Keeping Buildings Safe: Our Role in Fire Protection to SteelWork and Fire Door Surveys
Fire safety is not something to overlook. Our work focuses on protecting buildings from the ground up, especially regarding Fire protection to steel work , and carrying out accurate fire door surveys . These areas are vital for preventing fire spread and protecting people and property. Why Fire Protection to Steel Work Matters Steel is known for its strength but can quickly lose its load-bearing ability under extreme heat. When a fire breaks out, temperatures can rise to a point where unprotected steel starts to bend or collapse. This is where our work plays a crucial role. We apply intumescent coatings—either by hand or spray—to structural steel. These coatings react to heat by expanding and forming an insulating layer, which helps delay the steel from reaching critical failure temperatures. Depending on the project's needs, this method can provide up to two hours of fire resistance. We also install cementitious spray and boarded Fire protection to steel work systems for steel st...
