FAQs
Are these seals suitable for external doors?
No, these Exitex intumescent fire and smoke door seal strips are specifically designed and tested for use on internal fire door assemblies only.
What is the fire rating of these seals?
The seals are CERTIFIRE approved and independently fire tested for 30 and 60 minutes to BS 476 Part 22 and BS EN 1634-1 standards.
How do I know if the size is right for my door?
Each strip measures 105cm x 1.5cm x 0.4cm. Measure the gap between your door and frame. This product is best suited for standard internal fire doors where this gap size is appropriate.
Can I paint over these seals?
Painting over the seals is not recommended as it may affect their performance and adhesion. The white color is designed to blend with most internal door finishes.
How many strips are in a pack?
Each pack contains five white strips.
What is the purpose of the brush pile?
The brush pile integrated into the seal is designed to help reduce smoke infiltration through the door gap and has been tested to BS EN 1634-3.
How long does the adhesive last?
With proper installation on a clean, dry surface, the self-adhesive backing should provide a secure hold for the lifespan of the product under normal conditions. Avoid excessive moisture or physical stress on the seal.
Troubleshooting
Seal not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Remove any residual dust, grease, or old adhesive. Apply firm, consistent pressure along the entire length of the seal during installation.
Door does not close properly after installation
The seal may be too thick for the existing gap, or it may have been installed incorrectly. Check for obstructions and ensure the seal is not protruding excessively. If necessary, consider using a thinner seal or adjusting door/frame alignment.
Seal is peeling away at the edges
This can happen if the surface was not adequately prepared or if there has been excessive moisture. Re-adhere the peeling section using a suitable, fire-rated adhesive, or replace the entire strip if significant detachment has occurred.
Smoke infiltration is still noticeable
Ensure the seal is correctly fitted along the entire perimeter of the door, including the top and sides. Check for any unsealed gaps or damage to the seal. For significant smoke issues, consider supplementary smoke seals or a different product designed for larger gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the door and frame surfaces where the seal will be applied are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose paint.
Measure and cut the seal strip to the required length using sharp scissors or a utility knife if necessary. Note: Cutting may affect fire rating; consult manufacturer if in doubt.
Peel back a section of the self-adhesive backing strip.
Carefully align the seal with the edge of the door or frame, applying firm, even pressure as you continue to peel and press the seal into place.
For optimal adhesion, allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before closing the door firmly.
Compatibility:
These strips are designed for standard internal fire door assemblies.
The dimensions are 105cm x 1.5cm x 0.4cm. Ensure this fits the gap between your door and frame. For larger gaps, additional fire-rated materials may be required.
The white color is intended for aesthetic integration with common interior door finishes.
Care:
To clean the seals, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the material and compromise its performance.
Periodically inspect the seals for any signs of damage, wear, or detachment. Replace any damaged seals immediately to maintain fire safety standards.
