New door seals get seal of approval

A new range of acoustic drop down seals is now available from Eurospec.  

The range is designed to satisfy the latest building regulations and requirements for sealing the gap under exterior doors against the ingress of rain, dirt, insects and other contaminates.  Internally it helps prevent the passage of sound, fire, smoke and light.

The drop seal range is suitable for both wooden and glass doors.  It is available in two versions – either morticed into the door itself or surface mounted which is ideal for retrofit applications.  Tested to 200,000 cycles, the patented flash seal can drop an impressive 14mm and is self-aligning to compensate for uneven floor finishes. It can block noise levels up to 57decibels making it ideal for areas where privacy is required - such as in music rooms, interview rooms, studios, surgeries and professional environments.

Quick and easy to install and adjust, the drop seal range eliminates the need for threshold plates while assisting compliance with aspects of DDA  and reducing slips or trips.  The seal is activated by the closing action of the door, dropping down to seal only when the door is closed.  It provides a cost-effective solution for parts E and M of the latest UK Building regulations relating to disability, access and energy conservation.

The seal is available in standard lengths from 330mm up to 1100mm which can be easily cut on site to the required door width.   In both versions, the rubber seal can be removed for cleaning or replacement without having to remove the door.  Also available are complementary acoustic perimeter seals, in white or brown, for the other three edges of the door.
