Guest Guest Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Do steel doors need smoke seals? There is a seal around the door set at my work place but a seal is missing on one side. Is this a smoke seal or acoustic seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil ashdown Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 The requirement for smoke seals is based on the needs in terms of fire strategy at the building. For example, fire escape routes would benefit greatly from restricted spread of smoke as would sleeping areas. Having the door type (steel/timber) alone reveals nothing about any requirement for smoke seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 As said it depends on location. Protecting an escape route is a common situation where a door would need smoke seals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
