FIRESTOPPING
When penetration are created for building services, within a fire rated floor, wall or roof assembly it becomes critical to seal these penetrations to a rating equivalent to the fire resistance rating of the assembly. This design approach will assist in confining a fire to its origin, thereby giving the building's suppression system or firefighters a better chance to control it before the entire structure becomes involved.
All firestopping applications are designed to meet CAN/ULC-S115-05 Standard Tests for Firestop Systems.
FIREPROOFING

Gypsum or Portland cement based products are a single component, spray applied fire resistive plaster that is sprayed applied during the application process. Low cost alternative. This standard durability product is ideal for fireproofing interior locations that are concealed from view. Roof beams, decks, floor beams, mechanical or plenum areas and parking garages. Applied in multiple passes to build required thickness to meet fire-rating and UL Designs.
INTUMESCENT
COATINGS
Intumescent paints provides architects the ability to design steel structures that can be decorative and aesthetically pleasing. It can be top coated to match its surroundings and allows steel to be left exposed to view while providing the required fire resistance rating.
