Frequently Asked Questions

Must the roof be completed before fireproofing is applied?
Yes, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Can A/C ducts be installed before sprayed fireproofing?
No. This can obstruct the access to steel beams and deck. Fireproofing must be sprayed directly on to the steel else adhesion and cohesion may not take place.

How long does it take the fireproofing material to dry?
Depending on the thickness and environmental conditions, the material can take anywhere from 14 to 28 days to dry. Proper ventilation is essential, when sprayed in enclosed areas.

How do I determine the thickness?
The thickness is dependent on:

• The space it is being applied

• The type of deck and depth of the metal deck

• Type of topping on the deck

• Beam sizes supporting the deck

• Type of column and its sizes
