This high-performance seal is designed to stop smoke from passing under a fire door as well as providing an effective barrier against fire, the outside climate, noise, light and insects.
A drop down seal is activated once the door is closed. This means the door threshold remains clear without the need for a high fixed threshold. It’s the ideal seal to meet document part E and part M of UK building regulations where disability, access and energy conservation is concerned.
The Applique features a satin anodised aluminium finish with galvanised steel flat springs and reinforced actuators and is endurance-tested to 200,000 cycles with a 14mm maximum drop.
The seals are acoustically tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3:1995 and achieved a rating of up to 29dB Rw, fire tested to BS476: Part 20/22: 1987 to 60 minutes and smoke tested to BS EN 1634-3:2004.
This easy-to-fit seal is a versatile solution that comes with pre-fitted screws for a quick and cost-effective installation and can be shortened or cut down if required by 150mm.

Q
Are the seals suitable for use where the floor dips in the middle of the doorway? One end the gap is 7mm, in the middle 10mm, and the other end 3mm. Thank you
A
The Fire Door Drop seals will accomodate a slight slope in the floor with a 2-4mm toloerance form lock side to hinge side.
However, they will not accomodate any dips in the middle of the floor and you may need to look at a threshold plate to address this.
Q
Can these be installed over a kick plate?
A
Surface Mounted Drop seals are not tested with use with a kickplate.
Q
What is the name of the tool in the video ( 3mm) does it come with the packaging and what is its purpose ?
A
This is a 3mm Allen Key and is used to adjust the drop seal when fitting. These are not included in the pack.
Q
As these are surface mounted do you do any other finishes to match the other door hardware?
A
The Applique 37 Drop Seals are currently only available in the satin silver finish however we are able to get other colours as a special order however there may be a minimum order quantity - please get in touch if this would be of interest.
Q
HI, I have a large gap and the bottom of the door, can this be used to close that up.
A
The Applique 37 will cover gaps up to 14mm, if your gap is larger than this you may need to look at the rebated models, please email us at [email protected] with the details and we can help identify the right drop seal for you.
Q
Can these seals be used to reduce water ingress under an external door
A
We would not recommend these drop seals for this type of usage.

A
Good afternoon. These products are tested for internal fire doors and make a seal from smoke and draught. Whilst they will create a seal, we wouldn't recommend these for external use.
