Choosing the wrong spray foam for a commercial building does not just waste money. It creates moisture problems, code compliance failures, and insulation that underperforms
Fire ratings on structural steel is not a guarantee that the steel will survive a fire indefinitely. It is a time-defined performance standard: the number
Cementitious fireproofing (SFRM) and intumescent coatings are the two primary methods of protecting structural steel from fire. They use completely different mechanisms, carry different inspection
Wichita’s commercial construction market runs on aviation manufacturing, military modernization, and a growing healthcare and logistics sector. If you are a general contractor, facility manager,
IBC Table 601 is the single page in the International Building Code that determines whether your structural steel needs fireproofing. Every construction type, every fire-resistance
Fireproofing and fire retardant are not the same thing. They are governed by different IBC chapters, tested to different ASTM standards, applied to different building
Commercial fireproofing installed on structural steel costs between $5 and $35 or more per square foot, depending on the product system, fire rating, steel complexity,
Spray-applied fire-resistive material (SFRM) comes in three density categories, and the one your project specifies determines how well the fireproofing survives on the steel throughout
