Versatile Drop Seals from Planet
Planet drop seals can provide effective solutions for acoustic and smoke containment across a wide variety of door applications. Designed for use on timber, metal, PVC, and glass doors, these high-performance seals enhance comfort, safety, and energy efficiency – making them ideal for both commercial and residential environments.
At Lorient, we know flexibility matters. That’s why we’re highlighting a lesser-known feature of the Planet drop seal range: with a simple addition, many models can be configured for top-of-door installation – or even adapted for folding door systems.
These specialist options make Planet seals an ideal choice for more complex applications, helping specifiers meet demanding acoustic, smoke, or environmental performance requirements – without compromising on design.
Top-of-Door Installation
Most Planet drop seals can be installed at the head of the door, not just the bottom. This makes them particularly useful where enhanced perimeter sealing is required.
🛈 Tip: Look for the swing door (installation above) icon on our datasheets and product pages to confirm compatibility with your chosen model.
To specify a top-mounted configuration, simply add the following order code:
• PLA900915 (made to order – approx. ** lead time)
Sealing for Folding Doors
For folding or bi-fold doors, a specialised mutual release system is available. This allows drop seals to activate in tandem across door leaves, triggered by a discreet release knob – ensuring reliable sealing even in multi-leaf configurations.
🛈 Tip: Look for the folding door icon on our datasheets and product pages to identify compatible drop seals.
To specify this option, add:
• PLA900918 (made to order – approx. ** lead time).
As a Lorient customer, you gain access to Planet’s high-performance sealing systems – backed by our technical expertise, responsive support, and dependable supply chain. With over 70 years of drop seal innovation, Planet continues to set the standard for versatile, high-performance sealing solutions.
