What Is Fireproofing for Structural Steel?
Structural steel can begin to lose strength rapidly when exposed to high temperatures, risking collapse within minutes during a fire. Fireproofing is the process of applying protective materials—such as intumescent coatings or cementitious sprays—that insulate the steel, slowing heat transfer and maintaining load-bearing capacity for critical time windows.
This added protection:
- Helps maintain structural integrity
- Buys time for safe evacuation and emergency response
- Aids in meeting local building codes and insurance requirements
Our Fireproofing Systems
CLT Coatings offers both intumescent and cementitious fireproofing systems, tailored to the needs of your facility.
Intumescent Coatings
Thin-film coatings that expand when exposed to heat, forming a protective char barrier. Ideal for projects that require:
- A clean, architectural-grade finish
- Fire resistance with minimal added weight
- UL-listed and ASTM E119-compliant systems
- Interior spaces like office buildings, schools, and mixed-use developments
Cementitious Fireproofing
Spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRMs) designed for large-scale, industrial, and infrastructure projects. These are ideal for:
- Warehouses, factories, and energy facilities
- Cost-effective, high-volume coverage
- Robust thermal insulation under extreme fire conditions
- Meeting 1- to 4-hour fire resistance ratings
