Lorient is delighted to launch a printed version of its Air Transfer Grille technical brochure.
It brings together key product performance characteristics with new technical content to make it easier to specify air transfer grilles.
intumescent air transfer grilles
Proudly a Made in Britain manufacturer, Lorient has a market-renowned range of intumescent air transfer grilles. In everyday use, the grilles allow fresh air to circulate through doors, walls, ducts, floors, and ceilings.
In the event of a fire, the intumescent slats and framing components swell
However, wherever air moves, fire and smoke can travel too. In the event of a fire, the intumescent slats and framing components swell to many times their original size, fusing together to form a non-combustible mass, which provides a barrier to fire.
Smoke protection is vital
Smoke protection is also vital. Lorient offers a range of intumescent grilles and dampers with an added smoke control shutter: their Talkback system.
