Lorient introduces RIBA-approved CPD concentrated on fire doors
30 September 2024
PART OF the ASSA ABLOY stable, Lorient – the manufacturer of high-performance sealing systems – has announced the launch of its new Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)-approved Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar titled ‘The Importance of Fire Doors and Intumescent Seals’.

Fire doors and intumescent seals are key components, of course, when it comes to preventing the spread of fire and smoke through a building, saving lives and protecting property. This latest CPD from Lorient is designed to provide architects, specifiers and building professionals alike with valuable insights into the specification and installation of these life-saving systems, thereby 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 their component parts
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
Information on real-world product solutions that meet fire safety requirements, providing practical advice for those professionals tasked with specifying fire-resistant products
With fire safety regulations becoming more stringent, Lorient’s CPD is a timely resource for practising professionals operating across the construction and building industries. It provides a clear understanding of fire doors, intumescent seals and the practical steps needed to ensure compliance and protection.
Empowerment for sector professionals
“We are thrilled to introduce this RIBA-approved CPD, which emphasises the crucial role of fire doors and intumescent seals in passive fire protection,” explained 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 available for learners.
Whether professionals require CPD certification or tailored presentations, Lorient offers accessible and practical learning opportunities.
