Intumescent Coatings
Albi's intumescent coatings expand when exposed to heat, forming a protective barrier against fire. These water-based solutions are applied to steel, wood, and drywall in commercial buildings. They meet UL standards and provide up to four hours of fire resistance, ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Fireproof Insulation Boards
DriClad fireproof insulation boards offer a durable solution for renovating failing cementitious materials. These pre-manufactured panels install quickly without substrate removal, reducing labor costs. They maintain structural integrity in extreme heat and are ideal for operational facilities requiring minimal disruption.
Commercial Construction Fireproofing
We provide fireproofing systems for new commercial buildings, including airports and hospitals. Our products integrate seamlessly with construction timelines and meet global fire safety codes. Solutions include spray-applied coatings and board systems that protect steel beams and columns without compromising aesthetics.
Renovation Fireproofing
Our renovation solutions address failing fireproofing materials in existing structures. Albi Clad FP coats wood and drywall ceilings without removal, while DriClad boards replace damaged cementitious coatings. These methods reduce project timelines and costs compared to full substrate replacement.
