Intumescent Coatings

Cladding Spraying Limited is proud to offer expert nationwide protection for building structures against the devastating effects of fire. Our specialised intumescent coating service is designed to provide essential fire resistance to various structural supports, including steel, timber, and concrete. With our advanced coatings, we ensure that your building can withstand fire exposure for vital durations of up to 240 minutes, thus safeguarding lives and property.

Intumescent coatings play a crucial role in controlling fire hazards. When exposed to extreme heat, these coatings expand significantly, increasing in thickness by up to 100 times. This expansion creates a protective barrier that insulates the structural elements, helping to maintain their integrity during a fire. This is especially important for ensuring compliance with the latest building regulations, which mandate strict fire safety standards for commercial and residential properties alike.

At Cladding Spraying Limited, we offer our intumescent coating application services both on-site and off-site. Our team of skilled professionals is equipped to handle projects of any scale and complexity, ensuring that your structural supports receive the highest level of protection. We operate from multiple regional bases located in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Portsmouth, allowing us to respond quickly and efficiently to client needs across the UK.

Our intumescent coatings are highly versatile and can be tailored to meet specific fire protection requirements. We provide options that offer varying durations of fire resistance, including 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes. This flexibility ensures that we can accommodate the unique needs of each client, whether they are working on new constructions, renovations, or refurbishments.

In terms of coating varieties, we offer water-based, solvent-based, and epoxy-based intumescent coatings. Water-based coatings are known for being environmentally friendly, producing less odour during application, and generally providing the most cost-effective solution. However, it is worth noting that these coatings can be less tolerant to high humidity levels and may require longer curing times in such environments.

Solvent-based intumescent coatings are designed for semi-exposed environments, making them suitable for diverse weather conditions and temperature variations. They dry more rapidly than water-based options and result in a smooth finish, making them ideal for applications where appearance and performance are paramount.

Epoxy-based intumescent coatings are exceptionally robust and suited for use in harsh conditions, such as offshore marine environments and petroleum-chemical industries. These coatings consist of a two-part formula that creates a dense, thick film, offering outstanding resistance to corrosion and thermal stress.

At Cladding Spraying Limited, we are dedicated to ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality in fire protection. Contact us today to discuss your project and ensure that your building meets all necessary fire safety regulations with our reliable intumescent coating solutions.
