Your Trusted Partner for Construction Safety Solutions
Dixon International Group has been at the forefront of specialised construction product innovation for five decades. Founded in 1975, we pioneered the development of aluminium draught seals in the 1960s and introduced the world's first fire and smoke seals for fire doors in the 1970s, coining the term 'intumescent'. Our technical expertise has delivered bespoke solutions for iconic projects including the Thames Barrier, English Heritage properties and the Channel Tunnel. As an award-winning manufacturer with four Millennium Product Awards from the Design Council, we maintain rigorous quality standards while continuously advancing passive fire protection technology. Our current R&D initiatives focus on enhancing fire safety glazing, improving acoustic protection systems and developing energy-efficient sealing solutions.With a legacy of innovation and a commitment to environmental responsibility through initiatives like our 104 solar panel installation, we aim to reduce global fire risks while minimising ecological impact. Our technical team combines deep industry knowledge with practical experience to deliver tailored solutions that address specific construction challenges. We prioritise transparency in all client interactions and maintain rigorous data protection standards as outlined in our privacy policies. Our long-standing reputation in the construction sector is built on consistent innovation, proven expertise and an unwavering commitment to safety and sustainability.

Services
Intumescent Fire Seals
Our pioneering intumescent fire seals expand when exposed to heat, forming protective barriers in building structures. Developed through four decades of technical innovation, these seals provide critical fire resistance in doors and partitions. Independent testing confirms their effectiveness in containing flames and smoke during fire incidents.
Acoustic Seals
Custom-engineered acoustic seals reduce noise transmission through building joints and partitions. Our solutions combine sound dampening materials with structural integrity for commercial environments. Projects benefit from improved noise control while maintaining compliance with building regulations.
Fire Glazing
Advanced fire glazing systems protect openings while maintaining visibility and light transmission. Our tested solutions integrate with structural fire protection plans to delay fire spread. Current R&D aims to enhance thermal resistance of glass assemblies for longer fire protection.
Passive Fire Protection
We develop comprehensive passive fire protection systems that prevent uncontrolled fire spread in structures. Our engineered solutions include compartmentation elements and fire-stopping materials that maintain structural integrity during incidents. These systems form critical components of building safety designs.
Structural Fire Safety
Our structural fire safety expertise addresses protection of load-bearing elements in buildings. We supply fireproofing materials and systems that maintain structural integrity during fire exposure. Current developments focus on improving performance of fire-resistant coatings and structural bearings.
