Cementitious fireproofing works by insulating structural steel from heat, using a spray-applied, mill-mixed plaster thick enough to slow how quickly the steel absorbs heat during a fire. That delay keeps the steel below the temperature where it starts losing structural strength, buying time for...

Residential fireproofing requirements depend on the type of building, its construction, the location of fire separations, and the materials that need protection. A detached house does not necessarily require the same systems as a condominium, apartment building, or mixed-use property. Qualified...

Spray foam insulation can be used for an attic, and it is applied in one of two places: directly under the roof deck, which brings the attic inside the home's conditioned space, or along the attic floor, which keeps the attic itself unconditioned. Which approach makes sense depends on how the...

This is often called passive fire protection, because the material works...

Yes, spray foam insulation can have a valuable place in agricultural buildings when it is selected and installed for the structure’s specific use. It can reduce uncontrolled air leakage, improve temperature stability, and help manage condensation in barns, storage buildings, workshops, and...
