Introduction to Different Fireproofing Methods

When we think about fireproofing, then we mainly think about structural steels. However, every structure is not made of steel, and thus different coating is used to improve the quality of fireproofing.  Coatings are applied in a spray form of a spray, however, fireproofing in Detroit use different options other than spray.  Here is the list of various methods & options regarding fireproofing but let’s discuss the spraying method first:
 Spray steel fireproofing
 The spray method has been used by the contractors most of the time they apply the coating. Only a required amount of paint is sprayed through the nozzle plus it paints an even layer in less time. The surface on which the paint is sprayed is fabric, steel, wood or different building materials. Sprays can be wet or dry, depends on the code requirements of the building. Even the mixture of humid & dry sprays varies a little as the different substance is used in both of them.

Different Fireproofing Methods

Intumescent coating
 Well, steel surface is an idol surface for applying this coating.  The thickness of the layer is capable of expanding over 100 times and offer world class fire resistivity.  They have created a buffer between the steel and fire. Along with superior quality protection, it improves the appearance of steel by offering aesthetic look to the steel.  Its texture is just like paint, but multiple layers are applied to work better and give it the appropriate amount of thickness.  The fireproofing coatings in Detroit loves this coat when it comes to steel structures.
Rigid board: fireproofing
 As by name, you can understand that the coating is in the severe form. In other words, steel & beams are installed along with the rigid board. An important thing about this board is that it offers acoustic & thermal control and fulfills fireproofing requirements. Along with these benefits, termites & pests can be monitored with this board and save roof from damage. Boards of different thickness are applied according to the requirement of UL. Even humidity and moisture is tolerated by this board and even work well in rainy seasons.
Flexible blanket system
Sheets of flexible nature have been used as a fireproofing material. The method is eco-friendly and non-toxic as it does not involve any chemical or toxins. It has been a practical way, cost –effective and best when it comes to safety.  However, with a limited number of manufacturers, the product is not available easily. One can even try the alternatives of this method as they are equally good as the soft blanket. Taking about Fireproof Coatings Detroit, the sheets are removable and can be used in any area.
Aerated concrete: autoclave
 The blocks of concrete use top block fire plus block it for a longer time.  Concrete is best when you need fire resistance which lasts for hours. It has been poured between steel and flanges, and a steel web is attached to give support. It is cheap, durable and best hygienic as it only involves concrete.
 The above methods are excellent when you don’t want to go for the spraying one.  Even fireproofing in Detroit is expert in it also.
