Spray Fireproofing Systems for Commercial Buildings in Columbus, OH

Providing Superior Fireproofing Solutions Since 1982

Fires can wreak havoc in mere seconds. Because of this, it’s pertinent that commercial buildings stay protected with proper fireproofing methods. Spray fireproofing systems dramatically enhance safety efforts and meet building code and insurance requirements.

Spray fireproofing is a passive system, unlike sprinklers, which are active systems. It’s the most commonly used passive fireproofing system for commercial buildings. As the name suggests, it’s applied as a spray that directly coats a building’s structure.

Spray fireproofing comes in three types: cementitious, intumescent and sprayed fiber. Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing offers dependable spray fireproofing services for Columbus businesses, and we’ve worked diligently to provide top-notch services since 1982.

Intumescent Spray Fireproofing

Intumescent spray fireproofing is a popular choice among business owners for attaining a fire rating on exposed steel structures. This method comes in solvent or water-based formulas that are more aesthetically pleasing, making them a great choice for exposed interior and exterior applications.

This method offers up to three-hour ratings on beams and columns. Intumescent spray fireproofing can be applied to entryways, awnings, verandas, atriums, gymnasiums, meeting halls and parking garages.

Sprayed Fiber Fireproofing Systems

Sprayed fiber fireproofing systems come in mineral wool fiber or fiberglass fibers mixed with Portland cement or gypsum-based formulations that work hard to coat steel beams, steel columns, structural concrete, wall surfaces and more.

Due to its fiber content, sprayed fiber fireproofing has air-sealing capabilities. It also offers heightened thermal insulation, which increases heat flow resistance and lowers heating and cooling costs. This system can also absorb sound and reduce entryway spaces for pests, so it’s ideal for filling in small cracks and hard-to-reach gaps.

Cementitious Fireproofing for Commercial Properties

Cementitious fireproofing is made from a mix of cement or gypsum and other aggregate-like materials such as sand and comes in low-, medium- and high-density forms. This fireproofing system is ultra-durable and strong like concrete, yet it’s still light enough to spray into place. It adds extreme heat resistance to steel structures like beams and columns.

Though strong, cementitious fireproofing can still crack when expanded, and it’s porous, which may lead to moisture buildup. It must be used indoors where there’s not much exposure to moisture. This makes it useful for high-rises, museums, parking structures, and similar constructions.
