It’s estimated over 90% of fire door hardware sold in the merchant sector is compliant only when used in conjunction with intumescent hardware protection.
Leading independent third-party certification scheme – Certifire - highlights on selected reports clearly states, “Failure to install intumescent protection identified above will invalidate this certificate”.
How do you ensure that the builder buys the right product the first time when you are recommending fire door hardware? When the certification states compliance only with intumescent hardware protection that you are supplying a fully compliant solution.
One simple solution is to sell fire door hardware that clearly states the fire rating on the packaging and the hinges, locks and/or latches include the intumescent for total compliance which aligns perfectly to the hardware certification applicable for that product.
