I have bought the two-part system Thermoguard timbercoat and flame retardant topcoat. I have applied them myself following the instructions received by Rawlins technical team. When applying for the fire certificate, I have been asked for the name of the contractor that applied the paint. Would that be a problem if I applied it myself instead of a painter?

When filling out this question on the certificate application you will be fine to put your own details if you applied the system yourself.

How many square metres does a 25kg tin cover. Thanks

This product must be used as part of a system to a achieve level of fire protection on a suitable substrate. As such the coverage rate and number of coats required can vary. Please provide the information below to technical@rawlinspaints.com and we can assist with a specification. GENERAL TIMBER SURFACES - Size of surface area to paint - Timber thickness - Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.) - Type of timber (i.e. pine, mdf, plywood, etc.) - Type of Timber surface (i.e. T&G, feather edge / shiplap cladding, solid panels / sheets, etc.) - Internal or external - Use (i.e. floor, wall cladding, ceiling, etc.) - Clear or coloured coating required? - Bare or previously coated?

Hi Does this need a special primer or top coat? Or is it a one coat system?

This is one part of a two part system and does require the appropriate topcoat. Please see Thermoguard Timbercoat BS Class 1/0 & EN Class B System or Thermoguard Timbercoat 30 & 60 Minute System .

Can Themaguard paints be over painted with Farrow And Ball or other speciality paint?

Ideally Thermoguard want the topcoat of their system to remain the final finish as they can be produced in a wide range of finishes and colours (including colour matches). However, in certain instances if required Thermoguard do allow their systems to be over painted with a conventional decorative topcoat over their FULL system. Thermoguard would want their complete system applying, including their recommended topcoat in the nearest colour available and then (with their approval on your specific project) a like for like conventional topcoat can be applied - i.e. if you have used Thermoguard Smoke & Flame Retardant Dualcoat Eggshell as your finish then you use an acrylic eggshell as a finish in the conventional decorative topcoat. Prior approval must be sought for this from our Technical Department before proceeding.

Can this product be used as a topcoat over pre painted pressurised decking already painted with sadolin decking paint

No, Thermoguard Timbercoat is cannot be used on floor surfaces which will receive traffic.

Can Thermoguard be applied over Dulux Weathershield paint If so are there any special precautions required

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour
