Fireproofing for Homes and Businesses
Additionally, the application of passive fire protection is necessary for compliance with the Ontario Building Code for buildings such as multi-family, office buildings, and commercial buildings. EcoStar Insulation ensures that the compliance requirements are met and the ultimate protection is provided against fire and smoke.
Fireproofing does not merely have to be limited to fireproofing steel beams and columns. You can fireproof your attic, basement, crawlspace, and walls to create the safest living environment possible. Cementitious fireproofing reduces the risk of structural damage, which allows firefighters to enter a structure more efficiently and minimizes both financial and emotional costs of a fire.

Cementitious fireproofing is a fire-resistant substance used for fireproofing structural components to limit the effects and spread of fire. This method is suitable for both residential and commercial properties and ensures the protection of:
- Structural steel beams, columns, and frames
- Concrete walls, floors, and ceilings
- High-risk areas such as stairwells, exit routes, and storage areas
The initial costs that are incurred by fireproofing will be surpassed by substantial future savings on properties and insurance that come with peace of mind.

The primary steel structures to be considered for fireproofing are the load-bearing steel beams and columns that offer stability in your structure. By fireproofing the critical steel structures, your structure will be safe even in a fire event.
