Hi Is there a paint or system that can be used externally on exposed structural steel posts to achieve 30 minutes fire protection? Building control require this to be durable, client needs this to be decorative. Hope you can help. Regards Gregory
Yes, we do have products that can be used for this application, we will need the information below to assist with a specification.
Please answer the questions and send to [email protected]
- 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.
