John W Posted March 26, 2023 Report Share Posted March 26, 2023 I am replacing the intumescent seals in a small theatre. It seems when they were installed in 1997 the chippy trimmed bits out to accommodate the hinges. I'm unsure if it was acceptable for the intumescent seal to be cut to accomodate door furnature on a FD30 fire door and is it acceptable to replace in the same way. Do I need to 1 - relocate all the hinges to clear the channel for the strip 2 - cut the strip either side of the hinges and fill the channel 3 - trim the new seals in the same way as the old ones. The door sets came from Shapland, I can't find any data about them. **sorry originally posted this under the wrong heading** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike North Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Most 30 min doors can be installed like this, it is only 60 and above where at lease one the strips must be continuous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W Posted March 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 Thanks for that Mike. From a maintenance point of view is acceptable to cut the new seals in the same way as the old ones I am replacing? (As pictured above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
