FIRE SAFETY WEEK | 22 SEPTEMBER

How much attention do you give the linear gaps around fire doorsets?

As part of Fire Safety Week, Fire & Acoustic Seals are inviting architects, specifiers, contractors and construction professionals to join our RIBA-approved CPD:

The Importance of Sealing the Linear Gap Around Fire Door Sets

In this 1-hour CPD, we'll explore:

🔸 The role of fire doors in protecting life and property
🔸 Fire testing standards and forthcoming regulatory changes
🔸 The impact of Grenfell on fire safety and industry practices
🔸 Key considerations when specifying linear gap sealants
🔸 Correct approaches to achieving compliant fire-rated doorsets

🚨 Has BS 8214:2026 banned fire-rated expanding foam?

Since the publication of BS 8214:2026, we've seen plenty of discussion across the industry—and one question keeps coming up:

"Can fire-rated expanding foam still be used around fire door frames?"

The answer is yes.

The revised standard does not ban or exclude fire-rated expanding foam. Instead, it places greater emphasis on selecting products that are supported by appropriate fire test evidence and are suitable for their intended application.

In our latest blog, we explain:

✅ What has changed in BS 8214:2026
✅ Why the focus has shifted to evidence-based compliance
✅ What the standard actually says about fire-rated expanding foam
✅ Why independent fire testing remains the key to product selection

Whether you're an installer, contractor, specifier or building owner, understanding the changes will help you make informed decisions when specifying and installing fire door systems.

When BS 8214:2026 was published, many installers, contractors and fire door professionals began asking the same question:
