Astragal Door Seals
Astragal seals are specially designed to close the gap between double doors, providing critical benefits in acoustic sealing, smoke control, energy efficiency, and privacy. These seals are essential in applications requiring high acoustic performance, such as cinemas, theatres, meeting rooms, recording studios, and libraries.
For fire-rated door assemblies, astragal seals are available in models tested to AS1530.4 and certified under AS1905.1, making them suitable for use in smoke and fire compartments in commercial offices, hotels, and education facilities. These seals come in both surface-mounted and rebated profiles and are compatible with a variety of door constructions including timber, aluminium, and steel.
In residential retrofits, astragal seals are ideal for soundproofing adjoining rooms or converting garages into studios or home offices. Buy Astragal Door Seals online from our shop today!
Installation Guidance: For rebated astragal seals, precise morticing is required along the meeting edge of one door leaf. Ensure the seal is continuous across the full height for consistent performance. Surface-mounted options can be applied using mechanical fasteners or high-bond adhesives.
Door Bottom Seals
Door bottom seals are essential components for sealing the bottom gap of doors, preventing infiltration of air, dust, noise, smoke, insects, and even light. At John Barnes Group, we stock a full range of fixed and automatic drop seals, including models suitable for sliding, swing, and pivot doors.
Automatic drop seals are particularly valued in commercial offices, hospitals, and educational institutions for their ability to lower when the door is closed and retract when open—ideal for maintaining carpet and floor clearance while still providing a complete seal.
These seals are often specified in energy-efficient buildings to reduce heating and cooling loss through doorways, and are critical in smoke door assemblies under AS1905.1. Our range includes models suitable for retrofit installation, new builds, and heritage applications. Buy Door Bottom Seals online from our online shop today!
Installation Guidance: Automatic seals should be morticed into the bottom rail or face-fixed, depending on the door design. Ensure the plunger or actuator aligns with the door frame to trigger the drop mechanism.
Drip Strips and Rain Guard Door Seals
Drip strips and rain guards play a vital role in protecting external doors from water ingress. Installed above the door leaf, they deflect rain away from the door and threshold area, protecting interiors from water damage and reducing maintenance costs.
These components are essential in regions with high rainfall such as Sydney, Brisbane, and coastal areas, and are frequently used in aged care facilities, schools, and public housing developments to maintain dry, safe entrances.
John Barnes Group supplies anodised aluminium models with concealed fixings and UV-stable finishes, designed to blend with architectural facades while delivering reliable performance. Buy Drip Strips and Rain Gaurd Door Seals online from our shop today!
Installation Guidance: Install above the top of the door frame or on the bottom of the door leaf depending on the model. Positioning should allow water to drip away from the building envelope.
Finger Jamb Door Seals
Finger jamb seals are designed to prevent finger-trapping injuries by sealing the hinge side of doors. Commonly used in childcare centres, schools, aged care homes, and hospitals, these seals provide a cushioning barrier that protects users—especially children and the elderly—from harm.
Available in clear or black finishes, they blend well with door and frame finishes while providing vital safety functionality. Many models in our range are compliant with fire safety and smoke containment requirements under AS1530.4 and AS1905.1. Buy Finger Jamb Door Seals online from our shop today!
Installation Guidance: Typically fixed to the frame and door edge with screws or adhesive. Ensure that the seal stretches the full height of the door for effective protection.
Perimeter Door Seals
Perimeter seals are installed around the sides and head of the door frame to form a continuous barrier against air leakage, smoke, light, and sound. They are crucial in constructing compliant acoustic and fire door assemblies in line with AS1905.1 and AS1530.4.
These seals are widely specified in apartment entry doors, hotel rooms, commercial offices, and buildings requiring high-performing acoustic isolation such as studios and broadcast facilities. Available in adhesive, surface-fixed, and rebated models, our perimeter seals are compatible with both timber and metal door frames. Buy Perimeter Seals online from our shop today!
Installation Guidance: Rebated perimeter seals require routing into the frame for flush installation. Surface-mounted versions provide easier retrofit capability. Ensure there are no gaps or misalignments.
Threshold Ramps and Plate Door Seals
Threshold ramps and plates serve a dual function—creating smooth transitions across doorways and supporting environmental sealing. They are especially important in projects seeking compliance with AS1428.1 and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) standards for accessibility.
John Barnes Group offers heavy-duty extruded aluminium ramps, tread-plate thresholds, and low-profile sealing plates, suitable for retail stores, public buildings, hospitals, and high-traffic commercial premises.
These components are available with integral sealing grooves, anti-slip surfaces, and gradient options to facilitate safe wheelchair access. Buy Threshold Ramps and Plates online from our shop today!
Installation Guidance: Fixed with countersunk fasteners into the subfloor or concrete slab. For watertight installations, seal the underside with silicone bead or gasket tape.
