Although the required structural fire protection for builders is documented in either the architectural or engineering documentation, the requirements are not always outlined clearly. It is important to understand how intumescent coatings behave and the components involved to ensure the fire protection is carried out accurately.
Structural fire protection is an essential aspect of building safety, and ensuring that the required fire protection is accurately carried out is critical to protecting building occupants in the event of a fire. However, understanding the requirements for structural fire protection can be complex, as the necessary information is not always clearly outlined in the architectural or engineering documentation. This is where Permax can provide valuable assistance.
