Intumescent Fireproofing
Structis paints intumescent fireproofing material over susceptible areas to prevent combustion. By adding a fireproof layer to your project, this ensures that your building withstands more and needs fewer repairs if an emergency occurs.
Cementitious Fireproofing
By applying spray-on cementitious fireproofing, our Structis team protects your building from possible fire dangers. This layer of fireproofing allows your structure to withstand high temperatures and minimizes fire damage.
Firestop Fireproofing
Our Structis team excels at installing firestopping barriers near doorways and adjoining walls to keep possible fires from spreading to other areas of your building.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ – Fireproofing
Both fireproofing and firestopping have the end result of reducing costly fire damage, but there’s a difference between the application process and where they are applied.
Fireproofing includes spraying or painting fire resistant coating over more flammable areas to increase the longevity of a building as well as its longevity in a fire.
Firestopping is focused on the entrances, exits, and adjoining walls to prevent a fire from spreading to other rooms in a building.
Fireproofing works by increasing the fire resistance of materials in a building to ensure that the structure holds up to higher temperatures for longer if a fire ever occurs. Laborers add fire resistant material in the form of a spray or paint over susceptible surfaces to prevent extreme damage from happening if a fire emergency ensues. If an emergency were to happen, this protective layer slows down the flames by withstanding higher temperatures for longer.
It only takes our Structis team around 4-5 days for most projects, but it could take a little more or less time depending on the size of your project. After the initial fireproof material application, it takes around 2-4 weeks to fully cure.
By adding fire resistant materials to a structure, it allows there to be less damage in the case of an emergency while also improving the building’s value. Fire resistant materials are a huge benefit to future buyers, lower insurance premiums, and protect your assets better. While it’s an extra step, it’s always worth the investment to keep your risk low.
There’s a slight cost to fireproofing as there is with any new product addition and service, but it’s well worth the price if you want to protect your assets and increase the value of your building. While it doesn’t take long to complete a fireproofing project, it’s important to note that you need to be patient for the time it takes to cure.
