Fire Resistant Coatings

Fires can be catastrophic, both to your business and your personal life. Between 2015 and 2019, there were an average of over 100,000 commercial fires annually, with about 1,200 injuries, 95 deaths, and costing business owners over 2.4 billion dollars. At home, fire department responded to an average of 346,800 home structure fires annually, with 11,070 injuries, 2,620 deaths, and 7.3 billion in property damage. Not to mention the loss of priceless memories.

Fire-resistant coatings are becoming increasingly popular for both businesses and home owners for passive fire protection. They can be applied not only to new construction, but can also be applied during the renovation of existing construction. In addition to their protection against fires, they also help resist corrosion and weather.

We are certified in both intumescent and fire retardant coatings.

Intumescent Coatings

Intumescent coatings are sprayed on in a thin layer on most any building material. During a fire or when exposed to heat above 325°F, the coating swells and forms a thick layer of char that is similar to foam. This protect the building material from the effects of extreme heat.

After a fire, that expanded coating can be scraped off, the building material cleaned up, and the coating can be re-applied. Intumescent coatings are typically the most effective fire retardants and are used when 1, 2 or 3-hour time ratings are required.

These are water-based and have a low VOC content, meaning they are low in volatile organic compounds, which are harmful to the environment and to humans.

Fire Retardant Coatings

Fire retardant paint is now required for an increasingly high number of new home builds in the state of Colorado. Please check the building code in your area to be certain you are protected. These coatings are able to be used on a variety of building materials. During a fire, this special paint undergoes a chemical transformation, turning it into a hard shell that makes it difficult for flames to break through.

These fire retardant coatings are water-based, non-toxic, and have a low VOC content, meeting strict national and state standards for VOC and air quality. They have been thoroughly tested and provide fire protection that complies with commercial building code safety standards.
