Fireproofing and Intumescent Coatings
At Ascent, we specialize in providing top-tier fireproofing and intumescent coatings solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Our mission is to ensure that your building complies with fire safety regulations while offering enhanced structural integrity and protection from fire hazards. With years of experience in the construction industry, we are committed to delivering comprehensive fire protection services that meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Why Fireproofing is Important
Fireproofing is essential to protect a building’s structural elements from the damaging effects of fire. When exposed to extreme heat, materials like steel can lose their strength, leading to catastrophic structural failure. Fireproofing serves as a protective layer, reducing the rate at which materials heat up during a fire, giving occupants more time to evacuate and allowing firefighters to control the situation.
Spray-Applied Fire Proofing
We offer spray-applied fireproofing systems to protect structural steel, concrete, and other critical building elements. This method is efficient for both new construction and retrofitting projects, providing up to several hours of fire resistance. Our spray fireproofing solutions include both cementitious and mineral fiber-based products, tailored to your specific project needs.
Firestopping
Firestopping involves sealing penetrations in walls, floors, and ceilings, such as those made by pipes, cables, or ducts, to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. Our team installs firestopping systems that meet all regulatory standards, ensuring your building is secure and fire-resistant at every point of vulnerability.
Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings are a specialized form of fireproofing that expands when exposed to heat, forming a protective char that insulates the underlying material. This method is particularly popular for projects where aesthetics are important, as intumescent coatings offer a clean and smooth finish. These coatings are ideal for structural steel, wood, and concrete in commercial and residential spaces, where both fire resistance and visual appeal are important.
Thermal Barriers
For buildings that use spray polyurethane foam (SPF) for insulation, it’s crucial to apply a thermal barrier to protect it from fire exposure. We provide thermal barriers that meet code requirements and protect foam insulation from potential fire hazards.
Commercial Buildings
Fireproofing is vital for commercial spaces such as office buildings, shopping malls, and high-rise complexes. We provide customized solutions for complex commercial environments.
Industrial Facilities
Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and refineries require heavy-duty fireproofing to protect against potential fire hazards. Our team delivers robust fire protection solutions that adhere to the rigorous safety standards of industrial operations.
Healthcare & Education
Hospitals, schools, and other public institutions must prioritize fire safety to protect vulnerable populations. We offer comprehensive fireproofing services to ensure compliance with safety regulations for these facilities.
Residential Buildings
