Key Benefits of Kilargo Sealing Solutions

Enhanced Fire & Smoke Containment

Kilargo intumescent fire and smoke seals are designed to expand when exposed to heat, helping to restrict the spread of flames and hot smoke around door leaves and frames. In a fire event, correctly specified and installed seals are an important part of a complete door system, working alongside locks, closers, latches and hinges from brands such as Dormakaba and Lockwood to help maintain the integrity of fire doors. For many projects in Brisbane and across Queensland, Kilargo seals form a core part of passive fire protection strategies in corridors, stairwells and plant areas.

Improved Acoustic Performance

In modern buildings – from apartments and hotels to schools and healthcare facilities – noise control is increasingly important. Selected Kilargo acoustic and combined seals help reduce sound transfer through door assemblies, supporting better privacy and comfort. When paired with quality architectural door hardware and door furniture from Barben or Zanda, these solutions support a premium, contemporary feel while delivering measurable acoustic benefits.

Weather, Energy & Comfort

Kilargo also offers seals designed to reduce draughts, dust, insects and water ingress around external doors. These products can contribute to improved thermal performance and energy efficiency, which is especially valuable in Australia’s varied climate – from coastal New South Wales to the warmer conditions around Brisbane and regional Queensland. By sealing gaps around front doors, balcony doors and service entries, Kilargo helps keep conditioned air inside and the elements outside.

 

Where Kilargo Products Are Used

Residential Renovations & New Builds

Homeowners, builders and carpenters use Kilargo seals on front doors, internal corridor doors, garage entries and unit entry doors where added fire, smoke or acoustic performance is required. Kilargo products can often be retrofitted to existing doors (subject to door construction and compliance requirements), making them a practical upgrade for established homes and apartment refurbishments.

Commercial, Industrial & Multi-Residential Projects

In multi-storey offices, hotels, aged care facilities, hospitals and education buildings, Kilargo seals are frequently specified as part of fire door and smoke door assemblies. They’re used on high-traffic doors, service risers, plant rooms and egress routes to help maintain safe conditions during an emergency. When combined with commercial-grade locks and exit hardware from Dormakaba and Lockwood, Kilargo sealing systems form part of a robust, integrated door solution.

Public & Government Buildings

For government facilities and public infrastructure across Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide, Kilargo’s focus on performance and reliability makes it a popular choice. Its range of fire, smoke and acoustic seals supports building designers and asset owners who need consistent, tested products that align with Australian standards and long-term maintenance plans.

 

Types of Kilargo Products Available Online

Intumescent Fire & Smoke Seals

These Kilargo products are designed for use around the perimeter of fire doors, meeting stiles and door bottoms. They are typically recessed or surface-mounted to the door or frame, providing protection against fire and smoke while allowing doors to operate normally in day-to-day use. Many options are suitable for use with a wide range of door constructions and can be matched with complementary door bottom seals to create a complete system.

Combined Fire, Smoke & Acoustic Door Seals

For projects that require both fire/smoke performance and noise reduction, Kilargo offers combined seals with intumescent cores and flexible smoke/acoustic fins. These are ideal for unit entry doors, hotel rooms and intertenancy doors where occupant safety, quietness and comfort all matter. They work seamlessly alongside premium door hardware and front door furniture from Barben, Zanda, Dormakaba and Lockwood to achieve a cohesive look and feel.

Automatic Door Bottom & Threshold Seals

Kilargo automatic door bottom seals and threshold plates are used where there is a gap beneath the door leaf. These components help control sound, smoke, draughts and dust, particularly on external doors and corridor doors with uneven floors or mandatory clearances. They are commonly used with commercial entrance systems, fire doors and accessible doorways in both residential and commercial environments.

Weather & Energy Sealing Systems

Weather seals from Kilargo are designed to protect against wind-driven rain, draughts and external contaminants. These solutions are well suited to exposed front doors, balcony doors and external plant room entries around Brisbane’s coastal suburbs, regional Queensland and high-wind locations in New South Wales. Pairing Kilargo weather seals with quality external door hardware from Lockwood or Dormakaba helps ensure long-term performance in demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is Kilargo and what does it specialise in?

Kilargo is an Australian brand specialising in door sealing systems for fire, smoke, acoustic and weather control. Its range includes intumescent fire seals, smoke seals, automatic door bottom seals, perimeter seals and threshold plates designed for residential and commercial door assemblies. These products are used on front doors, internal doors and specialist fire/smoke doors to improve safety, comfort and building performance.

Can Kilargo seals be retrofitted to existing doors?

Many Kilargo seals are suitable for retrofit applications, particularly surface-mounted perimeter and door bottom seals that can be installed without replacing the entire door leaf. However, fire door and smoke door upgrades must always respect the door’s existing approvals and manufacturer recommendations. For critical doors in commercial buildings across Queensland, New South Wales and Australia-wide, we recommend consulting your door manufacturer or a qualified fire door inspector before modifying the assembly.

Are Kilargo products suitable for both residential and commercial use?

Yes. Kilargo sealing solutions are widely used across both residential and commercial environments. In homes and apartments, they are ideal for unit entry doors, front doors, balcony doors and garage entries. In commercial projects, they are commonly found on fire doors, smoke doors, corridor doors, plant rooms and acoustic doors in offices, schools, hospitals and hotels.

Do Kilargo seals work with Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda hardware?

Kilargo seals are designed to work with a wide variety of door hardware and door constructions. When specifying a complete door solution, Kilargo products can be combined with Barben, Dormakaba, Lockwood and Zanda hardware, provided that the overall door assembly – including the leaf, frame and hardware set – is compatible and suitable for its intended use. For fire- and smoke-rated doors, always refer to the door manufacturer’s approvals and guidelines.

How do I choose the right Kilargo seal for my door?

Start by confirming the door type (standard internal, front entry, external, fire door, smoke door or acoustic door), the required performance (fire, smoke, acoustic, weather or a combination) and the size of the gap you need to seal. From there, you can select an appropriate Kilargo perimeter seal, door bottom seal or threshold solution. If you’re unsure, contact John Barnes Group with details of your project in Brisbane, Queensland, New South Wales or elsewhere in Australia and we can help point you in the right direction.

Can I use Kilargo seals on external doors exposed to weather?

Yes, Kilargo offers products specifically designed for weather and energy sealing applications. These seals help control draughts, dust and water around external doors, including front doors and balcony doors. When selecting products for exposed locations, look for weather-resistant designs and pair them with suitable external-grade hardware from brands like Lockwood, Dormakaba, Barben or Zanda to ensure long-lasting performance.

How often should Kilargo seals be inspected or replaced?

Like all building components, door seals benefit from regular inspection. In busy commercial environments, it is good practice to check seals as part of routine maintenance, ensuring they are intact, undamaged and still providing effective contact around the door. Any cracked, worn or missing sections should be replaced promptly. For fire and smoke doors, inspections should follow your building’s maintenance policy and relevant regulatory requirements.

Do Kilargo seals come in different finishes or colours?

Many Kilargo products are available in a range of sizes and finishes to complement different door styles, materials and hardware finishes such as matte black, stainless steel or brass-toned door furniture. This makes it easier to integrate high-performance seals into modern and contemporary interiors without compromising on appearance.

Does John Barnes Group ship Kilargo products Australia-wide?

Yes. While we are proudly based in Brisbane and support many projects across Queensland and New South Wales, John Barnes Group can supply Kilargo products to customers right across Australia.
