What are Fire Rated Coatings

Fire rated coatings, also known as intumescent coatings, are a type of protective paint applied to steel surfaces. In the event of a fire, these coatings expand and form an insulating barrier that significantly slows down the transfer of heat to the steel beneath. 

This added layer of protection can delay structural failure, providing up to 2 hours of crucial fire resistance. These coatings are designed for both interior and exterior use, ensuring versatile protection across different environments

Benefits of Fire Rated Coatings

Up to 2 Hours of Fire Protection

Our fire rated coatings are designed to give structural steel members critical protection in fire scenarios, ensuring buildings and structures can maintain integrity for longer, giving occupants more time to evacuate.

Intumescent Technology

Intumescent coatings are a sophisticated solution for fire protection. Upon exposure to heat, the coating expands and forms a thick, protective char that shields steel from rising temperatures. This technology is suitable for both interior and exterior applications when paired with approved topcoats.

Minimal Environmental Impact

With both water-based and epoxy-based options available, our fire rated coatings provide robust protection with a low environmental impact. They are easy to clean up and cause minimal disruption to your business or residence during application.

 

Custom Colour Options

Unlike many traditional fire protection methods, our intumescent coatings can deliver a paint-quality finish in your choice of colour. This allows you to maintain aesthetic continuity while ensuring your structure is fire protected.

 

Minimal Disruption

Our process ensures that there is minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations, as fire rated coatings allow you to retain existing surfaces without the need for complete replacement with fire-rated linings. This makes the process quicker and more efficient while maintaining the highest standards of fire safety.
