Structural Fire Protection

With the continuous advancement in material technology and availability of new products for the fire protection of structural steelwork Thameside Fire Stopping maintain a constant awareness of the necessity to keep in the forefront of the market, and as such are licensed or approved installers of materials covering the complete spectrum of products.

These include: –

• Sprayed vermiculite cements.
• Sprayed mineral wools
• Rigid vermiculite & silica based boards
• Plasterboards
• Mineral fibre boards
• Metal clad casings
• Intumescent paints

Most projects are not suited to the selection of just one type of material. We therefore offer suggestions to designers for the most technically suitable and cost effective solution to achieve the required fire rating of a steel frame. This often involves use of multiple materials in selected areas, dependent upon fire rating, aesthetic requirements, environmental conditions, or abrasion resistance.
