Your Fireproofing Questions Answered

What is intumescent fireproofing, and how does it work?

Intumescent fireproofing is a protective coating that expands when exposed to heat, forming an insulating layer that protects steel structures from fire. The expansion creates a barrier that slows down the heating of the steel, preventing structural failure during a fire.

How long does the intumescent fireproofing application take?

The timeline for application depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, the process takes a few days to a week for most residential or commercial buildings, but we always ensure a thorough and efficient process.

Is intumescent fireproofing suitable for outdoor use?

Can intumescent fireproofing be customized to match the look of the building?

Yes, intumescent coatings can be painted or finished in various colors to match the aesthetic of your building. This allows you to maintain the architectural design while adding fire protection.

How long does intumescent fireproofing last?

Intumescent fireproofing is designed for long-term protection. With proper maintenance and periodic inspections, it can last the lifespan of the building. If required, reapplication can be done to extend its effectiveness.
