Intumescent fireproofing contractors
The extreme heat from a fire can pose a serious threat to the structural integrity of any building – particularly for load-bearing elements such as steel beams. Operating as intumescent painting contractors, we provide intumescent paint for steel to help protect your structure against fire, giving time for evacuation and the possibility to save the building itself.
At Fire Industry Specialists (FIS) Ltd, we apply a water or solvent-based thin film of intumescent coating. This can give from 30 to 120 minutes fire protection for your structural steelwork, while still providing the same clean, durable, and attractive finish you would get with paint.
Intumescent coatings are one method of protecting steelwork from the effects of extreme heat; our guide to structural steel fire protection explores the wider approaches available and why maintaining structural stability during a fire is so important.
At ambient temperatures, the spray or hand-applied systems remain stable in the event of a fire. The buildup of heat activates a chemical reaction, causing the intumescent coating to expand and therefore prevent a critical failure in the structure.
For a more detailed explanation of how these coatings work, their different applications and the factors that affect their performance, read our guide to fire protection paint.
