Intumescent Paint Spraying London
Project Overview:
As part of a commercial warehouse refurbishment in London, our client required a 60-minute fire protection system to be applied to the structural steelwork. The coating system needed to meet the project's fire rating requirements while maintaining the programme schedule and ensuring a professional finish. The client was looking for an experienced contractor capable of specifying and applying the correct intumescent coating system from start to finish.
The Challenge of Intumescent Paint Spraying London
Fire protection coatings require careful specification and application to achieve the required performance. The steelwork needed to be prepared correctly, and the coating system applied to the specified thickness to ensure compliance with the 60-minute fire rating.
Key challenges included:
- Achieving a 60-minute fire resistance rating
- Selecting the correct intumescent coating system
- Applying multiple coats to the required specification
- Completing the work efficiently within the refurbishment programme
Our Solution:
Following a detailed site survey, we specified and applied a complete three-coat intumescent system designed to meet the project requirements.
- Survey & Specification:
We carried out a full assessment of the steelwork to determine the correct coating system and application requirements. - Surface Preparation:
The steelwork was prepared prior to coating to ensure optimum adhesion and long-term performance. - Three-Coat Application:
Using our airless spray equipment, we applied the complete system consisting of a tie-coat primer, intumescent coating, and protective topcoat.
This process ensured the steelwork achieved the required fire rating while providing a durable finish suitable for the environment.
