Spray-Fiber Fireproofing Services
Steel structures are fire-resistant and durable but can collapse after several hours of exposure to extreme heat without fireproofing protection.
Alpha Insulation & Waterproofing provides spray-fireproofing services as a passive fire protection system that gives first responders more time to evacuate personnel from commercial facilities and prevents building collapse in the event of a fire.
One of the most effective spray-applied fireproofing methods is spray-fiber fireproofing. Our dedicated industry experts can help you determine which spray-applied fireproofing system is best for your facility based on local building code requirements and your budget.

Spray-Fiber Fireproofing for Commercial & Industrial Buildings
Spray-fiber fireproofing is made of a dry mix of mineral wool fiber and a cement- or gypsum-based binder. It’s lighter than cementitious fireproofing, which reduces the load on steel columns, beams and other structural elements.
Spray-fiber fireproofing provides a strong and durable fireproofing layer once it cures. It’s often chosen for commercial and industrial buildings because it is highly effective and quick to install.

Benefits of Spray Fireproofing
Spray fireproofing systems provide additional benefits beyond their use as effective passive fire protection:
- They act as thermal insulation: Spray fireproofing systems are applied as foam, so they can help buildings reduce their monthly energy bills by sealing small cracks.
- They absorb sound: The materials used in spray fireproofing systems are lightweight but can be used to improve acoustics. This is particularly helpful in large industrial manufacturing facilities.
- They reduce entry points for pests: The seal spray fireproofing systems create fills in gaps that insects and rodents often use to enter buildings.
