Intumescent Coatings for Structural Steel
On-site preparation and intumescent coating application for commercial structural steel projects across Southampton and Hampshire, delivered to the project-specific coating specification.
A specification-led coating service
Intumescent coatings are designed to expand when exposed to heat and help protect structural steel as part of a tested passive fire-protection system. The correct coating system and build are specific to the project; they are not selected from a universal online promise.
Newlook prepares and applies intumescent coatings on site. The fire-protection design, required performance, steel details, primer, exposure, finish, and inspection requirements must be established from the project documentation before we confirm a firm application scope.
What to send with your enquiry
- Project specification or fire strategy
- Steel schedule, drawings, and section details
- Existing primer and steel condition
- Site access, programme, and working constraints
- Finish and handover record requirements
How an intumescent project is scoped
Each stage follows the selected system, the project documentation, and the requirements agreed with the responsible project team.
Step 1
Review the project information
We start with the steelwork scope, project specification, drawings, access, programme, and required finish.
Step 2
Confirm the application scope
The proposed system, primer compatibility, preparation, protection, application, and inspection requirements are agreed before work starts.
Step 3
Prepare and apply on site
Steelwork is prepared and protected as specified, then the coating is applied in controlled stages to the agreed project requirements.
Step 4
Inspect and hand over
Inspection, correction, photographic evidence, and handover records follow the scope agreed for that project.
