Fire protection for metal structures

columns, beams, trusses, and ceilings

Why is fireproofing for metal structures necessary?

Fire safety regulations mandate fire protection for all load-bearing structures, - including columns, beams, trusses, and bracing. This is crucial for: ::

- Maintaining structural strength during a fire

- Preventing building collapse

- Ensuring sufficient time for safe human evacuation

Types of fire protection for metal structures

    1. Intumescent fire-retardant paints
    • Thin-layer coatings (1–3 mm)
    • Expand when heated, forming a protective thermal barrier
    • Suitable for .
    1. Fire-retardant plasters and coatings
    • Thick-layer compounds (10–50 mm)
    • Used to provide high fire resistance up to 3 hours. .
    • Require mesh reinforcement
    1. Basalt and roll insulation
    • Non-combustible slabs or mats
    • Used for concealed structural elements .

Fire protection features for various structures

🔹 Columns

  • Vertical load-bearing elements
  • Typically protected with intumescent paints
  • Require fire resistance on all four sides

🔹 Floor beams

  • Horizontal stiffening diaphragms
  • Treated as part of the building’s integrated complex

🔹 Trusses

  • Large-span rod systems
  • Protection is applied immediately after installation and primer repair

How to choose fire protection?

✅   Indoor or outdoor operating conditions, including temperature and humidity
✅   The necessary fire resistance rating (30–120 minutes)
✅   Architectural requirements (appearance, decorative requirements for structural finishes and desired finish color)
✅   Project completion timeline and budget

Сost of fire-retardant painting

Cost factors:

  • Structure type, metal grade (column, beam, truss)
  • Required fire resistance rating according to the design and regulatory requirements, such as Urban Development Norms and Regulations (SHNK) 2.01.02-04 "Fire Safety of Buildings and Structures"
  • Selected material (paint, plaster, slabs)
  • Work area and labor costs, working height, and required lifting equipment
  • Project urgency
