Intumescent Coatings

Central Painting is a certified Intumescent coating applicator for commercial and industrial facilities across Canada.

Intumescent Coatings

Intumescent coatings are fireproofing materials applied to structural steel to provide a specified fire-resistance rating up to two hours.

When exposed to high heat, these coatings react and expand, forming an insulating layer that prevents the underlying steel from reaching critical temperatures. They are applied in controlled thicknesses to meet engineered fire protection requirements for different steel components.

This protective system helps maintain structural integrity during a fire, allowing more time for evacuation and emergency response.

The Importance of Intumescent Coatings

Brand Standard

Provides a clean, uniform finish that aligns with architectural and client expectations.
Allows exposed steel to maintain a high-end appearance while still meeting fire-rating requirements.

Safety

Expands under heat to create an insulating barrier that delays steel from reaching critical failure temperatures.
Supports 1-2 hour fire-resistance ratings, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.

Durability

Protects structural steel from heat damage that can weaken or deform the material during a fire.
When properly applied to specified thicknesses, provides long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

SANDBLASTING AND SURFACE PREPARATION

Sandblasting is a powerful surface preparation method used to clean, smooth, or shape a surface by blasting it with abrasive materials under high pressure. By stripping surfaces down to their bare, clean state, sandblasting provides the perfect foundation for coatings, sealants, or paint to adhere more effectively and last longer.

Once a decision was made to coat intumescent paint on the exposed structural steel Central Painting was able to organize their work forces and mobilize on site within days of being awarded the project and was able to work flexible hours and schedules to get the project completed as quickly as possible. The coating application was successful, the client was pleased at the outcome and the work was completed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend and use Central Painting on future projects, it was a pleasure working with you.

Central Painting were a valuable member of our team that successfully completed a very challenging project for the University of Regina College Ave. Campus Revitalization. The project included renovation and restoration of the original 106-year-old College Building and a 50,000 sq. ft addition that incorporated the original front façade of the four-story Conservatory Building. We had a very challenging schedule and their site foreman worked with us to make sure we completed the required areas in a timely manner despite the constant sequencing challenges.
