Intumescent Paint Spraying

INTRODUCTION:

In the UK’s construction and property maintenance sectors, fire protection is an essential component of building safety regulations.

Intumescent paint spraying is a highly effective passive fire protection method that helps safeguard structural steel, timber, and other substrates from the devastating effects of fire.

As a UK-based intumescent paint spraying specialist, we provide professional application services compliant with British Standards (BS 476 & EN 13381), Building Regulations (Approved Document B), and insurance requirements.

Our team works across commercial, industrial, and residential projects, delivering certified fire protection that blends safety with aesthetics. Whether it's new construction, refurbishment, or compliance upgrades, our intumescent coatings are carefully specified and expertly applied to ensure maximum fire resistance while maintaining the visual integrity of the structure.

BENEFITS:

Enhanced Fire Protection: Intumescent paint expands when exposed to heat, forming a thick, insulating char that delays structural failure by reducing heat transfer to the substrate. This provides vital extra time for evacuation and emergency response.Compliance with UK RegulationsFully compliant with UK building regulations (Approved Document B), British Standards (BS 476 Part 21), and European standards, ensuring legal and insurance conformity.

Aesthetic Finish: Unlike bulky fireproofing materials, intumescent coatings allow for a smooth, decorative finish, preserving the original appearance of exposed steel, timber, or other surfaces.

Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to alternative fireproofing systems, intumescent spraying often requires less labour and structural modification, reducing overall project costs.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of substrates including steel, timber, plasterboard, and concrete, across commercial, industrial, and residential applications.

Durability: Modern formulations provide long-lasting protection with high resistance to moisture, chemicals, and environmental conditions, ensuring longevity with minimal maintenance.

Minimal Disruption: Quick application with fast curing times allows projects to stay on schedule, even in occupied buildings or tight construction timelines.

Third-Party Certification: Many intumescent systems are third-party tested and certified, offering clients and stakeholders peace of mind regarding the quality and performance of the fire protection system.
