why choose thin film intumescents
Thin film intumescents have a number of advantages over other methods of fire rating. Some of these include
Installation
- Relative to other materials, thin film intumescents are easy to apply on or off site
- Application of thin film intumescent is considerably lighter than other methods such as fire spray or cladding, thus allowing considerations to be made with regards to steel used
- Our thin film intumescents are water based. This means we can apply on-site with minimal interference to other trades, allowing timelines to be met.
- We can achieve a range of FRL's from 30-120 minutes
Durability
- Thin film intumescents are resistant to moisture and abrasion , increasing their longevity
- Furthemore, they can be top coated with a range of compatible products, further protecting the surface
Application
- Due to the low volume per lineal meter, thin film intumescents are quick to apply in comparison to alternative methods
- They provide excellent coverage over most surface irregularities in structural steel elements
- Only qualified applicators can apply thin-film intumescents, giving you piece of mind that the work has been done correctly
- Remedial are fully qualified (by independent bodies) in the application
Aesthetics
- Thin film intumescents provide the ideal system for design and aesthetic finishes as desired by architects.
- Where design criteria requires exposed structural steel elements, thin film intumscents provide the perfect answer as they can be top coated to provide a versatile range of aesthetic finishes including metallic finishes and high gloss industrial coatings
Maintenance
- Thin Film Intumescents are extremely easy to keep clean as opposed to many other fire protection options
- Post installation, repairs are relatively easy and can be done with a minimum of fuss and mess
