Ensuring Safety with Fire Rated Products from UPVC Maintenance Supplies

When it comes to the safety and security of your home or commercial property, fire protection is paramount. At UPVC Maintenance Supplies, we understand the critical importance of having reliable fire-rated products to safeguard your premises. We offer a range of high-quality fire-rated items designed to provide you with peace of mind and enhance your property's safety.

Why Fire Rated Products Matter

Fire rated products are essential components in preventing the spread of fire and smoke, thereby protecting lives and property. These products are designed to withstand high temperatures and prevent fire from spreading for a specified period, allowing occupants more time to evacuate and emergency services to respond.

Our Top Fire Rated Products

1. Fire Resistant Letterplate

Our fire-resistant letterplate is an excellent example of innovative design and effective fire protection. Key features include:

• Intumescent Lining: This special material expands up to 50 times its size when exposed to high temperatures, effectively blocking the letterplate cavity and preventing smoke from entering the building.
• Compliance: It meets BS EN1634-3:2004 smoke leakage regulations and is rated to withstand fire for 60 minutes.
• Anti-Vandal Design: Outward-facing brushes prevent vandals from inserting unwanted items.
• Durable Construction: The flap opens up to 180 degrees without breaking, and heat absorbers prevent hot screws from melting the plastic.

2. Fire Rated Door Closers

Our Briton fire rated door closers are designed to meet stringent fire safety standards and are essential for both residential and commercial properties.

3. Intumescent Sheet

Our Exitex Intumescent Sheet is made from high-performance, 1mm flexible graphite-based material, specifically designed for use with fire doors. This sheet helps prevent heat transfer to door hardware during a fire, offering essential protection for your property. Using intumescent sheets can significantly slow the spread of fire and smoke, providing crucial time to safeguard lives and minimise damage.
