Challenges

Finding a realistic solution that would retain the existing cladding whilst minimising both costs and inconvenience to the complex’s tenants.

Solution

The team at FireScope Fire Services spray-applied the Fireshell F1E to the external cladding and top-coated the system with an approved system to meet the client’s colour and finish requirements.

Outcome

The existing timber cladding was retained whilst offering a cost-effective alternative to replacing the cladding with non-combustible materials. The surfaces treated with the Fireshell F1E provided an effective solution to meeting both the Fire performance requirements and reducing costs and disruption for the clients.
