Intumescent Protection Products

Sorry, We Don't Sell Lawnmowers...

Fire door projects can get complicated. Getting it wrong can be very costly. That is why you need to deal with people who know stuff.

Fire Essentials Ltd is a dedicated supplier of intumescent protection products with over 20 years experience of working in the fire door sector. From working with the teams that first manufactured intumescent protection pads to, in 2018, becoming a direct to market supplier.

The reason we sell these products is to bridge the gaps in information and awareness between the manufacturers and the people actually repairing and fitting the fire doors.

So, if you're looking for a LAWNMOWER sorry, we only sell fire door products.
