Hi i am having an exposed steel beam in my kitchen. The structural engineer has suggested that i need a decorative aspect (after the workshop applied primer for durability). He has suggested an alkyd finish 60um. Do you have anything for the decorative please? the kitchen is matt black so we would prefer either matt black or matt anthracite what would you recommend please? Regards Emma
As this is a structural steel we would recommend to consult your local building control officer as a level of fire protection may also be required for the paint system applied to the steel.
Please send the information below 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.
If no level of fire protection is required you could consider Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original.
This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS or BS colours in a satin or gloss finish.
In ready mixed black it is available in a matt finish also.
