Retail Aluminium Entrance Doors
Fire & Weather Seal Upgrade

Worn seals were letting in weather and risking non-compliance. We supplied and fitted new intumescent fire and smoke seals with continuous perimeter weather strips, then tested and signed off.

Intumescent Stripping Replacement

We surveyed the aluminium double entrance doors, measured clearances and removed worn or missing seals. New intumescent fire and smoke seals were installed around the leaf and frame, with continuous EPDM/brush weather stripping to the head, jambs and threshold. Hinges and closers were adjusted for correct closing speeds and consistent latch.

Final checks confirmed even gaps, firm compression of the seals and a smooth, quiet close. Work was completed out of hours to avoid disruption, with before/after photos and a short report confirming the doors are now weather-tight and back in line with fire-safety expectations.

Following a fast on-site assessment, we specified a like-for-like upgrade of the door sealing system. The team removed degraded materials, cleaned the frame channels and fitted new intumescent fire/smoke seals alongside durable perimeter weather seals. We re-set the door closer to achieve full, controlled closure against the seals and re-aligned keeps for efficient latching.

The upgrade reduces air and water ingress, improves thermal performance and restores the intended fire/smoke containment function. Handover included photos, gap measurements and operational tests documented for the client's records.

"Every entrance is a promise: to open easily, close safely, and protect what matters inside. By renewing the intumescent fire and smoke seals and adding continuous weather stripping, we're restoring more than a door: we're restoring confidence, comfort, and compliance. The work is measured in millimetres and minutes after hours, but its impact is felt every trading day - quieter closes, warmer thresholds, safer spaces for customers and staff.”

On-site Repairs in Action

This project targeted three issues: compliance, comfort and efficiency. By replacing the failed seals with fresh intumescent fire and smoke strips plus robust weather sealing, we removed draughts and water ingress while reinstating the door's safety role.

Minor hardware adjustments ensured reliable closing and a consistent seal line. The result is a smarter entrance that protects stock and customers from the elements, supports fire-safety duties and reduces ongoing maintenance calls.

Clean lines, tight seals and a confident close. The entrance now resists wind and rain, contains smoke more effectively in an incident and feels better for customers and staff.
