The Noberne Seals comprehensive range of fire rated Air Transfer Grilles are suitable for use in fire resisting doorsets and compartment walls and can offer protection against fire and smoke for up to 4 hours in some applications.

In normal use, our systems allow air to be circulated and moved throughout the building. During a fire the systems are designed to close either by the fire itself through the intumescent properties of the product, or via a motorised actuator linked to the alarm system.

Recent developments with one of our key strategic alliances, has led to Certifire approval for fire rated air transfer systems in timber doors, walls and floors.  In being associated with Industry leading organisations such as Lorient Polyproducts and Pyroplex, increases Noberne's ever-increasing library of test evidence and certification for our product range, and is testament to our ethic of providing proven, fit for purpose fire protection solutions.

Pyroplex Fire & Air Transfer Systems

Pyroplex offers a comprehensive range of Fire Rated Air Transfer Grilles that are suitable for use in fire resisting doorsets and compartment walls for up to 60 minutes fire resistance.

In normal use, the Pyroplex system allows air to be circulated and moved throughout the building. During a fire the system is designed to close and provide a fire barrier to restrict the passage of hot gases.

Pyroplex Air Transfer Grille Systems are tested for 30 and 60 minutes fire resistance. Test Reports No.146520/146521 and 148053 apply - combined within Assessment Report No.149511.

Lorient Fire & Air Transfer Systems

Fire resistant walls and floors in a building play an important part in containing the spread of fire and smoke. However, a building also needs to be well ventilated for the health and comfort of its occupants. Systems of natural and mechanical ventilation often require ducting to pass through fire resistant walls and floors, and this can compromise the fire containment in the building.

The Lorient solution is to fit intumescent air transfer grilles at the point where the fire resistant wall or floor is breached. Under normal circumstances these grilles allow air to pass freely through the building. However, in the event of fire the slats and frame swell to many times their original thickness, fusing together to form a non-combustible mass which provides fire resistance to match the surrounding construction, and prevents the passage of hot smoke and gases.

When combined with automatic smoke control systems, Lorient's intumescent air transfer grilles will also provide protection against cold smoke. These electrically powered dampers/shutters are connected to a standard smoke or fire alarm/detection system which, when triggered, causes the dampers/shutters to close thereby preventing the passage of cold smoke. Under normal circumstances the dampers/shutters remain open allowing the free passage of air.
