Lorient introduces new RIBA approved CPD: "The Importance of Fire Doors & Intumescent Seals"


Lorient, a leading manufacturer of high-performance sealing systems, is proud to announce the launch of its new RIBA-approved CPD seminar, "The Importance of Fire Doors & Intumescent Seals."

Fire doors and intumescent seals are key components in preventing the spread of fire and smoke through a building, saving lives, and protecting property. This CPD is designed to provide architects, specifiers, and building professionals with valuable insights into the specification and installation of these life-saving systems, ensuring compliance with the latest fire safety standards.


Key Features of the CPD:
  • Detailed fire safety data: A review of current statistics on deaths, injuries, and property damage caused by fire and smoke, highlighting the essential role of effective fire doors and its components.
  • Comprehensive understanding of intumescent seals: Exploration of how intumescent seals function, the importance of third-party certification, and the impact of ironmongery on fire door performance.
  • Fire testing and standards in the UK: Detailed information on UK fire testing processes and fire/smoke leakage standards to ensure full regulatory compliance.
  • Practical solutions: Real-world product solutions that meet fire safety requirements, providing practical advice for professionals tasked with specifying fire-resistant products.


With fire safety regulations becoming more stringent, Lorient’s CPD is a timely resource for professionals across the construction and building industries. It clearly explains fire doors, intumescent seals, and the practical steps needed to ensure compliance and protection.
“We are thrilled to introduce this RIBA-approved CPD, which emphasises the crucial role of fire doors and intumescent seals in passive fire protection,” said Sarah Lewis, Specification Manager at Lorient. “Our goal is to empower professionals with the latest knowledge and tools needed to specify and install the most effective fire safety solutions.”


The RIBA-approved CPD is now available for booking through Lorient’s website, with both in-person and virtual options. Whether professionals require CPD certification or tailored presentations, Lorient offers accessible and practical learning opportunities.
