It is good practice to key the surface while wet using waterproof abrasive paper or pads if the surface is new or you are applying a water-based finish on top of solvent-based or glossy paint, or on a very hard and impermeable surface.

While both formulas have their benefits and disadvantages, the general fireproofing industry often recommends intumescent paint for the majority of common applications. Cementitious paints are not the best for aesthetic appeal and can add weight, while intumescent paints blend into the visuals of the project. After treatment of the substrate with Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment, the appearance of the timber should be virtually unchanged. It is available as white only or it can be tinted to any solid, opaque colour including BS4800, BS381C, NCS and RAL colour ranges. A solvent-based product to apply over HW01F – no need for UC.

Fireguard E-84: Known for its ability to minimize flame spread, smoke production, and structural damage, this coating is also an intumescent paint. It is quite cost-effective with an average cost of 75 cents per square foot! Also, this paint can be applied to a variety of surfaces with rolling, brushing, or spraying methods. Once you have applied your covering of Timbercoat (or similar product) you will then need to apply two coats of Flame Retardant paint. On interior surfaces, not subjected to wear or damage, S92/FR/P can be used without a protective topcoat. The product dries to a satin finish. S92/FR/P is a reasonably robust coating, however all surfaces subject to heavy wear or damage (such as commercial wall panelling and all flooring situations) will require the use of a protective topcoat. As well as our fire-retardant systems and basecoats, we also offer clear fire retardant fluid treatments for timber that soak into the wood. These give all the safety benefits without altering the outer appearance of the wood surfaces.

There are really two main types of fire proof paint; Fire Retardant Paints and Fire Resistant Paint also known as Intumescent Paint. Fire Retardant varnishes and sprays are also available. A water-based product to apply over HW01, HW02E, and Product 92 range. FINISH: SATIN/GLOSS. For INTERNAL use. Tested on a wide range of wooden doors, achieving 60 minutes integrity and either 30 or 60-minute fire protection and insulation according to BS476 Part22. The two main types of fire paint are fire retardant paints and fire-resistant paint. Fire resistant paint is also known as intumescent paint.

Paints to fire-protect wood / timber frames & structures, are used to slow down the spread of fire in a building which aids people’s escape. In a fire, it is critical that the structural timber frame and cladding internally and externally of the building is protected correctly so that the timbers do not burn / char away leading to premature failure. Next, apply one or two coats of Fire Varnish. Again this can be applied using by brush, spray or roller – at a rate of 10 square metres per litre of fire varnish per coat. You can choose whether you want to use Gloss, Matt or Stain, depending on the final finish you are after.

About Intumescent Paint for Wood Derivatives & Timber

The details outlined below can be applied to any and all cast iron or steel products whether they have been previously painted or whether they are unpainted but cannot be applied to any doors.

UL 263– This method rating tests and certifies the fire protection of structural steel. Often called the “default standard for North America,” this method is key to testing the structural steelwork fire protection before a project is finished. FlameOFF’s Fire Barrier Paint provides an eco-friendly fire resistant coating that’s 100% ASTM E-119 and E-84 compliant. You can apply Q/VFR coatings just as you would any other wood finish, using a brush, roller or spray. However, these paints and coatings are typically not appropriate for critical infrastructure like steel. For most projects that involve structural steel or other critical infrastructure, you’ll need an ASTM E-119-certified fire resistant paint.Once you have prepared your door for the above items now clean the surface and then rub down any previous coating to give a good, grease and oil free ‘key’ to accept the new coating more readily. Protect externally treated surfaces from exposure to weather for 48 hours immediately after application ES/VFR Clear Varnish Fire Retardant Coating can be applied with a brush, roller or spray and has a theoretical coverage rate of 5m² per litre. After applying the first coating, you must allow 2-6 hours before applying a second coat, drying times will be dependent upon temperature and humidity. The following points cover what you should look for and ensure when selecting paints: Test Standards
