Iv been asked to spray a sports hall with bare steel and as im normally in the house painting i need to know if 2 or 3coats of a grey intumescent paint would be ample for building regs and if it will leave a good finish or is it just a base coat...tnx for any advice.
Thank you for your enquiry, in order for us to be able to advise on your project, please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- 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.)
- 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.
