Protect The Integrity Of Your Building
Fireproofing does not actually stop a building from burning. It will help structures maintain their integrity for a longer duration, giving people time to safely escape the building. Spray on fireproofing is the most commonly used material to help improve the structural integrity of buildings. This spray application helps ensure a uniform coating so that all parts of the structure are covered without gaps. Spray on fireproofing is the quickest and most inexpensive method of protecting steel structures. Spray on fireproofing is divided into categories based on physical properties. We are capable of fireproofing small, medium, and large projects with our variety of pumps and equipment.
Cementitious or wet mix fireproofing is mixed with water and pumped under pressure through hoses to a nozzle where air is introduced. The wet slurry is then broadcast onto structural steel surfaces. The inherent fire resistive mechanism of products is the release of water, in the form of steam, when exposed to elevated temperatures. Products are available in standard, medium and high density for use indoors and on building exteriors.
Spray on fireproofing is classified according to density and usage. There are three types.
Standard Density Fireproofing
This style of fireproofing is mainly used on interior structural areas that are not exposed to view. It is cost effective and helps boost the structural integrity of load bearing structures.
Medium Density Fireproofing
Medium density fireproofing is designed to stand up to a certain amount of abuse. It is frequently used on exposed surfaces in places where people will be coming into contact with it on a regular basis, such as equipment/mechanical rooms.
High Density Fireproofing
This material is often used on exterior surfaces, or areas that are otherwise exposed to weather and other environmental conditions. High density fireproofing can stand up to a lot of abuse, ensuring that your structure’s fireproofing is not compromised. This is often used in high traffic areas, like parking garages and warehouses.
