SAFE MINIMUM THICKNESS OF WOOD

FOR 30 MINUTES FIRE RESISTANCE

Softwoods need to be at least 16mm thick and hardwoods 12mm thick, in order to withstand charring (without collapse) of 10mm (softwoods) or 6mm (hardwoods). Hardwoods, like Oak, burn slower than Softwoods, like Pine. These charring allowances leave 6mm of wood in reserve, to provide more time for escape, after the paint systems have expired. If the wood is less than these thicknesses it can be supplemented with additional panelling - we will be pleased to Quote for precision panels made to measure for your project.

Doors are special

Door Protection can be expensive, so sometimes it can be cheaper to buy factory built Fire Doors. For multiple doors and Historic Buildings, where doors must be saved, please give us a call to discuss your options. We will need exact details of the construction of each door and some photographs would help. Call us for your door Specification on 01626 331351.

A minimum of panel thickness of 16mm for softwoods and 12mm for hardwoods is required.

SAFE MINIMUM THICKNESS OF WOOD - to meet the 30 Minute Standard

Softwoods need to be at least 16mm thick and hardwoods 12mm thick, in order to withstand charring (without collapse) of 10mm (softwoods) or 6mm (hardwoods). Hardwoods, like Oak, burn slower than Softwoods, like Pine. These charring allowances leave 6mm of wood in reserve, to provide more time for escape, after the paint systems have expired. If the wood is less than these thicknesses it can be supplemented with additional panelling or stick on veneer - we will be pleased to Quote for precision panels made to measure for your project.

When using Ultra Door Protection for upgrading standard doors to 30 minute fire doors, it must be used as part of an overall program to include intumescent fire/smoke seal and lock, hinge and door closer Intumescent protection card, or as Specified by your Building Inspector.

As a general guide, uprating is likely to include the following;

1. Preparation of the doors to take intumescent fire/smoke seals and lock, hinge and door closer intumescent protection cards. We can offer surface mounting Intumescent Seal Strips, which are self adhesive and mount inside the door frame. This type of seal enables you to avoid removing the door to cut slots.

2. Three coats of Ultra Door Intumescent Fire Paint or Varnish base, followed by two top coats of Flame Paint or Flame Varnish Finish (Eggshell or Gloss).

3. Additional panels or Veneers may be required to meet the minimum thickness requirements - we can manufacture this for you - please ask for a Quotation.

CERTIFICATION - why you will need a Certificate of Supply

A Fire Certificate of Supply can be issued for each Project. This is essential if you have to satisfies your Insurers, the Fire and Building Control Authority and for Client Records. Without a Certificate you may be vulnerable to prosecution in the event of a fire. We cannot issue a Certificate of Supply if we have not produced a Specification in the first place, so please do not buy paints without asking for a written Specification.

Certificates for: Class O and Class 1, 30 minutes, 60 minutes Fire Resistance, Timber and Steel.

COLOURS

BS and RAL Colour Range, plus five Metallic Finishes, plus clear Varnish.

'Fire Paint' is a general term rather misleadingly used to cover both Fire Resistant Paint, used as a top coat to protect the Intumescent Paint beneath and Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish, which are both relatively soft coatings. Class O and Class 1 are Classifications used regarding fire action on the surface of the paint, whereas 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes and 90 Minutes describe the period of protection given by the underlying Intumescent layers of Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish against fire penetration.

We can provide an Intumescent Paint price based on the thickness of the wood or steel to be protected, and a separate price for the Flame Paint used as a top coat, which acts as a retardent fire layer, producing an inert gas to protect itself for 10 minutes.
