Specialist fire protection services are key to keeping the structural elements of buildings safe. Intumescent coatings improve structural steel’s ability to resist extreme heat. This reduces the chance of collapse in a fire.
These coatings help steel endure high temperatures, keeping the building stable in case of fire.
We use Bluebeam software to handle quantity take-offs, RFIs, and reports for our fire protection projects. This makes sure each stage is tracked, documented, and finished to a high standard.

Intumescent paint is a proven method for shielding structural steel from fire damage. Our systems follow strict performance standards.
Intumescent coatings, or reactive paints, activate at temperatures over 120°C. They expand and form a thick insulating char, increasing up to 50 times their original thickness. This layer slows heat transfer to the steel. It helps the steel keep its strength for a set time, usually between 30 and 120 minutes, depending on the product. This extra protection gives people time to evacuate safely. It also helps stop structural failure before the fire is under control.
Choosing the right partner for passive fire protection means selecting a reliable company. At IF CITY Ltd, we are accredited by recognised industry bodies, showing our commitment to safety, quality, and compliance.
In a fire, steel starts to weaken at about 300°C. By 400°C, it can lose up to 60% of its strength. When temperatures reach nearly 1000°C in typical building fires, unprotected steel is very likely to collapse.
Intumescent coatings help delay this by creating a thermal barrier. They help steel handle critical temperatures from 550°C to 650°C. This buys time for evacuation and emergency response.
