Bowsers are experts in vermiculite fire spray installation, a key solution in enhancing the fire resistance of buildings across various sectors. Vermiculite fire spray is a lightweight coating applied to structural steel elements, ductwork, and other critical infrastructure to significantly increase fire protection. This service is essential for ensuring a building’s structural integrity during a fire, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely. With Bowsers, you benefit from tailored applications that meet stringent Australian fire safety standards, reinforcing your commitment to safety and compliance.
The application of vermiculite fire spray is critical in maintaining a building’s stability in the event of a fire by protecting structural components from high temperatures. This protection is vital for preventing the collapse of steel structures, ensuring the safety of occupants, and minimising property damage. Vermiculite fire spray acts as an insulative layer, delaying the temperature rise in steel and other materials, thus contributing to the overall fire resistance level (FRL) of the building.
Vermiculite fire spray is made from expanded vermiculite and other inorganic materials, forming a protective coating that significantly enhances fire resistance. When mixed with water and applied to surfaces, it acts as an effective insulator, slowing down heat transfer to the coated elements. In the event of a fire, this allows structural components to retain their load-bearing capacities longer, helping to preserve the building’s integrity until emergency services can control the fire.
Our approach combines meticulous planning and installation by experienced applicators. Bowsers’ team of specialists assess each project to determine the optimal thickness and appropriate application method, ensuring comprehensive coverage. We adhere to Australian Standards and industry best practices, guaranteeing not only the effectiveness of our installations but ensure their compliance with regulatory requirements.
Vermiculite fire spray can be applied to structural steel and duct work.
Depending upon the size of the structural steel section, Fire Resistance Levels of up to 4 hours can be achieved. With duct work, up to 2 hours Fire Resistance Levels can be achieved.
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure the integrity of the fire protection layer, with maintenance required only if damage or deterioration is detected.
