Intumescent coatings are activated by heat and, in the event of a fire, the coating will expand and become denser, protecting your structure from flames and heat for up to two hours. Fire can cause structural steel to warp and soften, threatening building integrity, but with properly applied intumescent coating, our specialists can add passive fire protection to the structure of your buildings. This offers vital protection to prevent building collapse and give extra time for evacuation, as well as making a safer environment for the fire service on entering the building. Intumescent coating must be applied by an expert with careful monitoring of conditions, including humidity and temperature for full effectiveness. Call CRS to book your appointment and protect your premises in the event of fire.
