Fire and Acoustic Seals (FAS) proudly announces the launch of its orange Fire Door Foam™, marking a groundbreaking shift in the fire-rated expanding foam landscape in the UK.

Departing from its conventional pink colour, this advanced product aims to simplify choices for installers and enhance safety measures in fire door installations.

The decision to transition from pink to orange stems from a strategic effort to distinguish this safety-critical product from generic pink fire foams that are common in the market. The colour change is envisioned to streamline decision-making for installers, offering clarity in product selection amid a landscape of varying functionalities and properties found in current fire foams.

FAS Fire Door Foam™ boasts impeccable credentials having undergone rigorous testing to meet relevant British Standards for installation with timber fire doorsets including:

• BS EN 476: Part 20 & 22: 1987
• BS EN 1634-1: 2014
  BS EN 1366-4: 2008
• BS EN 1634-3: 2004 (smoke control test)

The product also holds the prestigious Warringtonfire Certifire certification.

Julian Vollans, Managing Director at FAS emphasises the company’s commitment to safety, stating, "Safety is our priority, and we are excited about the positive impact this colour change will have on ensuring the right products are used for fire doorset installation. 

We understand the confusion surrounding pink fire foams so this change to orange should address these concerns, while retaining the product's impressive fire door-tested performance.

The colour change doesn't affect the formulation, but we’ve extensively tested it anyway at UKAS laboratories to supplement our existing portfolio of evidence.

It’s already our bestseller with UK housebuilders and contractors due to its quick installation benefits and proven performance, so this change should help to elevate it even further.

This move aligns with the creation of our dedicated FAS ‘Fire Door’ range launched last year. The aim is to position FAS as the preferred choice for fire door installation products within the industry.”

 

Fire and Acoustic Seals are also introducing orange FAS Fire Door Intumescent Acrylic Sealant to enhance the range of colours available and to complement the orange foam.

 

FAS fire door products have been specially designed and tested using standard timber or plastic packers to achieve fire ratings of 30 to 120 minutes when applied correctly around fire doorsets. Visit the website for installation and technical details.

Fire and Acoustic Seals have an extensive range of fire, smoke and acoustic seals and sealants in stock on next-day delivery service.
