Premium Raven Seals for Modern Australian Projects

Raven has built a strong reputation in Australia for high-performance door sealing systems that integrate seamlessly with modern architectural door hardware. Whether you’re pairing a new external front door set with Barben or Lockwood handles, upgrading commercial access control with Dormakaba hardware, or finishing a contemporary fit-out with Zanda, Raven seals help you achieve the right balance of performance, aesthetics and compliance.

Within the Raven range you’ll find solutions for acoustic and smoke control, draught and weather protection, and selected options suitable for use on fire-rated door assemblies. Threshold plates, perimeter seals and door bottom seals work together to reduce air leakage, help stabilise internal temperatures and minimise dust and pest ingress – key considerations in the harsh and varied climates found across Queensland, New South Wales and the rest of Australia.

Acoustic and Smoke Seals

For projects where noise and smoke control are a priority – such as apartments, hotels, offices and healthcare facilities – Raven acoustic and smoke seals are a practical, proven solution. Perimeter seals and drop seals are designed to close the gaps around and under the door leaf, helping to reduce airborne sound transmission and limit smoke spread when correctly specified as part of a suitable door assembly. They’re ideal for internal corridor doors, plant rooms, cinema rooms and any space where privacy and comfort are important.

Door Bottom and Automatic Drop Seals

Raven door bottom seals are available in simple fixed types as well as premium automatic “drop” seals that lower as the door closes and lift as it opens. This clever design helps maintain a tight seal without dragging on the floor surface, making them suitable for both residential and commercial applications. Use them on external swing doors to improve weather protection, or combine them with perimeter seals to enhance acoustic performance on internal doors. Many models are suitable for retrofit installation on existing doors, making upgrades straightforward during refurbishments.

Perimeter Seals for Frames and Meeting Stiles

Perimeter seals are fitted to the door frame (and, where required, to the meeting stiles of double doors) to close the gap around the door leaf. Raven offers a wide selection of foam, blade and batwing-style seals designed to suit different gap sizes, door constructions and performance needs. They’re a smart choice for both internal and external doors, helping to reduce draughts, light, dust and sound transfer. These seals pair neatly with popular hardware finishes from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda to keep the overall look clean and cohesive.

Threshold Plates and Ramps

Raven threshold plates provide a durable, low-profile transition between floor surfaces while helping to form an effective seal with door bottom and drop seals. Commonly used on aluminium and timber framed doors in commercial entries, schools, healthcare and accessible housing, they are designed to stand up to frequent foot and trolley traffic. Selected threshold designs are suitable for use in accessible paths of travel when installed in accordance with relevant building codes and standards, making them an important part of inclusive design in projects across Brisbane, Queensland and New South Wales.

 

Choosing the Right Raven Seal

The right Raven product will depend on the door type, environment and performance level you are aiming for. For external front doors exposed to wind and rain, combining a high-quality door bottom seal with an appropriate threshold plate and perimeter seals will help keep water, draughts and insects out. For internal doors where privacy and comfort are key, acoustic and smoke seals are often the best choice. In multi-residential or commercial buildings, consider seals designed for use on fire-rated assemblies where your door and frame system requires it, and always check the product information against your project specifications.

You should also consider floor finishes, door swing direction, and how often the door will be used. Automatic drop seals are a popular option for high-use doors, as they offer excellent sealing performance with minimal wear on floor surfaces. For sliding doors, look for Raven seals designed specifically for top-hung or bottom-rolling systems. If you’re coordinating with architectural door hardware from brands like Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood or Zanda, choosing complementary finishes such as matte black, stainless steel or anodised aluminium will help maintain a consistent, premium look.

 

Applications Across Residential and Commercial Projects

Raven door seals are used in a wide variety of settings across Australia. In residential homes and apartments, they help improve comfort by reducing draughts, dampening noise between rooms and boosting the efficiency of heating and cooling systems. In coastal regions of Queensland and New South Wales, weather seals and thresholds play a key role in limiting sand, dust and salt-laden air from entering the building.

In commercial and industrial environments, Raven products are often specified for offices, hospitals, aged care facilities, schools, hotels, retail, warehouses and transport hubs. Here, the focus may be on acoustic separation, smoke and fire containment, energy management and accessibility. Whether you’re working on a single door replacement or a large-scale fit-out, buying Raven door seals online from John Barnes Group makes it easy to source consistent, reliable products for the entire project.

 

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

Many Raven seals are designed for straightforward installation using basic tools, making them suitable for both trades and experienced DIY users. Some models are face-fixed to the door or frame, while others may require routing or morticing for a more streamlined finish. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and, where applicable, ensure installation methods align with the requirements of any fire-rated or acoustic door assemblies being used on the project.

Ongoing maintenance is typically simple. Regularly check that the seals continue to make proper contact with the door or threshold, and gently clean away dust and debris that may build up over time. If a seal shows excessive wear, tearing or permanent deformation, it’s generally quick and cost-effective to replace it. Keeping your seals in good condition helps preserve energy efficiency, comfort and safety outcomes for the life of the building.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What types of Raven door seals are available?

The Raven range includes perimeter seals for door frames, door bottom and automatic drop seals, acoustic and smoke seals, threshold plates, ramps and selected intumescent products designed for use with suitable fire-rated door assemblies. This makes it easy to choose a complete sealing solution for both internal and external doors in residential and commercial projects.

Are Raven seals suitable for fire-rated doors?

Selected Raven seals are suitable for use as part of tested and approved fire-rated door assemblies. Always refer to the individual product information and your door manufacturer’s documentation to ensure compatibility, and follow any installation requirements that apply. Where fire performance is critical, it’s important to use components that are specified and tested together as a system.

Can I retrofit Raven seals to existing doors?

Yes, many Raven seals are designed for retrofit applications on existing doors. Face-fixed perimeter seals, door bottom seals and certain threshold plates can often be installed with minimal modification to the door or frame. Automatic drop seals may require some routing or morticing, but are still commonly retrofitted during refurbishments to improve acoustic performance, weather protection and energy efficiency.

Do Raven seals help with noise reduction?

Acoustic-rated Raven seals are specifically designed to help reduce sound transfer by sealing the gaps around and under the door leaf. When paired with a suitable door core and frame, they can significantly improve acoustic privacy between rooms, apartments or offices. They’re a popular choice in hotels, healthcare, education, commercial offices and high-density residential buildings.

What finishes are available to match my door hardware?

Raven products are available in a variety of finishes, including anodised aluminium tones (such as clear or black), stainless-steel-look options and colours that complement common hardware finishes like matte black, stainless steel and brass. This makes it easy to coordinate seals and thresholds with door hardware from Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood, Zanda and other architectural brands throughout your project.

Are Raven seals suitable for coastal and high-humidity environments?

Raven seals are widely used in coastal and high-humidity areas across Queensland and New South Wales. When selecting products for these environments, look for durable materials and finishes that are better suited to exposure, and ensure they are installed correctly to minimise moisture ingress. Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain performance in more demanding conditions.

Can I install Raven seals myself?

Many straightforward applications, such as basic perimeter and door bottom seals, can be installed by competent DIY users following the manufacturer’s instructions. For more complex installations – particularly those involving fire-rated, smoke-rated or acoustic door assemblies – it’s recommended to engage qualified trades who understand the relevant building code and performance requirements.

Will Raven seals work with my existing Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood or Zanda hardware?

Raven seals are designed to integrate with a wide variety of door types and hardware combinations. In most cases they can be used alongside premium hardware from brands such as Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda without issue. When planning your project, consider door clearances, swing direction, floor finishes and latch or closer types to ensure a smooth, reliable operation once the seals are installed.
