How It Works

Timbercoat Insulating Basecoat expands in a fire to create a resilient insulating barrier.

Dualcoat Smoke and Flame Retardant emits a safe fire-damping vapour in a fire to control flame spread and suppress smoke.

Dualcoat SFR’s polyurethane hardened acrylic “cross-links” during the drying process to form a smoother, harder, more cleanable surface than typical decorative paints.
