Commercial Spray-On Fireproofing Services

In the commercial sector, fire safety is not just a regulatory checklist—it is the backbone of your building's integrity and the safety of every occupant inside. Our professional spray-on fireproofing services provide a critical layer of passive fire protection, ensuring your facility meets the highest safety standards while protecting your bottom line.

We specialize in applying high-performance coatings to structural steel, decking, and concrete. By insulating these core materials from extreme heat, we prevent structural failure during a fire event, buying crucial time for evacuation and minimizing catastrophic damage. We offer tailored solutions based on your building's specific needs and aesthetic requirements:

1. Cementitious Fireproofing

The industry standard for concealed areas (like behind walls or above suspended ceilings). This lightweight, gypsum-based mixture is spray-applied to steel beams and columns, drying to a hard, durable finish that offers exceptional thermal protection at a cost-effective price point.

2. Intumescent Fireproofing

Ideal for exposed steel where aesthetics matter (such as open-concept offices or lobbies). This "thin-film" coating looks like paint but creates a chemical reaction when exposed to heat, expanding rapidly to form a thick, insulating char layer that protects the steel beneath.

Why Choose Spray-On Fireproofing?

Investing in professional fireproofing offers immediate and long-term advantages for your commercial property:

• Uncompromised Structural Integrity: Steel loses strength rapidly when exposed to high temperatures. Our coatings insulate the steel, preventing warping, buckling, and collapse during a fire.
• Life Safety First: By delaying the spread of heat and structural failure, you provide occupants with the most valuable asset during an emergency: time to escape safely.
• Code Compliance & Certification: We ensure your building adheres to all local building codes, International Building Code (IBC) requirements, and UL-rated designs.
• Insurance Savings: Many insurance carriers offer reduced premiums for facilities equipped with superior passive fire protection systems.
• Versatility: Suitable for new construction, retrofits, and renovation projects across warehouses, office buildings, hospitals, and industrial facilities.

Spray-Applied Cementitious Fireproofing (Monokote MK-6 HY) – GCP Applied Technologies

• Brand: Monokote
• Material Type: Cement-based, spray-applied directly to structural steel and metal walls.
• Performance: Can achieve up to 3-hour fire-rated assemblies when properly engineered.
• Applications: Industrial, commercial, and storage facilities; particularly effective for warehouse expansions or code-driven fire separations.

Benefits / Differentiators:

• Much faster than traditional firewall construction.
• Minimally disruptive to ongoing operations.
• Roughly half the cost of traditional firewall construction or wall reconstruction.
• Space-efficient, preserving usable square footage.

Why Monokote MK-6 HY is Better than Traditional Methods:

• Traditional firewalls require multiple layers of sheetrock, studs, and finishes, often costing $20+ per sqft and taking weeks to install.
• Monokote MK-6 HY provides code-compliant 3-hour fire-rated assemblies in a fraction of the time and cost.
• Reduces downtime, preserves usable space, and allows facilities to stay operational during installation.
