What is a Firas Certification?
FIRAS certification is the endorsement of competency in installing products and systems. It provides added assurance that suppliers are independently verified, regularly audited/certified, and competent to undertake the necessary work. It demonstrates that the certified company can achieve and work strictly within the scheme requirements.
Understanding Fire Hoardings
In the ever-evolving landscape of retail and construction, ensuring the safety of personnel and property is paramount. Fire hoardings play a crucial role in this, acting as robust barriers designed to prevent the spread of flames during fit outs or refurbishments.

What is Intumescent Paint?
One of our most effective methods is intumescent paint, a game-changer in passive fire protection. We believe that this substance should be part of any fire safety training and installation process.
Unlike sprinklers or alarms (active fire protection), intumescent paint is built into the structure. This fire-retardant coating protects critical materials—especially intumescent paint for steel, timber, and concrete—by reacting to heat, expanding to form a protective insulating layer.
