-31.1: 1983 at ambient temperature. Assessment: CNA/F14171. Acoustic: BS EN ISO 10140-2:2010.
- Continuous sealing at ironmongery points – Its unique design means that whichever way around the product is installed, the seal can always be fitted in the correct place, maintaining the integrity of the acoustic and smoke seal at the ironmongery points.
