Certifire products – products you can be certain of!

The 30 minute fire rated letter plates are for 40-80mm door profiles and include pioneering features which slow down the speed in which a fire can travel through a door.

Intumescent lining is used on the letter plates, which has the unique ability to expand against heat which has radiated directly from a fire. The intumescent lining expands to 50 times its size, sealing any gaps in the door hardware. It is also activated at 5 degrees lower than any other intumescent available, meaning that the gaps are sealed faster and less smoke is able to get through the door.

Non-heat absorbing washers are used, which hold the doors attaching metal fittings. They are extremely important, forming part of the hour patent, acting as a heat sink, keeping the metal screws away from the plastic and in turn the heat.

These products have more than just fire protecting features! The flaps have 180 degree opening ability and ultra-flexible springs to withstand thousands of openings and prevent snapping – making a durable and long lasting product. The letter plate’s anti-vandal properties include outward facing brushes that will make it difficult for any unwanted items to be put into the cavity. The brushes protect against draughts in the home as well making inserting post easy.
