Expert Intumescent Paint Spraying in Hemel Hempstead
When our client needed a reliable partner to enhance fire safety during their commercial refurbishment, they turned to Spray Chroma. This case study shares how we approached the challenge of applying a 60-minute intumescent paint system to structural steelwork, ensuring a perfect balance of safety, quality, and care for the surrounding finishes.
The Brief: Protecting Structures with Precision
Our client’s project in Hemel Hempstead involved refurbishing a commercial unit where fire safety was a critical priority. They needed a 60-minute intumescent paint system applied to the portal frame to comply with fire regulations, safeguarding the structural integrity of the building in the event of a fire.
The project required three key stages:
- Primer Coat: Preparing the steel surface for maximum adhesion.
- Intumescent Coat: Adding the fire-resistant layer essential for safety.
- Top Coat: Sealing and protecting the system while delivering an attractive finish.
Adding to the challenge, the surrounding finishes were being retained, so protecting these areas from overspray was non-negotiable. The client needed the job done right, on time, and with minimal disruption—and that’s where we came in.
Our Solution: Tailored Expertise for Every Step
At Spray Chroma, we believe no two projects are alike. To deliver the best results, we began with a detailed site survey, inspecting the portal frame and gathering the necessary specifications for the intumescent paint system.
Here’s how we tackled the project:
- Selecting the Right System: Working closely with our trusted suppliers, we chose a product tailored to the client’s needs, offering both fire protection and a choice of colours to match the aesthetic.
- Precision Application: Using advanced airless spray technology, our team applied the system in carefully measured stages, achieving a flawless finish and consistent film thickness across all surfaces.
- Protecting Surroundings: Ensuring cleanliness is one of our strengths. We masked and protected all surrounding surfaces to safeguard them from overspray, leaving the site pristine.
At the end of the project, we provided comprehensive documentation, including film thickness readings and product data, giving the client full confidence in the quality and compliance of our work.
