Fire Protection Paint Coatings contractor Herne Bay

Our company provides specialist fire protective paint coating services in Herne Bay.

Intumescent paint provides a similar appearance similar to a paint finish while also producing a low odour making it ideal for confined areas. Fire retardant coatings expand when exposed to high heat levels, giving up to 240 minutes of protection; this will reduce any immediate impact of fire spreading and heat damage. The increase of temperature causes a chemical reaction; the intumescent paint expands to many times its original thickness, which provides insulating foam to protect the substrates.

Fire retardant paint coatings on public buildings are an essential health and safety requirement. The tragedy at Grenfell Tower Block in London has highlighted the importance of professional fireproof painting.

Our company provides a range of fireproof cladding and internal building coatings and paints certified for use on surfaces required by law in Herne Bay.

The coatings cover a wide range of applications, from wood surfaces, structural steel, plaster ceilings, and concrete surfaces to fibreglass materials.

We offer a wide range of top coatings options along with a 20 or 30-year guarantee. This water-based coating comes with a 30, 45, 60,120,240 minute protection time applied to universal beams, hollow sections, columns, and cellular beam designs.

Fire Protection for Steel

National fire regulations state that buildings must have the ability to contain a fire within compartment sections for rated times, to allow the evacuation of all occupants.

Intumescent paint can be applied over existing paint but cannot be applied over rust; no stripping back is necessary before the paint is applied. Our fire retardant paint comes in a 30, 45, 60,120,240 minute protection coating.

Fire Protection for Wood

Intumescent paint can be applied over most paints and varnishes, eliminating the need for stripping. Fireproof paint is especially useful in refurbishment projects, often allowing existing architectural features to remain in place. They are Class 0 and 1 Classifications, and SBI: B/s1/d0 has been achieved on bamboo, hardwood, softwood, veneer, MDF and melamine boards.
