> Product Description
The Astro eco telescopic letterbox system range is specifically designed to increase the safety and security of occupants against fire and is particularly suited to multiple occupancy residential buildings.
The Astro eco telescopic letterbox is a stylish, ABS framed, telescopic letterbox with metal flaps fitted with a high performance intumescent liner around the telescopic sleeve section.
The letterbox flaps open to 180°.
Acoustic and thermal performance features include brush pile draught excluders, integral sound dampening bumpers and a fully sealed backplate.
During a fire the intumescent liner rapidly expands and seals off the letterbox opening, preventing the spread of fire and smoke whilst maintaining the integrity of the fire door assembly.
Available in 10” Standard (272mm x 70mm) and 12” Commercial (306mm x 70mm) sizes.
Cut out required is 241mm x 57mm for standard size letterbox and 274mm x 57mm for commercial size letterbox.
Both 10" and 12" sizes have a black ABS frame, except the SS which has a silver frame. The letterboxes are available in Satin Aluminium, Chrome Plated, Stainless Steel, Polished Silver, Polished Brass or Polished Gold letter plate flaps.
Smoke Testing was conducted to BS EN 1634-3: 2004 smoke control tests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows and elements of building hardware – Part 3: Smoke control test for door and shutter assemblies.
For acoustic damping requirements greater than 32dB Rw please refer to our other telescopic letterbox systems.
