Cementitious Spraying | Cementitious Coatings

Fire Protection of Structural Elements
Cementitious sprays are a perfect solution for protecting complex steel and concrete structures and are most often used in the commercial and industrial buildings or residential buildings' carparks, basements or utility areas. Cementitious fire coating is a non-decorative mortar material that consists of cement or gypsum, which forms a durable surface with high fire resistance performance. Cementitious sprays are applied in multiple layers in order to protect the underlying material and form a durable barrier that delays the rate of heat transfer in the event of fire. Cementitious coatings are recognised as a fast and cost-efficient method of providing up to 240 minutes fire protection to structural elements, such as steelwork or concrete beams, columns and slabs. The sprays are dense but lightweight, offering a long-term fire protection solution that is easy to install and maintain. This fire protection system allows the fire protection material to follow the contours of the structure and fill hard-to-reach gaps.

Fire Protection Enhancement for Concrete Structures
ALERON Fire Protection offer fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural concrete members, for instance slabs, floors, roofs and walls and which can include integral beams and columns. Our Fire Resistance upgrades to Structural Members are done in accordance with the recommendations of BS EN 13381 Part 3: Applied Protection to Concrete Members. The benefits of this fire protection technology is the speed of application, cost-efficiency and robustness of the material which can withstand impact and abrasion. Cementitious coatings are relatively inexpensive materials for the fireproofing of structural steels and are the preferred choice for many firestopping applications where smooth finishing appearance is not a requirement.
