Frequently Asked Questions
What is fire protection for exterior timber?
Fire protection systems are specialist coatings designed to help slow the spread of flames on exterior timber. They provide additional time in the event of a fire while helping maintain the natural appearance of the timber.
Does fire protection change the appearance of the timber?
Most systems are designed to provide a clear or near-invisible finish, helping preserve the natural beauty of the timber while improving its fire performance.
Can existing timber cladding be treated?
Yes. In many cases, existing timber cladding can be professionally treated, provided it is clean, dry and in suitable condition. We’ll assess this during our initial survey.
Will I need scaffolding?
Not always. Access requirements depend on the size and layout of your building. Where required, we can arrange suitable access equipment or scaffolding as part of the project planning.
How long does the treatment last?
The lifespan of the treatment depends on the timber species, the fire protection system used and the building’s exposure to the elements. We’ll recommend the most suitable solution and provide guidance on future maintenance.
Is fire protection suitable for homes as well as commercial buildings?
Yes. We work on residential homes, apartment buildings, schools, commercial properties and public buildings, selecting the most appropriate fire protection system for each project.
Can fire protection be combined with UV protection?
Absolutely. Many projects benefit from combining fire protection with UV and weather protection, helping improve both safety and the long-term appearance of the timber.
