Stop Fire and the Spread of Smoke
Hager Companies is committed to life safety by providing sealing systems to prevent fires and the spread of smoke. The gaps between a door leaf and its frame are necessary for everyday operation, but they form an area of vulnerability for the passage of smoke and flames in a fire situation. Positive pressure is generated when a fire starts in a closed room which causes smoke and gases to rapidly expand to other areas.

Hager Companies has introduced a special fire and smoke protection system based on an "intumescent" seal or gasket material that expands when exposed to hot gases, smoke and fires. Doorways fitted with such seals and gaskets provide impressive benefits for building occupants in terms of life safety.

These Hager products - placed around the perimeter of door assemblies - will expand on exposure to the intense heat from a fire. The expansion of intumescent stripping will form a highly efficient barrier to the passage of flames and hot gases under positive pressure. It is a fact that smoke travels further than fire and at a much higher speed. Hager's products are designed to block smoke, draft, sound and air from spreading in buildings under fire conditions and positive pressures.
