Fire Stopping NSW board and intumescent paints are 2 important means of protecting any structure from fire.
Application of fire stopping spray can help in protecting the integrity of the main structural steel column as well as beams for about 4 hours on the basis of the thickness as well as type used. For instance, the finished hard board which is made with reinforced glass boards or calcium silicate, insulates steel, making sure that the limiting temperature of the metal does not exceed. Since the finished board looks good aesthetically it is an additional bonus for the homeowners. However, similar kid of fire protection is needed at a location where the aesthetics do not have an important role. Mineral fibre sheet is considered to be light in weight and is also very easy to be installed. It is also a waterproof substitute.
Intumescent paints
By comparison, intumescent pain expands when it comes in contact with heat for forming layers of insulating foam that offer protection to the structure from fire for approximately 120 minutes. It may be applied on the interior as well as exterior of any building. This kind of fire protection could also be applied just like paint by either brushing, spraying or rolling up completely exposed steel. It has additional benefits of offering a decorative look and also that it’s very easy to be applied to the complex details.
There are different intumescent coatings that could be applied on the exposed timber panel walls, beams, ceilings as well as columns. It not just protects timber from heat but it also prevents the fire from spreading further.
