Protective Coatings for Structure Protection
At MTS Property Services, we specialise in the application of protective coatings, providing a robust shield for all types of structures. Our coatings are designed to combat corrosion, withstand extreme weather and fire, and extend the lifespan of your property, ensuring it remains in pristine condition. With our advanced solutions and expert application, we deliver a protective barrier that is as enduring as it is invisible.
Passive Fire Protection
At MTS Property Services, we champion Passive Fire Protection (PFP) as a cornerstone of building safety, designed to compartmentalise fire and smoke. This critical safety layer, incorporating fire-resistant materials in walls, floors, and doors, is key to safeguarding lives by providing vital evacuation time and supporting emergency responses. PFP's intrinsic value lies in its ability to protect without relying on active systems, ensuring a foundational level of safety and structural integrity in the face of fire.
Intumescent Paints
Intumescent paints swell when exposed to extreme heat, forming a protective char layer that insulates structural elements from fire. This technology not only enhances the fire resistance of commercial buildings but also ensures compliance with stringent safety standards, offering an aesthetically pleasing finish without compromising on safety. Our expertise in applying these advanced coatings guarantees peace of mind and superior protection for your premises.
Cementitious Coatings
Cementitious coatings offer another robust form of passive fire protection, complementing the benefits of intumescent paints. These mineral-based coatings, applied as a thick layer on structural steel, provide excellent fire resistance by creating a heat-insulating barrier. When exposed to high temperatures, cementitious coatings undergo a chemical reaction that releases water vapour, effectively slowing heat transfer to the protected surface. This unique property allows the coated structure to maintain its integrity for an extended period during a fire, providing crucial evacuation time and minimising damage. At MTS Property Services, our skilled technicians are well-versed in the application of cementitious coatings, ensuring precise thickness and coverage to meet the specific fire protection requirements of your building.
3rd Party Inspection
At MTS Property Services, we understand the importance of quality control in the application of protective coatings. To ensure the highest standards of workmanship and compliance, we offer comprehensive 3rd Party Inspection services. Our team of certified inspectors meticulously assess the coating process during and after application, guaranteeing that every layer meets the strictest industry regulations and project specifications. This independent oversight provides our clients with the assurance that their assets are protected by a flawless, durable coating system, optimising long-term performance and minimising the risk of costly failures. With our 3rd Party Inspection, you can have complete confidence in the integrity of your protective coating solution.
