FIREPROOFING. What is it?<\/h2>\n\t

Fireproofing is the process by which a construction element is coated to increase its fire resistance capacity.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it is necessary to reinforce the safety of concrete or metal structures against potential fire risks. In the event of a fire, these elements must resist a time established by current regulations that will allow us to safely evacuate the building before a possible collapse.<\/p>\n\t

\n

What materials can I fireproof with? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

There are several products that allow us to clad structures and provide them with fire resistance. On the one hand we have \u00a0rock wool or permita-vermiculite projected mortars. Intumescent paints are also widely used. Finally, we can choose to cover beams or pillars with a fireproof plate in a similar way to drywall or plasterboard systems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t

\n

What thickness of fireproof mortar do I need?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

They adapt to all types of surfaces Sometimes it is necessary to reinforce them with a metal rib mesh (preferably on wooden surfaces).<\/p>\n

The thickness varies between 2 and 5 cm and depends on the fire resistance required in the project. The mortar can be smoothed in although it always has a rough finish. Once dry it is possible to apply a paint to obtain a different colour finish. Do not hesitate to contact us to resolve any doubts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t

How do you measure the fire resistance of a material?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The fire resistance of a material (EI) is measured in minutes. In the European Union this scale is standardised as follows: 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 and 360. In the case of a load-bearing structural element, this is called the load-bearing capacity. For example: A load-bearing wall, beams, columns, slabs, etc. Therefore in our project we will see that the beams and columns must comply with, for example, an EI 90.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
