FrameFit Bottom Door Seals

FrameFit is a new product range of materials designed to narrow the gaps on fire doors which do not meet the gap thickness requirements set out by UK building regulations.

The FrameFit Bottom Door Seals are designed to be used on the bottom of fire doors, if the gap between the floor and the door is greater than 8mm (on Fire Only doors) and 3mm (on Fire and Smoke doors).

In between the door and the bottom door seal, use the FrameFit low modulus strips to the adequate thickness to make the door compliant.

The fin on the bottom door seal may be trimmed if required.

Sizes

The FrameFit Bottom Door Seals come as 1m lengths which can be trimmed down lengthways if necessary.

For FD30 doors, choose the 44mm wide units. For FD60 doors, choose the 54mm wide units.

These will need to be able to be mechanically fixed around the bottom of the door, which needs to be at least 44mm thick.
