Hi I’m looking to paint a steel beam to make fire resistant for 60mins. Internal beam on a load bearing wall in a new build. Can you advise what paint would be required Thanks


Thank you for the enquiry, please provide the information below to [email protected] so we can assist with a specification. 

- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)

- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)

- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)

- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)

- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)

- Structural Steel Design Code (i.e. EuroCode, BS5950, BS476; Part 21, etc.)

- Building type (i.e. office, domestic, storage, etc.)

- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)

- Application on site or in shop

Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
