Sprayed protection, intumescent coating or board encasement: what is the difference?
Short answer
Sprayed, intumescent and board systems solve the same problem differently, and differ in cost, appearance, application conditions, environmental tolerance, programme and the evidence behind them. The choice is a design decision, not a finish preference.
What to do next
Send the tag, the schedule reference, the drawings you have and photographs of the actual condition. We will tell you what they show, what they cannot, and what else is needed before anyone gives a conclusion.
General information only. A conclusion about a specific condition requires the actual construction, the evidence behind it and the site condition to be reviewed.
