Vermiculite spray is a tough, hard and highly stable passive fire protection coating applied to structural steel members by spray application. It can be also applied by troweling, when necessary. It consists of factory produced blend of exfoliated vermiculite, cementitious binders and rheological and mix dispersing agents supplied as a dry mix to which clean water is added on site. It does not respond to any form of expansion, foaming or chemical reaction to impart its fire protection properties.

​

Available in 2 grades:

• Internal Grade – robust, economic coating for internal use

• External Grade – tough coating for external use,  resistant to variety of climatic conditions

​

Application
Both grades are designed for installation by spray techniques. It can be applied to bare steel surfaces in the thickness of up to 30 mm at a time. The surface of the steel should be dry and free of dirt, oil, loose mill scale, flaking paint and loose rust.

​

Fire Performance

• As applied, both grades of spray are rated “Non-combustible” to BS476 Part 4:1970 and comply with performance requirements of “Class O” as defined in Building Regulations.

• Both grades have been fully tested on structural steel beams and columns for up to 4hours fire resistance in accordance with BS476 Part21: 1987.

• The Thickness of the fire protection material required for a given period of fire resistant is dependent upon the surface area of the steel member exposed to fire and its equivalent cross sectional area (Hp/A) value for the section. Detailed information on the required thickness for SLV is available upon request.  

 

Vermiculite is a lightweight, fire-resistant coating commonly applied to structural steel beams, columns, and ceiling surfaces in commercial buildings, factories, and industrial units — designed to slow heat transfer and preserve structural integrity during a fire.
Over time, this protective layer can crack, deteriorate, or become damaged due to reinstatement works, renovation activities, water seepage, general wear and tear, or mechanical impact. When left unaddressed, compromised fireproofing creates gaps in fire protection that put both occupants and the building at risk.
Our repair process begins with a thorough site assessment, followed by the careful removal of damaged material, proper surface preparation, and the precise reapplication of vermiculite coating to the correct thickness and coverage. Every completed repair is inspected to ensure full compliance with fire safety requirements.
Whether you require fireproofing reinstatement for an office, retail space, warehouse, or industrial facility, We provide reliable, compliant, and professionally executed solutions to restore your building's fire protection — safely and to the required standard.

​

Removal Of Loose/Damage Material

• Any compromised or deteriorated vermiculite sections are carefully stripped away to reveal a clean, stable base surface — ensuring the new fireproofing material achieves a strong and lasting bond.

​

Surface Preparation

• Prior to applying any new coating, all structural steel surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, loose debris is cleared away, and the substrate is properly conditioned for adhesion. This critical preparation step directly contributes to the long-term durability and performance of the finished coating.

​

Reapplication of Vermiculite Fireproofing Cement

• Fresh vermiculite-based fireproof coating is then applied across all affected areas, including structural steel beams, columns, and ceiling slab surfaces. Each application is carefully carried out to achieve the appropriate thickness and full coverage throughout.

​

Surface Finishing and Inspection

• Once the repair work is complete, every treated area undergoes a thorough inspection to verify proper coverage, adequate bonding, and consistent fireproof layer thickness across the surface. This final step ensures the structure's fire protection function is fully and reliably restored.

Intumescent fireproofing are thin film decoration coating designed for exposed applications where appearance is of primary importance.
Finished off with an approved top coat, these fireproofing products are increasingly seen as the solution to achieving fire resistance ratings for exposed structural steel.

Available in 2 types:

• Epoxy based Intumescent - suitable for exposed weathering conditions

• Solvent based Intumescent - economical coating for internal environment

​

Fire Performance

• Both type of Intumescent paint are tested to BS476 Part 21:1987 on structural steel beams & columns for up to 2hours fire resistance

• Both type of Intumescent paint are rated 'Class O' to BS476 Part 6 & 7:1970 compliance with the performance requirements of Building Regulation.
