INTUMESCENT FIRE PROTECTION
IN THE NORTH WEST OF ENGLAND
What is Intumescent Fireproofing?
Intumescent paints are used in buildings as a passive fire resistance measure, designed to protect a structure in the event of a fire. It does this by expanding and forming a protective layer when heated, creating an insulating barrier around the building. This insulating barrier helps to limit the spread of fire, smoke, and heat, providing additional protection to the structure and its contents. It can also help to reduce smoke damage and can even provide structural support during a fire incident. Our fire stopping solutions in Manchester and the surrounding locations offer benefits for commercial businesses including vastly improved safety, enhanced structural integrity, a reduction of fire hazards and exceptional fire protection.

How Does Our Intumescent Fire Protection Work?
If a steel framework is coated with Intumescent Paint, the paint will expand and solidify once temperatures reach around 250 degrees. This increases the steel's fire resistance time whilst the building is evacuated. The exact performance of intumescent products can vary, offering 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes of fire protection on structural steelwork in both internal and external areas. The rate of expansion for Intumescent Paint depends on its original thickness. Thin-film Intumescent coatings will expand at a rate of 50-1. This means that a 1mm coating will reach an estimated density of 50mm in the event of a fire, naturally preventing structural failure.
