Vancouver’s Intumescent Spray Fireproofing Professionals
Intumescent fireproofing is a thin-film coating which allows architectural features to structural steel columns, beams, and braces to remain as an exposed steel finish, rather than boxed in with cladding or dry wall. The finish can be coloured using a decorative topcoat for aesthetically pleasing designs.
Applications for Intumescent Fireproofing
Intumescent fireproofing can be applied to interior locations such as libraries, hospitals, schools, airports, transit stations, and shopping centres.
Exterior grade intumescent coatings can be applied to industrial buildings, ship or ferry marine vessels, automotive dealerships, airports, and commercial buildings where exposed steel requires a ULC or UL rating using an approved ASTM 119 or CAN/ULC-S101 system.

Medium Density, High Resistance Fireproofing for British Columbia
Medium density spray fireproofing is generally applied in areas that are publicly accessible, and therefore prone to damage. This material’s resistive qualities make it ideal for areas such as exposed columns and braces that require a stronger, harder, and more durable application than typical fireproofing can provide. Medium density fireproofing can also be used for specialized industrial or commercial applications.
Within our projects gallery, you can see an example of our medium density spray fireproofing that has been applied at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Medium Density Spray Fireproofing Products
Greer Contracting applies several varieties of medium density spray fireproofing, including:
• A/D Type 5 MD™
• A/D Type 7GP™
• Cafco® 400
• Cafco Blaze-Shield® HP
For additional information on medium density spray fireproofing, contact Greer Contracting Ltd.
Exterior Grade Fireproofing Services for Vancouver & British Columbia
Exterior grade fireproofing products are suitable for exterior areas that face weather exposure. These products are used for fire rating structural steel which may be subject to various levels of exterior exposure. These levels may range from extreme exposure to wind, rain, as well as freeze and thaw cycles, versus simply being within an enclosed soffit with no direct weather contact.
Exterior Grade Products:
• Cafco® Blaze-Shield® II
• Cafco® Blaze-Shield® HP
• Cafco® Fendolite® M-II
• A/D Type 7GP™
• A/D Type 7 HD™
• Carboline® Pyrocrete
