Intumescent Fire proofing – Fire retardant coating – Fire proof paint
Spray on Intumescent Fire proofing . We recently attended a class hosted by Sherwin Williams in Edison, NJ concerning there Intumescent Fire retardent coating. It was well attended and many questions and comments were brought forward. We learned about ratings and thicknesses based on steel type and coating thickness. Competitors such as Carboline and Albi were discussed as to the differences in application and initial coating thickness. We have applied other Intumescent coatings in the past and look forward to using Firetex.
How to seal a treated deck.
A good question with a thousand answers . First you must clean it . This is necessary to allow the sealer to penetrate and not cause a blotchy appearance. Pick up a Liquid deck cleaner and ” read ” the directions you’ll need a garden pump sprayer too. Spray the wood to wet all areas. Allow to work recommended time , and rinse , preferably with a pressure washer , be careful not to get too close as it will leave marks.
Once its completely dry , a day or so , fill up that pump sprayer with your sealer of choice. use light weight plastic to protect the house, grass, furniture , Its best to get a local dealers help on which product based on your climate, amount of sun , rain etc.
Happy sealing
