Services
Fireproofing
Our fireproofing services protect commercial buildings by applying industry-approved materials that delay structural failure during fires. We use sprayed fire-resistive materials and intumescent coatings to meet ASTM and International Building Code standards. Clients benefit from enhanced safety and compliance for steel and concrete structures.
Insulation
We provide insulation solutions including cellulose spray and polyurethane foam to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Our systems offer high R-values, condensation control, and acoustic benefits while meeting modern building code requirements for commercial spaces.
Spray Applied Fireproofing
This technique involves applying cement- or gypsum-based materials to structural elements, providing thermal insulation and fire resistance. We follow ASTM E119 standards to ensure steel and metal decking remain below failure temperatures during fire events.
Intumescent Fireproofing
Our intumescent coatings expand under high heat to insulate structural members while maintaining visual appeal. This solution meets International Building Code requirements for exposed architectural elements in commercial buildings.
Abatement Respray
We specialize in replacing outdated asbestos-containing fireproofing materials with modern, compliant solutions. This service brings older buildings up to current safety standards while preserving structural integrity during renovation projects.
