Fire Protection
Revolutionising Fire Safety with Intumescent Coatings
At GHDC, we believe in the transformative power of intumescent coatings for protecting buildings and infrastructure against fire hazards. These specialised coatings expand when exposed to heat, forming a protective layer that insulates structural elements and enhances fire resistance, ensuring the safety of occupants and property.
Protecting Commercial Buildings
Intumescent Solutions for Modern Infrastructure
Intumescent coatings are essential for safeguarding commercial buildings. By applying these coatings, we ensure that crucial structural components, such as steel beams and columns, maintain their integrity during a fire, allowing for safe evacuation and reducing damage.
Enhancing Residential Safety
A Home's Best Defence
For residential properties, intumescent coatings provide peace of mind. These coatings not only protect vital structures but also enhance the overall safety of homes, ensuring that families are shielded from potential fire risks.
High-Rise Buildings and Intumescent Coatings
Heightened Safety for Urban Life
In urban areas, high-rise buildings present unique challenges. Intumescent coatings are crucial in maintaining fire safety in these towering structures, helping to protect against vertical fire spread and ensuring adequate escape routes during emergencies.
Compliance with Fire Safety Standards

The Essential Guide to Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings are a fundamental component in the field of fire protection, playing a crucial role in enhancing the safety of various structures. These specialised coatings are designed to react when exposed to high temperatures by expanding significantly. This expansion creates a thick, insulating char that protects the underlying materials from the devastating effects of fire, effectively preventing fire spread and maintaining the structural integrity of buildings.
How Intumescent Coatings Work
Upon exposure to heat, intumescent coatings undergo a chemical reaction that causes them to swell. This process transforms the coating into a foamy char that can be several times thicker than the original layer. This char provides a thermal barrier, significantly slowing down the transfer of heat to the substrate beneath, allowing for crucial additional time during a fire incident for occupants to evacuate safely.
Applications of Intumescent Coatings
Intumescent coatings are utilised in a variety of applications, from residential buildings to commercial structures and industrial facilities. Their versatility makes them ideal for protecting exposed steelwork, wood, and other materials where fire resistance is essential. By implementing these coatings, property owners and developers can ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and contribute to safer environments.
