Fireproofing and Insulation

Commercial fireproofing and insulation in Celina, self-performed. Municipal buildings, school district construction and the distribution going up along the Dallas North Tollway extension.
A Celina number that holds
after award.
Bahl Fireproofing has been a commercial fireproofing subcontractor since 1977, working out of Round Rock, Texas. In Celina we self-perform spray-applied fireproofing, intumescent coatings, K-13 sprayed fiber, spray foam and Core-Fill masonry insulation on our own crews and our own equipment.
What we do before we price a Celina job is confirm the adopted code edition and the local amendments with the authority having jurisdiction. That is the whole reason our number does not turn into a change order in month three, and it is the section below.
The code Celina actually adopted
Celina moved to the 2024 I-codes under Ordinance No. 2026-003, adopted 13 January 2026, covering the 2024 IBC, 2024 IECC and 2024 IFC. The previous package was the 2021 editions under Ordinance 2022-103. The local amendments that reach our scope are the draftstopping provisions at 708.4.3, 718.3 and 718.4 in combustible construction, a one-hour fire-rated barrier at pump and riser rooms under 901.4.7, and the elevator machine room sprinkler prohibition at 3005.5.1.1.1. The 2021 package also amended the Section 202 definition of special inspector to require building official approval.
Celina is in Climate Zone 3A (Collin County), which is what sets the envelope side of the job. We price the assembly on your drawings against the edition this jurisdiction enforces, not the model code.

Do you actually work in Celina, or just bid it?
Celina Fire Station No. 3 is ours. We built the fire station. The city and the general contractors on that job knew who they were hiring, and the work is standing in Celina where anybody can look at it.
Which code edition applies in Celina?
Celina moved to the 2024 I-codes under Ordinance No. 2026-003, adopted 13 January 2026, covering the 2024 IBC, 2024 IECC and 2024 IFC. The previous package was the 2021 editions under Ordinance 2022-103. The local amendments that reach our scope are the draftstopping provisions at 708.4.3, 718.3 and 718.4 in combustible construction, a one-hour fire-rated barrier at pump and riser rooms under 901.4.7, and the elevator machine room sprinkler prohibition at 3005.5.1.1.1. The 2021 package also amended the Section 202 definition of special inspector to require building official approval.
What climate zone is Celina in?
Climate Zone 3A, Collin County. That is the figure the adopted energy code keys off, and it drives the insulation specification and which side of the assembly the vapour control belongs on.
How fast can you mobilize to Celina?
North Texas is a standing route. Celina and Melissa usually schedule together, which keeps the travel off your number.
Do you sub the work out in Celina?
No. Our own crews and our own equipment come to Celina. Nobody local is carrying our name on your project, which is why the install standard is the same here as it is on a job outside our own front door.
What do you need to give me a number?
Drawings with the rated assemblies, the spec sections for the systems in our scope, the substrate, the areas by square foot and the bid due date. If the documents are unclear we ask rather than guess.
What states do you work in?
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arizona, Minnesota and Wisconsin, out of Round Rock, Texas. We travel for the right project and we are prequalified with national and regional general contractors across the territory.
Are you prequalified, bonded and insured?
Yes. We carry commercial general liability, auto, workers compensation and umbrella coverage, and we go through GC prequalification regularly. Send us your prequal packet and insurance requirements with the bid documents and we will return them completed.
