Professional Fireproofing Services

Fireproofing is use of fire-resistant materials in a building to prevent structural collapse and allow safe egress of occupants in case of fire. The fire-resistive ratings of various materials and constructions are established by laboratory tests and usually specified in terms of the hours a material or assembly can be expected to withstand exposure to fire.

Fire Resistance is not a property of an individual product or material but a measure of the performance of a complete system including frame work, fixings and all other components when subjected to a recognised heating regime.

Kinsmen Building Maintenance is a professional fireproofing contractor which provides high quality fireproofing products and workmanship at affordable prices to the residential, commercial and industrial sectors in Cape Town.

Fireproofing Applications:

• Keep critical electrical circuits below 140 °C so they stay operational
• Concrete linings of traffic tunnels
• Fireblocking: In a construction, gaps are created by joists or studs in floor or wall partitions. These hollow spaces allow fire to travel easily from one area to another. Fireblocks are installed internally to divide these areas into smaller intervals.
• Firewall (construction) is a common method employed to separate a building into small units to restrict or delay the spread of fire from one section to the next. Fire walls usually extend the full length of a building, from foundation to roof.
• Fire barriers and fire partitions: They are similar to fire walls in operation; however, their height is limited to a single floor, from the slab of one floor to the underside of the next.

Fireproofing Services:

• Vermiculite Plasters
• Intumescent Coatings
• Fire & Smoke Curtains
• Fire Barriers & Ceilings
• Fire Stopping / Seals
• Ducting
