STRUCTURAL STEEL PROTECTION
Structural steel fire protection is a vital element of passive fire protection, ensuring the long-term strength, stability, and integrity of buildings. Properly applied intumescent coatings and fire protection systems help prevent steel from weakening during high temperatures, maintaining structural performance in the event of a fire. By implementing effective and compliant fire protection measures, we can significantly reduce the risk of structural failure, protecting lives, property, and investments while meeting UK fire safety and building regulation standards.

WHAT MAKES INTUMESCENT PAINT ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE FIRE PROTECTION SOLUTIONS?
Intumescent coatings are one of the most cost-effective and efficient methods of providing fire protection to structural steelwork, delivering protection durations of 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes in accordance with UK fire safety standards. When exposed to high temperatures, these advanced fire-resistant paints expand to form a durable, insulating char layer that helps maintain the steel’s load-bearing capacity and structural integrity during a fire.
There are two main types of intumescent paints: water-based coatings, ideal for internal environments, and solvent-based coatings, typically used for external applications. This flexibility allows Elite Fire Stop to deliver tailored passive fire protection solutions across a wide range of sectors and building types.
To maintain your building’s aesthetic appeal, decorative topcoats are available in a full range of RAL colours, ensuring seamless integration of fire protection with your chosen design and finish.
Following application, our trained operatives carry out detailed Dry Film Thickness (DFT) readings to confirm that the correct paint loadings have been achieved. This quality assurance process guarantees full compliance with UK fire protection standards and manufacturer specifications.
Choose Elite Fire Stop as your trusted partner for intumescent coating and structural steel fire protection. Contact our team today to discuss your project requirements and discover how we can help you safeguard your property, assets, and people through compliant, certified fire protection solutions.
