Intumescent & Fire Retardant Coatings

Fire Protection That Works - Without Compromising the Finish

We provide professional application of intumescent and fire retardant coatings for steel, timber, and other surfaces helping you meet fire safety requirements without affecting the appearance of your building. Whether you're working on a new build or upgrading an existing structure, our coatings are applied to meet certified fire ratings while keeping a clean, professional finish.

What Are Intumescent and Fire Retardant Coatings?

Intumescent coatings are applied to structural elements like steel. In the event of a fire, the coating expands to form a thick, insulating layer, which slows down heat transfer and protects the material beneath. These coatings are often rated to provide 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes of fire resistance.

Fire retardant coatings are typically used on combustible materials such as timber. They work by slowing ignition and reducing flame spread, helping to contain fires and protect escape routes.

Our Approach

We work closely with clients, contractors, and building inspectors to make sure the right systems are used and applied correctly. Here’s how we handle each project:

  • Assessment – We review the fire rating needed and the material being coated.
  • Surface Prep – All surfaces are cleaned, repaired and primed as required.
  • Application – Coatings are applied by our trained team using the correct thickness for the required rating.
  • Topcoat (if needed) – Where aesthetics matter, we can apply a matching finish coat.
  • Certification – We supply fire rating documentation and test data for building control.

Where We Use Fire Coatings

We apply intumescent and fire retardant coatings across a wide range of commercial, industrial, and residential settings, including:

  • Structural steel frames and supports
  • Fire doors and timber panelling
  • Plasterboard walls and ceilings
  • Heritage joinery and exposed features
  • Escape routes, stairwells, and corridors

We can apply coatings on-site or off-site, depending on the project requirements and accessibility.
