Fire protection of structural steelwork is vital for maintaining the integrity of a building during a fire. This passive fire protection measure is designed to insulate steel structures from the extreme temperatures of a fire, preventing structural collapse and allowing for safe evacuation.
Understanding Intumescent Coatings: A key player in passive fire control, intumescent paint expands significantly when exposed to high temperatures, creating a protective char layer that insulates steel structures.
Application Types: Can be applied on-site or off-site, with options for both water-based for interior, dry conditions, and solvent-based for broader environmental resilience.
Advantages: Suitable for complex shapes, offers up to 120 minutes of fire resistance, and enables easy integration of post-protection services.
Aesthetic Integration: Achievable through both solvent and water-based coatings, allowing for decorative finishes as part of fireproofing measures.
Board Varieties: Choose from lightweight boards for cost-efficiency in non-aesthetic areas or heavyweight boards for areas where appearance matters.
Application Flexibility: Suitable for both exposed and concealed areas, with the ability to apply on unpainted steelwork.
Manufacturing Assurance: Factory-made to guaranteed thicknesses, providing consistent fire protection performance.
Qualified Application: Our installers are trained in firestopping design and implementation, ensuring compliance with the latest Building Control Regulations.
