Premium Intumescent Painting
Safeguard Structural Integrity
Service Overview
Our Intumescent Services Include:
- Fire Resistance Requirements: Application of specified intumescent coating systems to achieve the required FRL in accordance with approved project specifications.
- Surface Preparation & System Compatibility: Preparation and inspection of steel substrates, primers and existing coatings to ensure compatibility with the specified intumescent coating system.
- Precision Application: Expert coating of structural steel beams, columns, and exposed metalwork using spray, brush, or roller methods.
- DFT Measurement: Quality-control inspections using calibrated Dry Film Thickness (DFT) gauges to verify that the specified coating thickness has been achieved and documented.
- QA Documentation: Provision of application and quality-control records, including product and batch details, DFT inspection records and supporting documentation for project review and certification where required.

FAQ
Why is Intumescent Painting necessary?
It is critical for passive fire protection. The coating insulates steel from extreme heat, delaying structural failure and providing vital time for evacuation. It is often a mandatory requirement under the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
How is the fire rating (60/90/120 mins) determined?
The required Fire Resistance Level (FRL) is determined by the building’s design, height, and usage, usually specified by a structural engineer or fire consultant.
How do you verify the thickness of the paint?
We use calibrated DFT (Dry Film Thickness) gauges to measure the coating thickness at various stages, ensuring it meets the manufacturer’s specifications for the required fire rating.
Do you provide certification documents?
Yes. Upon completion, we provide a full handover pack including DFT measurement reports, product batch numbers, and a certificate of application to assist with your building certification.
Can you apply Intumescent paint over existing coatings?
Generally, no. The steel usually requires specific preparation and a compatible primer. We assess the existing surface to determine if it needs to be stripped back to bare metal.
Is it suitable for exterior steel?
Yes, but Intumescent coatings used outdoors or in humid environments require a specific protective topcoat to seal the fire-rated layer against moisture and weather.
What products do you use?
We only use fully certified, market-leading Intumescent products that comply with Australian Standards. We can provide data sheets and Certificates of Analysis (CoA) upon request.
