Sprayed Fire Protection
Antex Western is constantly working to respond to market demand. By enhancing the products we handle we are able to meet industry needs. One of the greatest concerns facing the construction industry today is the threat to life and damage to structure a fire can cause. With an increasing number of high-rise buildings under construction and mounting public awareness due to recent building fires, this concern continues to grow. Steel a basic building component is a truly non-combustible material. However, steel beams and columns, if left unprotected, will experience damage and probable collapse in a fire situation; a fact dramatically illustrated by actual fires. Spray –applied fireproofing is the most effective, proven and economical means of protection for structural steel. But to function it must stay in place permanently, it must remain on the steel during construction and building occupancy to adequately perform. In the event of fire, insufficient thickness accidental removal, or poor physical integrity could spell disaster. A false sense of security could develop if the in-place performance of structural steel fireproofing is not considered. Antex Western employs Certified Grace Monokote technicians
