MAP Fire-rated letterplates are fitted with an intumescent liner around the telescopic sleeve section of the letterplate. In the event of a fire the intumescent liner expands to seal the letterbox aperture and retains the fire integrity of the door. Fire-rated versions are available in 'Post Port' letterplate assemblies.
