protecting against
smoke and fire
Fire and smoke protection measures are an essential, life-
saving precaution in a building. Whats more, they protect
the property from the devastating consequences of the fire
itself, and the damaging effects of hot and cold smoke.
So its essential to get the product selection right, every time.

Lorient has a respected reputation for We embrace the highest management

designing and manufacturing a wide range
of products for fire and smoke containment.
Products are also designed with acoustic,
thermal and weather containment in mind,
as well as accessibility so you can be
assured that a Lorient system provides an
integrated, cost-effective solution.
With 35 years experience and accumulated
knowledge, we pride ourselves on offering
ground-breaking innovations, underpinned by
technical excellence and exceptional quality.
Our dedicated R&D centre not only generates
successful product developments for Lorient;
it also allows us to work in partnership with
customers to develop and test their own
products too. Our indicative fire test furnace
is particularly popular, giving customers real
insight into their own products performance
and helping to save substantial testing costs.
Always keen to keep raising the bar, we are
committed to gaining third party certification
for our products wherever a suitable scheme
exists. Many products hold CERTIFIRE
certification, and we also hold approvals
from both the BBA and IFC.
standards too, and hold both
BS EN ISO 9001:2008 and
BS EN ISO 14001:2004 certificates for
our quality and environmental management
systems. Achieving ISO 14001 is just one
part of our ongoing commitment to operate
in a sustainable way: many initiatives are
planned and already underway to reduce
materials and energy usage, as well
as waste.
In addition to our UK and Europe head office,
we have a number of operations around
the world; in North America, Hong Kong,
Singapore and Australia. Furthermore, we
have strong links in India and the Middle
East, which means that were able to deliver
the right solutions locally to our customers
throughout the world. By keeping abreast
of technical developments and changes to
codes, regulations and standards across
the continents, we can ensure were always
providing the highest level of expertise.
From advice to testing, new product

 Fire and Smoke Life Threatening Forces
On average 311 people are killed and 11,100 are injured* in fires each year in the
UK alone. Many of the casualties are attributable to breathing the toxic products of
combustion from a remote fire.
Fire and smoke also cause extensive damage to building fabric and contents. 2.52
billion* per annum is the estimated total of fire-related losses. The majority of these
deaths, injuries and losses occur in buildings where fire and smoke protection measures
have been inadequate.
Design Needs and
Regulatory Requirements
When fire breaks out in a building the
threat is twofold. Firstly, there is the fire
itself and the hot smoke generated in the
immediate vicinity. Secondly, there is cold
smoke which will spread rapidly through
the building, threatening people and
property some distance from the fire.
The Building Regulations take both these
threats into account, and supporting
documents give criteria for how they
can be managed. Details can be found in
Approved Document B (England & Wales),
Technical Booklet E (N Ireland), and
Technical Handbook Section 2 (Scotland).
The Regulations require large buildings
to be divided into smaller fire and smoke
resistant compartments, to reduce the
risk of damage to the building as a whole
and also to save lives in the case of a fire.
Building a fire resistant wall or floor to
make a compartment is relatively simple.
However, building design becomes much
more complex when the compartments
need to be linked in some way essential
to make the building usable. Every time an
aperture is cut into one of the compartment
boundaries (for example, to install a door
in a fire resistant wall, or to pass ductwork
through a wall or ceiling) the aperture
must be filled with something that will
preserve the fire and smoke integrity of the
compartment. Thats the role of Lorients
products to work with the surrounding
elements of the building to ensure the fire

 Letterplates
Doors from common passageways to flats, apartments
and offices are frequently required to be fire and smoke
resistant. They may also need to be fitted with a letterplate.
Fitting a normal letterplate assembly would completely
negate the fire and smoke resisting properties of a door.
We supply two fire and smoke resistant letterplate models.
Our integrated fire/security letterplate can be fitted with a
range of optional security devices.

Lorient fire and smoke resistant letterplates:

provide protection against fire and smoke at all temperatures
when fitted to previously tested door sets;
provide protection against cold smoke in line with the
requirements of BS 9999: 2008 and Approved Document B
to the Building Regulations.

structured to be technically informative, and give practical advice.
Performance Door Design:
The Basics of Sound Reduction
Effective acoustic containment helps to
improve the quality of the built environment,
preserving privacy as well as excluding
unwanted noise. With changing regulations,
its essential to be informed of the relevant
requirements and the implications for

British Standards that relate
to acoustic performance;
test procedures and interpretation
of test reports;
effective design of door assemblies
for acoustic performance, including
