Intumescent paint is rapidly becoming the preferred method for protecting structural steel during construction in Southend-On-Sea. It offers quick application, cost efficiency, and up to 120 minutes of fire protection. Applied using an airless spray pump, the dry film thickness (DFT) is precisely measured and recorded on Test Inspection Sheets to ensure accurate loadings for various beam and column sizes.

EA Fire Protection partners closely with SHERWIN-WILLIAMS, leveraging their expert technical team to deliver top-tier intumescent paint applications. Our meticulous approach includes:

  • 1. Issuing a Certificate of Conformity upon project completion
  • 2. Verifying loadings with a calibrated Elcometer
  • 3. Offering solutions like board encasement for structural steel
