Intumescent Paint Contractors Manchester
Structural steel that needs fire protection? We apply intumescent coatings to columns, beams and connections across Manchester and Greater Manchester — priced from your steel schedule, drawings or a site survey.
Structural steel needs protecting — properly
Steel loses strength as it heats. Where a building’s fire strategy calls for the structural frame to be protected, an intumescent coating is one of the main ways to achieve it — a paint-like system that reacts and expands in a fire to insulate the steel and slow that loss of strength.
The right specification depends on the steel sections and the fire protection period required by the design. That is why we price from a steel schedule, drawings or a specification rather than guessing — so the coating that goes on matches what the building actually needs.

Intumescent paint is a fire protection coating for structural steel. In a fire it reacts and expands to insulate the steel, slowing the point at which it loses strength. Where a building’s fire strategy requires structural steel to be protected, an intumescent coating is one of the main ways to achieve it.
