Fire Ratings
Local councils and other governmental bodies have also realised this and have begun to take action by enforcing higher fire-ratings on all publicly-used commercial and privately-owned buildings in their domain including new, existing and heritage structures.
Safety Orders
Councils issue fire safety orders on buildings that they deem to have the most inadequate fire protection between the ceilings, floors and walls that separate the occupancies of multi-unit buildings including nursing homes, apartment buildings and accommodation providers.
Traditional Fixes
The traditional fixes to these fire code hazards include replacing ceilings with fire-rated linings or installing extensive sprinkler systems: both of which are time-consuming and costly renovation options.
Fortunately, there is a safe, non-destructive option to achieve the required fire rating on existing buildings that is cost effective and can be completed in days rather than months: intumescent, fire-rated paint technology.
