Lorient, a leading manufacturer of high-performance sealing systems for doors, is proud to announce its exclusive UK distribution of the Planet range of drop seals. This strategic partnership reinforces Lorient’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, high-quality sealing solutions to the architectural and construction industries.
Planet, a trusted brand within ASSA ABLOY, has been at the forefront of drop seal innovation for over 70 years. Recognised globally for its exceptional quality, sustainable manufacturing practices, and continuous product development, Planet sets the industry benchmark in drop seal technology.
Automatic drop seals are fitted to the bottom of doors typically concealed within a grooved rebate, though face-fixed options are also available. The seal drops automatically on closing to form a secure seal with the floor, and lifts on opening to allow smooth door operation. Depending on the product, drop seals can offer fire, smoke, acoustic, weather, and thermal protection.

The Planet range offers precision-engineered solutions for a wide variety of door types, including timber, metal, glass, exterior, pivot, folding, and sliding doors – delivering reliable, high-performance sealing for virtually any application.
Nationwide access from Lorien
As the exclusive UK distributor, Lorient will provide nationwide access to the Planet product portfolio of drop seals, backed by its expert customer support and technical service team.
Kerry Hicks, Sealing Systems Director at Lorient, says: “We’re thrilled to be the exclusive UK distributor for Planet drop seals. This partnership perfectly complements our mission to deliver market-leading sealing solutions. Customers can now access Planet’s trusted technology with the confidence of Lorient’s technical expertise and service excellence.”
