Fire and smoke protection measures are an essential, life- saving precaution in a building. What’s more, they protect the property from the devastating consequences of the fire itself, and the damaging effects of hot and cold smoke. So it’s essential to get the product selection right, every time.

02/14

Lorient has a respected reputation for

designing and manufacturing a wide range

of products for fire and smoke containment.

Products are also designed with acoustic,

thermal and weather containment in mind,

as well as accessibility – so you can be

assured that a Lorient system provides an

integrated, cost-effective solution.

With 35 years’ experience and accumulated

knowledge, we pride ourselves on offering

ground-breaking innovations, underpinned by

technical excellence and exceptional quality.

Our dedicated R&D centre not only generates

successful product developments for Lorient;

it also allows us to work in partnership with

customers to develop and test their own

products too. Our indicative fire test furnace

is particularly popular, giving customers real

insight into their own products’ performance

and helping to save substantial testing costs.

Always keen to keep raising the bar, we are

committed to gaining third party certification

for our products wherever a suitable scheme

exists. Many products hold CERTIFIRE

certification, and we also hold approvals

from both the BBA and IFC.

We embrace the highest management

standards too, and hold both

BS EN ISO 9001:2008 and

BS EN ISO 14001:2004 certificates for

our quality and environmental management

systems. Achieving ISO 14001 is just one

part of our ongoing commitment to operate

in a sustainable way: many initiatives are

planned and already underway to reduce

materials and energy usage, as well

as waste.

In addition to our UK and Europe head office,

we have a number of operations around

the world; in North America, Hong Kong,

Singapore and Australia. Furthermore, we

have strong links in India and the Middle

East, which means that we’re able to deliver

the right solutions locally to our customers

throughout the world. By keeping abreast

of technical developments and changes to

codes, regulations and standards across

the continents, we can ensure we’re always

providing the highest level of expertise.

From advice to testing, new product

development to manufacture – we work best

in partnership with you.

2 SPECIALISED FIRE RESISTANT DOOR HARDWARE

On average 311 people are killed and 11,100 are injured* in fires each year in the UK alone. Many of the casualties are attributable to breathing the toxic products of combustion from a remote fire.

Fire and smoke also cause extensive damage to building fabric and contents. £2.52 billion* per annum is the estimated total of fire-related losses. The majority of these deaths, injuries and losses occur in buildings where fire and smoke protection measures have been inadequate.

Design Needs and Regulatory Requirements

When fire breaks out in a building the

threat is twofold. Firstly, there is the fire

itself and the hot smoke generated in the

immediate vicinity. Secondly, there is cold

smoke which will spread rapidly through

the building, threatening people and

property some distance from the fire.

The Building Regulations take both these

threats into account, and supporting

documents give criteria for how they

can be managed. Details can be found in

Approved Document B (England & Wales),

Technical Booklet E (N Ireland), and

Technical Handbook Section 2 (Scotland).

The Regulations require large buildings

to be divided into smaller fire and smoke

resistant ‘compartments’, to reduce the

risk of damage to the building as a whole

and also to save lives in the case of a fire.

Building a fire resistant wall or floor to

make a compartment is relatively simple.

However, building design becomes much

more complex when the compartments

need to be linked in some way – essential

to make the building usable. Every time an

aperture is cut into one of the compartment

boundaries (for example, to install a door

in a fire resistant wall, or to pass ductwork

through a wall or ceiling) the aperture

must be filled with something that will

preserve the fire and smoke integrity of the

compartment. That’s the role of Lorient’s

products – to work with the surrounding

elements of the building to ensure the fire

and smoke resistant compartments are

maintained. Our fire and smoke seals can

be fitted into fire rated doors; our glazing

products can be fitted into doors, screens

or fire rated partitions; our air transfer grilles

can be installed into doors, walls and ducts.

Fire and smoke protection products must

be tested to prove their performance –

and indeed, separate tests are required

for fire and smoke. Our products are all

extensively tested, and our test reports are

freely available on request. Just call our

Technical Services team on 01626 834252.

Fire Resistant Door Hardware

Fire rated doors often need additional items

of hardware installed to make them work

– locks, letterplates, door closers, security

viewers – as well as products to protect

them from damage. This brochure shows

our products that can safely be installed

into fire rated doors, without compromising

the fire and smoke integrity of the doorset.

Featured products include:

a range of door hardware items which

offer security and protection against

smoke and fire;

universal intumescent protection kits

available for door closers and other

ironmongery items;

durable door leaf edge protectors with

built-in acoustic, smoke and fire seals.

Relevant Standards

There are several British Standards which

relate to the products and solutions featured

in this brochure. They include:

BS 476 Pt. 22: 1987: Methods for

determination of the fire resistance of

non-loadbearing elements of construction;

BS 476 Pt.31.1: 1983: Methods for

measuring smoke penetration through

doorset and shutter assemblies;

Letterplates

Doors from common passageways to flats, apartments and offices are frequently required to be fire and smoke resistant. They may also need to be fitted with a letterplate. Fitting a ‘normal’ letterplate assembly would completely negate the fire and smoke resisting properties of a door.

We supply two fire and smoke resistant letterplate models. Our integrated fire/security letterplate can be fitted with a range of optional security devices.

Lorient fire and smoke resistant letterplates:

provide protection against fire and smoke at all temperatures

when fitted to previously tested door sets;

provide protection against cold smoke in line with the

requirements of BS 9999: 2008 and Approved Document B

to the Building Regulations.

All door furniture must be fitted in a way which ensures

the fire resisting properties of a door aren’t compromised.

In many instances it’s advised that ironmongery is bedded

in intumescent mastic or paste.

A quicker, easier, cleaner and more accurate solution is to

use shaped pads of intumescent material. We offer a range

of kits designed for use with:

hinges;

locks and latches;

concealed hydraulic door closers (see page 12).

Intumescent Protection Kits Hinge Protection Kits

We supply intumescent protection kits for commonly specified hinges.

These kits provide fire resistance of 30 minutes or 60 minutes

when fitted to full size door assemblies and tested in accordance

with BS EN 1363: Pt. 1: 1999.

Lock and Latch Protection Kits

If the lock or latch of a fire resistant door is unprotected, it inevitably

reduces the door’s fire protection performance. Lorient provides a

universal lock kit which enables family groups of mortise locks to be

incorporated in fire resistant door leaves, as well as a lock kit which

is available to suit larger lock sizes.

These kits provide fire resistance of 30 minutes or 60 minutes

when fitted to full size door assemblies and tested in accordance

with BS EN 1363: Pt. 1: 1999.

Hydraulic closers concealed in the door leaf are increasingly

popular – but they must not be fitted to fire resistant doors without

appropriate protective measures being taken. This is because:

they require a large portion of the door to be cut away which

immediately reduces fire resistance;

many models contain flammable hydraulic oil;

the aluminium housings are likely to melt in intense heat

leading to a breach;

they are made from materials which are very good heat

conductors and take up much of the available door leaf thickness.

Our intumescent protection kits overcome these problems.

They consist of a thin, high performance intumescent sheet,

pre-cut and scored so that they can be easily fitted around door

closers. The kits are self-adhesive for straightforward installation.

When tested in accordance with BS 476: Pt. 20/22: 1987 it was

shown that our closer protection kits can provide up to 60 minutes

protection, even on 44mm thickness door leaves.

The low pressure intumescent action ensures the door leaf is not

split. Insulation against heat transfer is provided as soon as the

intumescent material is activated.

Continuing Professional Development Seminars

Performance Door Design: The Basics of Sound Reduction

Effective acoustic containment helps to

improve the quality of the built environment,

preserving privacy as well as excluding

unwanted noise. With changing regulations,

it’s essential to be informed of the relevant

requirements and the implications for

door assemblies.

Our acoustic CPD seminar covers:

the nature of sound, examining

airborne transmission of sound;

regulatory requirements and

British Standards that relate

to acoustic performance;

test procedures and interpretation

of test reports;

effective design of door assemblies

for acoustic performance, including

door construction and the influence

of sealing systems;

design conflicts between acoustic

performance, durability and ease

of operation of the door;

independent accreditation.

The Role and Performance of Fire and Smoke-Resisting Door Assemblies

The importance of fire and smoke resisting

door assemblies is illustrated by the 311 annual deaths in fire tragedies in the UK

alone. Apart from the human toll, property losses each year approach £2.52 billion.

Our fire and smoke containment CPD

seminar covers:

hard facts concerning deaths, injuries

and property damage caused by fire

and smoke;

regulatory requirements for fire and

smoke resisting door assemblies;

the nature and behaviour of smoke;

effective design of door assemblies

for smoke containment, including the

threshold gap;

design conflicts between fire containment,

smoke containment, durability and ease

of operation of the door;

independent accreditation.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and its implications for fire doors

The RRO consolidated 70 pieces of

legislation; shifted responsibility for fire

safety management; abolished the Fire

Safety Certificate; established the Fire Risk

Assessment and created major change in

legal liability.

Our RRO CPD seminar covers:

an overview of the RRO;

product solutions;

the dangers of fire and smoke;

the importance of fire doors – including

installation and maintenance.

Our CPD materials have been independently
