Featured Questions
We would suggest Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating here, test a small area first to ensure compatability, appearance, adhesion etc. before doing the whole area.
Thank you for your enquiry, unfortunately we wouldn't have anything to offer to combat this problem for you.
We would recommend Rust-Oleum Tarmacoat which can be applied directly to clean, dry tarmac and is available in a range of standard colours. It is not designed as a levelling coating but if you apply a couple of coats it may assist in filling in very shallow depths.
Assuming this is standard universal beams and columns in a domestic residential property with steels located in interior, dry environments needing 30 minute protection we would recommend Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel.
We would recommend Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C for your application which is available in a metallic Aluminium finish.
We would need to know the composition of the headboard so that we can match it as closely as we can to a test?
We would recommend Hydron AG4 Graffiti Remover to assist in removing the existing bitumen from the floor before applying any paint coatings.
Unfortunately we don't have any fire retardant paint for ceiling tiles.
We would recommend Smartkote Protectakote UVR for this application but new concrete must be left a minimum of 28 days to cure before painting.
It isn't. Assuming more than just a primer was applied to the steel we would have to recommend complete removal before re-application of a coloured intumescent system.
We would recommend bare rusty surfaces be primed with Rust-Oleum 769/780 Damp-Proof Rust Primer which is left for 24 hours before overcoating with Rust-Oleum CombiColor.
This would depend on the level of fire protection required (i.e. Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.), the type of wood the ladder is made from and whether it is bare or previously coated?
We're able to offer a waterproofing, flexible and crack bridging product in way of Rust-Oleum Mathys Murfill Waterproofing Coating. This can be applied to old, sound paintwork following thorough brushing down. If the surface is bare or the paint surface is chalking, you wuold need to first prime the surafce with Mathys Pegafix. Any cracks larger than 0.5mm would need filling with Rust-Oleum Mathys Elastofill. The system will not necessarily prevent further cracks in the substrate but the flexibility in the coating will prevent cracks from showing.
If the doors are already painted we would recommend Envirograf Door Upgrade Paint System. If the doors are bare timber or previously stained/varnished then you could use Envirograf Door Upgrade Varnish System.
Blackfriar High-Heat Resistant Paint would be recommended for applying a black, heat resistant finish on the externals of a wood burner.
We do offer these products but not for purchase on the site due to the need for a specification to be issued prior to use.
If you wish to recieve a specification please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
Blackfriar Professional Polyurethane Floor Paint comes in small 1 litre tins which would be plenty for 2m² but we would suggest you check with the manufacturer of the levelling compound you have used that it can be over painted first.
We would recommend Thermoguard Wallcoat 30 & 60 Minute System.
We have no experience of this but we wouldn't recommend it.
We would recommend Rust-Oleum 7200 Floorcoat PU.
Assuming a Class 1 or Class 0 finish is required we'd recommend Thermoguard Timbercoat BS Class 1/0 & EN Class B System for a coloured paint finish or Thermoguard Fire Varnish BS Class 1/0 & EN Class B System for a clear varnish finish.
Unfortunately we wouldn't have anything to offer for this application.
Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to offer any products for your application as although we could offer a product to protect the outer fabric, the internal foam wouldn't be compliant.
I would assume from the description that this is a metal substrate? If so our initial suggestion would be Rust-Oleum Mathys Noxyde. If you contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] with some further information - size, images, etc. then they would be able to provide a more detailed specification for your project.
We would recommend applying Thermilate InsOpaint Anti-Condensation Paint. Thoroughly clean down the surface, lightly sand to remove the sheen on the existing paint and apply 2 - 3 coats. This can then be left as a finish or over painted with your own paint/colour if required.
Yes, this would be our recommendation. Ensure to thoroughly clean, degrease and lightly abrade the surface prior to applying the Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 and use the water based versions of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior in suitable conditions.
You haven't said which product you're asking about but somethng like Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane comes in 5lt tins and can be mixed to nearly all RAL colours.
We are assuming this is for use on a boat and an antifouling paint is what you require? If so, see our antifouling options HERE.
You haven't mentioned which product you're enquiring about but assuming the walls are internal something like Timberex Aqua may achieve the appearance you're looking for.
Can you advise which product you are enquiring about please?
We would suggest something such as Bradite HD Floor + Wall, make sure previous coatings are sound, well adhered and compatible. If you check on the data sheet full details of application to wall area is included - downloadable from the 'Attachments' tab.
To retain heat in the summer you could apply Thermilate InsOpaint Interior Emulsion internally, and to reduce excessive heat gain in summer apply Thermilate PRO Insulating S-Flex Coating to the exterior wall surfaces in white.
Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint can tolerate temperatures up to 750°C but we have no way of knowing whether it would do what you require in this instance so you would have to test it.
Assuming the galvanising is still unpainted we would suggest Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion followed by Rust-Oleum CombiColor. Download and read the product data sheets for each product from the attachments tab on each page for details on preparation and application.
We don't have any products with specific data for use on ABS, so unfortunately it would be a case of testing a product for adhesion, performance, etc. you can see our range of flame retardant topcoats here: https://www.rawlinspaints.com/flame-retardant-topcoats
We would suggest considering Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt (Water Based). If you provide the size of your area to paint we can provide a guide on how much would be required and a reduced price for quantity.
Due to the specialist nature of this application I would suggest contacting our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] with more details of your requirement so we may advise accordingly.
Smartkote Safekote would be our recommendation.
Providing the steel won't be subject to high levels of humidity during the cure process and assuming the steel does not require a decorative finish, you can use the below specification.
| Environment (Defined in ISO 12944-2:1998) | Category C4 - Industrial Areas and Chemical Plants | |
| Durability (Life to first major maintenance - see notes below) | Up to 20 years | |
| Surface Preparation | Blast Clean to Sa2½ BS EN ISO 8501-1:2007 | |
| Surface Profile | Within the range 50-75 microns typical | |
| Coat | Material | d.f.t. microns |
| Primer / Buildcoat | Sherwin-Williams Macropoxy C400V3 | 275 |
Notes on this specification;
- ISO12944 states that Durability is not a guarantee time. Durability should be considered as the coating design life, where regular minor maintenance should be scheduled to achieve the required life to first major maintenance
- Dry film thicknesses (d.f.t.) quoted are NOMINAL as defined by BS EN ISO 12944-5.
- The same material is used for site touch up following suitable cleaning and re-preparation of affected areas.
- All materials should be obtained from Rawlins Paints and must be applied in accordance with the technical data sheets.
- Coated steelwork should be protected to prevent prolonged contact with water, e.g. ponding.
- Limited range of primer shades.
- All epoxy coatings will discolour and chalk progressively. Later application (site touch-up) may be noticeable.
- Stripe coat all edges, welds and areas of difficult access, to ensure full film thickness.
- For fire protection systems, please contact the Technical Department.
- This specification is offered as guidance only. To ensure that the most appropriate materials are used please contact Rawlins Paints with the project details.
With regards to a woodcoating system for use on Oak cladded steel in a swimming pool environment the below issues need explaining to your client.
- High humidity which can lead to black tanning on oak.
- Colour of translucent finish required (using a clear coating is not advisable)
- Ensuring all end grain timber is sealed to minimize moisture ingress which will distort the timber and turn Oak black.
We have sent you a seperate email with some further information attached which may be of use. We can provide a system but its important your customer is made aware of these issues.
You would need to consult the manufacturer of the 2 pack epoxy you intend to use to ascertain what their requirements would be as a primer and/or preparation required to the rudder before application.
Thermoguard Cladcoat is for the exterior face of corrugated cladding.
For the internal liner panel either;
i). Existing surface is Plastisol coating - Apply 2 coats of Thermoguard Wallcoat Smoke & Flame Retardant Topcoat
OR
ii). Existing coating is hard smooth powder coating - Apply 1 coat of Coo-Var Prime-All OR abrade for key and then apply Apply 2 coats of Thermoguard Wallcoat Smoke & Flame Retardant Topcoat
After preparation in accordance with the product data sheets we would advise Teamac Metaclor Underwater CR Primer followed by Teamac Chlorvar Chlorinated Rubber Paint. Allow 21 days minimum before submerging and bringing back into use.
Unfortunately not sorry.
Not from ourselves, sorry.
I am assuming you require something for slip resistance? If so, assuming the staircase is concrete we would recommend our 501 Anti Slip Floor Paint.
Britannia Aquashield High Build should be a good choice for this as it is recommended for use on GRP/Fibreglass.
Unfortunately for this type of application we can only offer black or silver/aluminium as colours. Something like Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C would be our recommendation.
We would suggest trying Zinsser Cover Stain, some permanent markers could bleed through so you will need to do a test first, 2 coats may be required.
I would suggest Rust-Oleum Mathys Elastofill, Rust-Oleum Mathys Primer 44 HS and Rust-Oleum Mathys Dacfill Waterproofing. Obviously we can't quantify what you'll need for the cracks using Elastofill but based on 1,842m² you'd need 185 litres of Primer 44 HS and 2,763 kilograms of Dacfill Waterproofing Coating. Please contact us for special pricing on 0113 2455450 or [email protected]
We wouldn't have anything specific for this, but assuming it will need to withstand high temperatures you could try Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C but there would be no guarantees.
Assuming a BS Class 1/0 system is required then we would recommend Envirograf ES/VFR Clear Class 1/0 & EN Class B System for Wood (Exterior) for bamboo.
We offer Rust-Oleum 5200 Epoxyshield Ultra which is an epoxy-modified acrylic but as this is primarily designed for industrial application I would make you aware that scuffs and scratches can still occur
Please click our following Blog Post which will offer information on your application - Blog Post
At present, we do not have any products that would be suitable for your application.
Bedec Super-Flex offers a flexible waterproof finish that can be applied directly to cement fibre sheets. The 1st coat should be thinned 30% with clean water followed by an undiluted coat
We would recommend Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel to achieve 30mins fire protection on compatible, primed internal steel. The packs contain an intumescent coating and a flame retardant topcoat which we can tint in most RAL and BS colours.
Assuming your steelwork is primed with a compatible primer only and all internal, we would recommend Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel for 30mins protection or Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 60min System for Steel for 60mins protection - both systems are available in Black as a finish in either Eggshell or Gloss
Cromadex 222 One Pack Fast Air Drying Alkyd Topcoat is available in 222V7000 Lilac Sparkle but isn't available as a colour selection on our website so please contact our sales team on 0113 245 5450 who will be happy to process an order for you
We currently have no products we could recommend for this application
Please click the following link and read through our Blog post on Painting the Walls Around A Fireplace or Multi Fuel Stove which should assist you
We would recommend Sikaflex AT Connection for standard vertical connection joints to offer a flexible, over-paintable finish. If you could provide us more details on your specific application we may be able to offer an alternative - please email [email protected] with further information
Assuming an anti-slip finish is required then we would recommend Jotun Jota Armour
We would recommend Rust-Oleum CombiColor for application on to metal gates be it bare mild steel or previously painted. Rust-Oleum CombiColor should be thinned 10-25% volume with Rust-Oleum 7301 CombiColor Thinner when applying by conventional spray.
We would recommend 402 Damp Proof Coating for your application as this will provide a tough, durable finish as well as dealing with any damp in the substrate. If the concrete is a smooth, polished finish we would recommend the it is prepared with a diamond floor grinder to create a key or alternatively you could use an acid etch to prepare the surface, something like Rust-Oleum Mathys 108 Surfa Etch Solution but this would need to be thoroughly cleaned away with plenty of water before application of the paint system.
Assuming no fire protection is required then bare softwood timber should be primed with Zinsser Cover Stain before applying 2 coats of Zinsser Perma-White Interior which you can have in most RAL & BS colours in either a Matt or an Eggshell finish.
Unfortunately we currently cannot offer a clear anti-climb paint - all anti-climb products we offer are available in a range of standard colours such as Coo-Var Vandelene
We would recommend Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit which is ideal for your application. Each kit comprises a concentrated cleaner, 2 pack epoxy coating, decorative flakes, stir stick, instructions and a DVD making it a simple, user friendly product. If possible, do not apply to smooth/dense concrete, or to concrete containing a curing compound, as this will prevent a good adhesion.
Smartkote Protectakote UVR would be our recommendation however with the addition of Smartkote Protectakote 2K Metal Primer if bare metal and Smartkote Protectakote UVR Accelerator added to the Smartkote Protectakote UVR to speed up drying/curing.
The following table shows approximate drying times of Protectakote UVR at various temperatures with and without the use of accelerator:
| Temperature (°C) | Drying Times | ||
| No Accelerator | 1 Dose | 2 Doses | |
| 23 | 1.5 Hours | 1 Hour | 55 mins |
| 20 | 2 Hours | 1.5 Hours | 55 mins |
| 15 | 2.5 Hours | 2 Hours | 1.5 Hours |
| 10 | 3 Hours | 2.5 Hours | 2 Hours |
| 8 | 4 Hours | 2.5 Hours | 2 Hours |
We do supply this product, it can be viewed/purchased HERE. We do not however know what you are referring to by 'FM approved' - please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] to discuss.
You haven't mentioned which product you are enquiring about here, please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected] to discuss your requirements.
Please see our blog post on Painting the Walls Around a Fireplace or Multi-Fuel Stove for assistance with this enquiry.
Please see our blog post on Painting the Walls Around a Fireplace or Multi-Fuel Stove for assistance with this enquiry.
Teamac Marine Undercoat and Teamac Marine Gloss is a popular choice available in a wide colour range.
Rust-Oleum 5410 Asphalt Repair or Rust-Oleum 5478 Asphalt Restorer. Small pits and fissures can be filled with a stiff mortar consisting of dry sand mixed with Rust-Oleum 5478 Asphalt Restorer. Pits and fissures should be primed with Rust-Oleum 5478 Asphalt Restorer before trowelling in the mortar.
401 Epoxy Floor Primer followed by either 303 Epoxy Floor Paint or 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating.
Glazed tiles must be cleaned and treated with Smartkote Protectakote Clear Primer Treatment for adhesion followed by Smartkote Safekote.
We can provide our fire protection systems in nearly all colours but you will need to advise our Technical Team on what surface you are trying to protection and to which level of fire protection - 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
Assuming bare concrete, and small residentail unit we would suggest 402 Damp Proof Coating.
You haven't advised what level of fire protection you require or the size of your steel but assuming it is a small residential domectic project then Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel would be a good starting point.
If you wish us to confirm this would be suitable we would require the following information;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
Cromadex AQ60 Two Pack Waterbased Polyurethane Topcoat isn't normally overcoated but you can apply another coat after 6 hours and within 14 days. If left longer than 14 days then abrade with either P240 or P320 and clean with Cromadex 678 Spirit Wipe. As the product is very durable and abrasion resistant in its own right, a clear topcoat wouldn't necessarily need be applied.
Jotun previously offered a couple of products which were available in Java Teak but they are no longer available. We would recommend Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) which we can mix in most RAL or BS colours but you would need to view a colour chart to ensure you are happy with the colour before ordering.
Before applying Thermoguard Thermocoat W we would recommend bare mild steel to be primed with Thermoguard High Build Metal Primer. Intumescent paints by nature are very thick so we recommend that the paint be kept in warm conditions prior to application and the paint be mechanically mixed to improve fluidity. We'd also recommend applying a number of thinner coats rather than thick coats to improve the appearance.
We would recommend Rust-Oleum Tarmacoat for this application which can be applied directly to clean and dry tarmac and is available in 2 shades of grey.
We would recommend Jotun Tankguard Storage for this application which is suitable for and resistant to cane molasses up to 50°C.
Unfortunately metal decking is usually too thin for us to be able to provide an intumescent paint system that is able to acheive any level of fire protection.
Acheiving a matt, anthracite grey finish is no problem but getting one product that does all is not possible. Your steel needs to be suitably primed and then you can apply Bollom Brosteel Ultra 60 to acheive the level of fire protection and then Bollom Flameguard Ultra Vinyl Matt to achieve the anthracite grey matt finish.
Thank you for your enquiry, please provide our Technical Department (0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]) with as much of the following information as possible;
- Size of surface area to paint
- Timber thickness
- Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.)
- Type of timber (i.e. pine, mdf, plywood, etc.)
- Type of Timber surface (i.e. T&G, feather edge / shiplap cladding, solid panels / sheets, etc.)
- Use (i.e. floor, wall cladding, ceiling, etc.)
- Bare or previously coated?
Please note we do not export outside the UK.
This depends what product you use, something like Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment would remain effective for the lifetime of the substrate. Please provide our Technical Department (0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]) with as much of the following information as possible;
- Size of surface area to paint
- Timber thickness
- Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.)
- Type of timber (i.e. pine, mdf, plywood, etc.)
- Type of Timber surface (i.e. T&G, feather edge / shiplap cladding, solid panels / sheets, etc.)
- Internal or external
- Use (i.e. floor, wall cladding, ceiling, etc.)
- Clear or coloured coating required?
- Bare or previously coated?
How to get Fire Certification
It’s simple, just keep proof of purchase, batch numbers of the products used along with site details and contact Bollom Customer Services Department on 0191 410 6611 with the information and they will send you the relevant Certificate of Supply within 5 working days.
Rust-Oleum CombiColor is heat resistant up to 90°C (dry heat). We have no experience of this product being used for what you are suggesting but as long as the areas you are intending to paint remain dry and don't come in direct contact with the clothes that will be placed in the drier then it should meet your requirements.
In certain instances where the deck has concrete poured on top, yes. You would need to contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or email [email protected] to discuss your project requirements to gain a definitive answer/specification.
Unfotunately we don't have anything to offer for this at present.
We can offer nearly all RAL, BS and NCS colours apart from fluorescent and metallic shades.
To enable us to recommend the correct product and quantity please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
No, we do not export. We only deliver to addresses in the UK.
You haven't said which paint you're looking at but nearly all our fire protection products come with some form of certification to provide to your authority.
We would recommend Blackfriar Professional Acrylic Floor Paint for this application as it is water based, available in most RAL and BS colours and can be applied directly to clean and dry concrete.
Most of the heat resistant paints we offer are avaialble in only black or aluminium. If you are happy with a metallic aluminium finish then we would recommend Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C for this application.
The concrete must be at least four weeks old, completely dry and free of surface laitance, contaminants, ice, water and previous poorly bonded coatings. Remove grease, oil and all other surface contaminations by alkaline or high pressure (steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. Sand previous coatings which are in good condition to remove gloss and to roughen the surface slightly. A trial area is advisable to test compatibility with previous coatings. Very smooth concrete or concrete with surface laitance (a weak dusty layer) should be abraded or etched with Surfa-Etch 108 to ensure adequate adhesion. The concrete should be thoroughly washed down and allowed to dry after. Powerfloat Epoxy Floor Primer 3366 is recommended on powerfloated surfaces. Below 5°C it may be necessary to avoid processes which involve wetting the floor due to the difficulty in drying. A good sweep or mechanical brushing may be sufficient. Do not apply outside if rainfall is imminent.
Once the above preparation has been carried out, apply 2 coats of Rust-Oleum 9700 Coldmax Rapid (Standard) directly to the surface at 10m² per litre/per coat.
This would mean for 180m² you would require 36 litres in total.
Clean down the area to coat, remove any loose and flaking paint, if back down to bare plaster on any areas prime with Zinsser AllCoat (Solvent-Based). Then apply 2 - 3 coats of Zinsser Perma-White Interior Satin in the colour of your choice. Dries in 2 hours, however we would recommend waiting at least 48 hours before using the dishwasher. Do not scrub the new coating for 7 days.
You haven't advised what product you're enquiring about here, but Rust-Oleum Tarmacoat is a matt finish product suitable for use on concrete driveways.
Our available delivery terms and pricing can be found HERE.
Tor Elastaseal Z systems have external fire exposure roof tests meeting "EXT. F.AA". We would advise you check this is suitable with your authority and if accepted, contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] to obtain a specification for your project.
Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint will take a temperature up to 150°C and is available in a white semi-gloss finish. As we don’t know what actual surface temperature the storage heaters will get up to we can’t say for sure if the paint will be OK on any particular storage heater, it could depend on the model, type etc. You will need to check with the manufacturer to find out what the surface temperature of their particular heater will get to during use. If it is below 150°C then Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint could be used.
All product data sheets are available to download from the 'Attachments' tab on each product page on our website.
We would recommend Zinsser Cover Stain be used to prime the timber once it is clean and dry before applying 2 coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) which is available in most RAL and BS colours. This would offer a 15 year life expectancy.
Thanks for the enquiry, we currently wouldn't have anything we could offer for this application I'm afraid.
Please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] with more information.
Providing you can get the current substrate clean and free from surface contaminants then we would recommend a primer coat of Rust-Oleum 5401 Epoxy Impregnation Primer followed by 2 coats of Rust-Oleum 5500 Solvent Free Epoxy
Removing any fabric treatments that we offer is normally done through a number of washes. We wouldn't have any products we could offer to assist in removal I'm afraid.
You haven't told us what product you are enquiring about here, assuming you are trying to protect steelwork, in order to enable us to provide a specification please provide the following information;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
After preparation (read the product data sheets), we would suggest priming your floor with 402 Damp Proof Coating followed by 503 Easy Clean Anti Slip Coating.
We currently have no enamel paints we could offer for your application due to the required heat resistance within the paint.
We are assuming both panels in question are made from timber, if so please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Size of surface area to paint (for both areas)
- Timber thickness (for both panels)
- Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.)
- Type of timber (i.e. pine, mdf, plywood, etc.)
- Internal or external
- Use (i.e. floor, cupboard door, ceiling, etc.)
- Clear or coloured coating required?
- Bare or previously coated?
We are assuming the sections in question are lightweight galvanised cold rolled sections. Intumescent would not be suitable for this because:
- The steel thicknesses are usually very low giving the section a very high section factor.
- They are strain hardened because of cold rolling which pushes the steel to its yield point to extract the extra strength in steel beyond its elastic range. The yellow book also describes that the limiting temperature for cold rolled steel sections will be lower than that of carbon steel sections.
If this is not the case, please contact our Technical Team to discuss your requirement further on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or email [email protected]
You would need to advise which exact product you are using/intend to use to enable us to be able to comment.
We're assuming you mean old felt here, however our waterproof roof coatings suitable for felt need the roof to be in a sound condition prior to application. If the roof is not safe to be stood on then you presumably would not be able to gain access to carry out the necessary preparation/application of a product and the roof coating would not provide any structural integrity to the roof. Additionally a roof in this state would seemingly need to be replaced rather than overcoated.
Rust-Oleum Universal All Surface Paint should go over a well cured varnish surface no problem without sanding as long as there is no wax or spray polish on the surface. Wiping the surface down with Methylated Spirits would be good preparation. If the varnish is recently applied i.e. less than a month, then a test area should be done first.
Blackfriar Professional Anti Climb Paint is available to buy via our website in 1lt, 2.5lt and 5lt sizes.
Unfortunately we don't have anything for exterior applications to prevent condensation.
We wouldn't recommend a paint at all for this application. It doesn't matter how expensive, this is a very heavy duty category and paints are not just equipped for that. We would instead recommend an epoxy screed such as RSL Resucrete.
This FERFA guide link supports this https://www.ferfa.org.uk/guidance/product-and-applications/
We would need to know what the tank is bening used for - i.e. drinking water, ballast, dirty/grey water, sewage, etc.
Assuming it is a ballast water tank then we would recommend Jotun Jotamastic 90. If this is not the case, please contact our Technical Team with details on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
Jotun Tankguard DW - please download and read all product data sheets from the 'Attachments' tab on the product page before purchase/use. Please note this is a specialist product requiring specific preparation of surfaces and requires professional use/application only.
We would suggest Rust-Oleum 9200 Rust-O-Thane - Remove grease, oil and all other surface contamination using alkaline or high pressure (steam) cleaning in combination with appropriate detergents. Sand previous coatings that are in good condition to remove gloss and to roughen the surface slightly. Assure that the previous coating is compatible with Rust-Oleum 9200 Rust-O-Thane by making a test application. Remove bad adhering coatings by scraping, wire brushing or sanding. (Spot)prime with recommended Rust-Oleum or Mathys coatings. The surface must be clean and dry during application.
Not quite sure what you are asking here but Blackfriar Professional Solar Reflective Paint White may be a good place to start?
Unfortunately we do not have a product that can offer fire protection to glass.
Assuming the roof is aged/weathered and not brand new - after cleaning Rust-Oleum Mathys Noxyde Pegarust can be applied directly in just 2 coats by brush, roller or spray.
Assuming the timber is bare and requires Euroclass B (BS Class 0) Fire Propagation and Spread of Flame fire protection we would suggest Zeroflame Fire Retardant Treatment.
You haven't said which product you're referring to but if it says the minimum order quantity is 50 litres that that will be correct. Assuming it is metal cladding you are wanting to paint, something like Bradite Cladit comes in 5lt tins and has no minimum order quantity.
Thank you for your enquiry, for the steel you have to fire protect we require the following information;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
For the plasterboard areas we require the following;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. Class 1, Class 0, 30, 60, etc.)
- Use of area (i.e. wall, ceiling, etc.)
- Size of area to coat (in square metres)
The only product for worktops we do is Rust-Oleum Worktop Transformation Kit.
The only product we offer for use on shower floors is Smartkote Safekote.
Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C is only available in black or aluminium colours.
Unfortunatley not sorry.
We do not ship outside of the UK.
Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C may be OK but you would have to test an area and ensure it is not in direct contact with flames or food.
Cromadex 233 One Pack Air Drying Alkyd Topcoat can be produced in nearly all RAL and BS colours and in matt, eggshell, semi-gloss and gloss finishes.
Slurry can be quite aggressive and we would normally prefer a tank lining like Jotun Tankguard Storage to be used, however this requires dry abrasive blast cleaning to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) using abrasive media suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile. If that can’t be achieved, we could only suggest Jotun Jotamstic 87 applied at 200um DFT followed by 100um DFT of Jotun Tankguard Storage.
For occasional use we would recommend 501 Anti Slip Floor Paint, for heavier/more frequent use we would suggest Smartkote Protectakote UVR.
After cleaning and preparation patch prime any bare metal areas (assuming non-ferrous) with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion, then apply 2 coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor in the colour and finish of your choice to all areas.
Thank you for your enquiry, please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
This will need repairing/replacing immediately. It is important to seek the manufacturer's advice of the intumescent system that is currently on the steel in order to ensure repairs are carried out in accordance with their requirements to ensure the fire protection is maintained.
Hydron Nu-Guard AG would be suitable for this application and is available in white.
Unfortuantely we do not offer samples of this product.

We do not supply fire doors, only fire retardant paints/varnishes and fire door accessories. All of which can be found HERE.
Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C would be our suggestion to try but this must not be subject to direct contact with flames.
Thank you for your enquiry, please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Size of surface area to paint
- Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.)

We would recommend Smartkote Protectakote UVR with the addition of Smartkote Protectakote Safety Grip.
We would recommend Eagle Quick Drying Bitumen Primer followed by Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect.
We would recommend priming with Zanders PF59 Stain Blocking Primer Finish, then finishing with Wethertex OT25 Wood-Flex Satin Opaque Timber Paint in RAL 7012 Basalt Grey.
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) can be applied directly to cleaned, aged uPVC without the need of a primer and is available in almost any colour.
You can see the products we can offer for upgrading the fire resistance of doors HERE.
However, although we can supply certificates for most of our fire protection coatings (inlcuding the ones for doors) it is ultimately up to your authority to approve the use of the products for your projects and if, in this instance they do not wish to entertain anything other than complete replacement of your doors with manufactured fire doors there is nothing we can do to override this decision.
The Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) range would be something to consider, these products offer 15yr performance and are available in nearly any colour and in matt, satin or gloss finishes.
we would suggest Coo-Var Anti-Slip Acrylic Floor Paint for this application.
Our sales team can handle returns for you, they can be contacted on 0113 2455450 (option 1) or [email protected]
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) can be applied directly to cleaned, aged uPVC without the need of a primer and is available in almost any colour and size.
Hydron Nu-Flame Synthetic & Fabric Protector, Envirograf 3-2-1 Standard Fire Retardant Liquid and Bollom Flamebar PE6 all mention curtains as a suitable substrate. Estimated coverage rates can be found in the Technical Data Sheet for each product available to download from the 'Attachments' tab on each product page.
Assuming you just wish to decorate the board with improving or hindering the current level of fire protection it affords we would recommend Thermoguard Wallcoat Smoke & Flame Retardant Topcoat.
Unfortunately we would have nothing that would meet these requirements for your application.
Assuming compatibility we would suggest considering Teamac P101 High Performance Finish.
Generally for this age of galvanised steel on a roof we would suggest washing down with Rust-Oleum Mathys ND14 Cleaner Degreaser then Rust-Oleum Mathys 108 Surfa Etch Solution followed by Rust-Oleum Mathys Noxyde or Rust-Oleum Mathys Noxyde Pegarust.
However, it seems that the reactions being reported after just two weeks are highly unusual, this deterioration after just two weeks is definitely not normal and we would recommend seeking advice from the installers/manufacturers to gain more information of possible causes and remedies.
Rust-Oleum CombiColor Aerosols are available in a gold metallic gloss finish, suitable up to 90°C (dry heat), at elevated temperatures discoloration may occur.
We're not quite sure what products you're referring to here but assuming it is fire retardant products. Most of these products come with a certificate application form which can be completed and returned by the applicator after use, a Certificate of Supply is then issued.
How about something like 506 Anti Slip Dressing
We would recommend considering Thermoguard Timbercoat BS Class 1/0 & EN Class B System or Thermoguard Timbercoat 30 & 60 Minute System depending on the level of fire protection required.
No, unfortunately not, all intumescent coatings for steel are coloured. We usually recommend Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel for small domestic projects as this is available in small pack sizes in almost any colour.
We would suggest Teamac Stable Paint.
No, this is not something the manufacturer offers.
Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect is a liquid elastomeric waterproofing membrane, reinforced with microfibers and high aluminium content. Used for waterproofing most types of roof surfaces to include galvanised steel, iron zinc, asbestos, cement, roofing felt, asphalt, bituminous roof coatings and anticorrosion to exposed metal structures such as storage tanks, pipes and cladding and it is highly recommended for industrial units and warehouses.
After suitable cleaning and preparation (observe local regulations), apply 1 coat of Eagle Quick Drying Bitumen Primer followed by Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect at a rate of 1-2 litres per square metre by brush or spray.
Assuming 30min protection is required, Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel is a popular choice for these small, domestic projects.
Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint will take a temperature up to 150°C and is available in a white semi-gloss finish. As we don’t know what actual surface temperature the storage heater will get up to we can’t say for sure if the paint will be OK on any particular storage heater, it could depend on the model, type etc. You will need to check with the manufacturer to find out what the surface temperature of their particular heater will get to during use. If it is below 150°C then Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint could be used.
Matt black would be very similar to a chalk board effect so would mark extremely easily, be difficult to clean, etc.
Instead we would recommend a Semi-Gloss finish with something like Bradite Poly Lacquer.
Assuming this is a small, local sports centre or similar, our 503 Easy Clean Anti Slip Coating has been used for similar applications assuming the floor is currently bare concrete.
We would need to know details of the proposed pigments to check compatibility before we could make a recommendation. If you have this information please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
Thank you for your enquiry, please provide us with an image of the door(s) (if possible) and as much information as possible for the below points;
- Level of Fire Protection required? (i.e. 30min, 60min, etc.)
- Style of door? (i.e. panelled, ledge & brace, etc.)
- Solid or hollow core? - (please note we cannot provide anything to upgrade hollow doors)
- Door size? (height and width)
- Door thickness? (include thickness at thinnest point (i.e. panel))
- Number of doors to do?
- Clear or coloured finish required?
- Bare or previously painted?
Prior to application of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based) on bare wood you should first prime with Zinsser Cover Stain.
If you could provide a photo to [email protected] we can advise best options.
GacoPro Roof Coating can be applied directly to GRP, clean and apply 2 coats.
Assuming the level of fire protection required is 30 minute, Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel is very popular for small domestic projects.
We would need to know whether the bi-folds were timber or metal, if metal no. If timber, we could potentially provide a product to apply to the wooden elements of the door to improve the fire rating but we would assume the glass in the bi-folds is not fire rated so this would need replacing also. So the answer is most likely not cost effectively.
There isn't a generic answer to this. It would depend on which epoxy product was used, how many coats, level of traffic on the floor, etc.
Assuming you require Solar Reflective properties from the paint, GacoPro Roof Coating can be applied directly to cleaned and prepared fibreglass and is available in Solar Reflective White.
Thank you for your enquiry, to enable us to be able to answer your question, please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Size of surface area to paint
- Timber thickness
- Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.)

- Internal or external
- Use (i.e. floor, wall cladding, ceiling, etc.)
- Clear or coloured coating required?
- Bare or previously coated?
This is definitely something we can help with but very much depends on what your boat is made from and what you currently have on the surface?
We can issue a certificate of supply with nearly all our fire protection products for timber. We can offer anything from 3-5 working day delivery right up to next day AM delivery on these products.

Britannia Clearshield Eco would be our recommendation for this. For special pricing on bulk quantity orders, please contact our sales team on 0113 2455450 or [email protected]
You haven't mentioned a product but for pitched, corrugated asbestos roofs we usually recommend Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect which is a liquid elastomeric waterproofing membrane, reinforced with microfibers and high aluminium content. Used for waterproofing most types of roof surfaces to include galvanised steel, iron zinc, asbestos, cement, roofing felt, asphalt, bituminous roof coatings and anticorrosion to exposed metal structures such as storage tanks, pipes and cladding and it is highly recommended for industrial units and warehouses.
After suitable cleaning and preparation (observe local regulations), apply 1 coat of Eagle Quick Drying Bitumen Primer, followed by Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect.
Based on 18m² (20ftx10ft) you would require 1 x 5lt Eagle Quick Drying Bitumen Primer + 1 x 25lt Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect.
Thank you for your question, we'd need to know some further details before being able to advise - please contact our Technical Department on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
Sikafloor 2540W is not recommended for use on timber.
We have a blog post on Painting the Walls around a Fireplace or Multi Fuel Stove which we would suggest reading for advice before making a decision.
We would recommend Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel, however as your steel has more than just a compatible primer on, this would all need removing back to bare steel, and suitably priming before application of the Aquasteel system.
Thank you for your enquiry, you would need to contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] to discuss this enquiry in more detail.
Wethertex AP77 Flexible Smooth Masonry Paint is a highly breathable exterior masonry paint, however as you have suggested, if the existing paint isn't breathable and you intend to paint over the top of this then there may be little benefit.
Fire protection would almost certainly be required here however specifics would need to be sought from the local authority to the projects. Once this advice has been gained, we would need to know the following to provide details on the best product(s) to use;
- Dimensions of joists
- Length of joists
- Number of joists
- Level of Fire Protection required (Class 1, Class 0, 30min, 60min, etc.)
- Type of timber (i.e. pine, oak, CLT, etc.)
- Internal or external
- Clear or coloured coating required?
- Bare or previously coated?
We would recommend the following;
- Break out defective concrete
- Remove any loose/friable material
- Clean all corroded steel to SA2.5 (bright steel)
- Immediately apply a layer of Sika MonoTop 610 to cleaned steel
- Once 1st coat has stiffened (circa 30mins), apply 2nd coat of Sika MonoTop 610 to steel and surrounding broken out concrete, ensuring an even coat to all broken out areas.
- Once stiffened and matted off, build the repair section back up using Sika MonoTop 612 (for all structural repairs) or Sika MonoTop 615 (where no structural requirements are needed).
- For any small blowholes/pin holes a skim coat of Sika MonoTop 620 could be applied.
Datasheets for each product containing specific application guidelines etc. can be downloaded from the links provided above under the 'Attachments' tab.
We'd need to know what your kitchen floor currently is - i.e. tiles, wood, concrete, etc? Please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or email [email protected] to discuss.
We've produced a Blog on Painting the Walls around a Fireplace or Multi Fuel Stove which should contain all the information you require on this application.
It sounds like maybe you're wanting a solar reflective paint here instead of heat resistant? Either way we would need some more details on your requirements so please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or email them on [email protected]
Unfortunately we don't have any high temperature paint available in a gold colour.
After cleaning, we recommend priming with Zinsser B-I-N followed by Zinsser Perma-White Interior in the colour and finish of your choice.
Assuming the sign has an existing, intact coating on we would suggest Blackfriar Enamel Paint which comes in a range of colours including Black and White. If the surface is to be bare aluminium to be painted we would suggest priming with Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion followed by Rust-Oleum CombiColor.
We're not quite sure what you're asking here with 'parting' walls but Rust-Oleum Mathys Murfill Waterproofing Coating may be a good place to start.
Assuming existing paint is sound and well adhered, simply clean and lightly abrade to provide a key and apply 2-3 coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) in the colour and finish of your choice - no undercoat/primer required. Any areas of bare wood should first be primed with Zinsser Cover Stain.
We would require some more information before being able to offer the most suitable product, such as;
- How you are going to prepare the substrate (e.g. hand/power tool or abrasive blasting)?
- Insulated or uninsulated pipes?
- Applied to hot substrate? - If so, what max temp the coating will be applied at?
Please provide the answers to the above questions to our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
For small domestic applications like this, Bedec Super-Flex has been used sucessfully previously.
Thank you for your enquiry, to enable us to be able to advise please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
Assuming the timber is currently bare we would recommend Thermoguard Thermoproof Interior Fluid followed by Thermoguard Thermoproof Interior Sealer in the white effect colour and finish of your choice.
Unfortunately we currently don't have a product that would be able to provide any level of fire protection to this type of floor surface.
We would suggest considering Rust-Oleum Epoxyshield Garage Floor Coating Kit, once painted we would advise laying protective mats on the floor surface over any areas where heavy equipment will be stood, lifted, dropped, dragged, etc. to preserve the floor/paint system under these extreme stresses.
Rust-Oleum CombiColor would be our suggestion if the aluminium has a previous coating to all areas which is sound, well adhered, etc. Assuming the project is small domestic project, simply clean, lightly sand and apply CombiColor in the desired colour and finish.
We would suggest a THOROUGH de-rust to remove all rust, failing existing coatings, etc. Then spot prime with Rust-Oleum 9169 Epoxy Rust Primer on areas of bare clean metal, followed by Rust-Oleum 9100 High Performance Epoxy and finally Rust-Oleum 9200 Rust-O-Thane.
Thermoguard Thermostrip PRO has been used previously to remove intumescent coatings easily.
Yes this product has been used for this type of application previously on small, residential projects and worked well.
Unfortunately not, we're not aware of any clear fire protection coating for steel on the market currently.
If a coloured paint system is acceptable, please provide us with as much of the following information as possible;
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Bedec Super-Flex has been used for application to this type of conservatory roof before on small, domestic projects to provide solar reflectivity and waterproofing properties but it would not offer any sound proofing qualities.
Assuming all tarmac will be removed and the concrete subfloor prepared in accordance with the manufacturer recomendations, Sika SikaScreed Rapid-75 could be considered.
Please see our blog post Painting the Walls around a Fireplace or Multi Fuel Stove
Could you advise the exact product names of these thinners please as we have over 117 thinners/solvents listed on the website?
Orders would be placed via our website and we deliver nationwide via FedEx - Assuming this is a small residential, interior project that requires 30min protection we would normally suggest Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 30min System for Steel.
Assuming the paint doesn't have to be food safe and temperatures wouldn't get above 90°C (dry heat), Rust-Oleum CombiColor is available in a Satin Black finish and can be applied in conjunction with a suitable primer - Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion for ferrous metals and Rust-Oleum 3302 CombiPrimer Adhesion for non-ferrous.
After cleaning and preparation of these surfaces as per the manufacturers instructions you could apply either Envirograf Door Upgrade Paint System or Envirograf Door Upgrade Varnish System using the primer included in the kits.
Assuming you wish to mark/highlight the edges of steps, ledges, stairways, etc. we would suggest considering Heskins Reflective Tape.
We have had good results with similar projects with Hydron Nu-Guard AG. We also suggest trying a sample area to test for compatibility, appearance, etc.
Sikagard 62 or Jotun Tankguard DW have been used by other customers for this type of application previously.
Products such as Rust-Oleum 7200 Floorcoat PU and Rust-Oleum Mathys Pegakote are two examples of floor paints we do that are available to tint in nearly any colour other than fluorescent or metallics.
It would depend on the size, use and traffic level of the floor area but something like 304 HD Epoxy Floor Coating would be a good place to start. I would suggest contacting our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] to discuss further.
I'm not sure which paint was exactly recommended to you but we have had other customers use Rust-Oleum CombiColor for this type of application and achieve very good results.
You haven't advised what level of fire protection you require but assuming it is BS Class 1, 0 or EN Class B we would recommend Thermoguard Timbercoat BS Class 1/0 & EN Class B System.
Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint will take a temperature up to 150°C and is available in a white semi-gloss finish. As we don’t know what actual surface temperature the storage heater will get up to we can’t say for sure if the paint will be OK on any particular storage heater, it could depend on the model, type etc. You will need to check with the manufacturer to find out what the surface temperature of their particular heater will get to during use. If it is below 150°C then Blackfriar Quick Drying Radiator Paint could be used.
We would suggest Hydron Nu-Guard AG.
No, but you could paint the surface with a suitable normal paint to give it the appearance you want and then finish it with the clear Hydron Nu-Guard AG to provide the graffiti protection.
Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C may be suitable assuming it would not be subject to direct flame contact, but you would have to check adhesion to the existing surface you wish to paint to ensure it is adequate by carrying out a small test with the product before doing the whole area.
We'd need some more information here, why are you wanting to paint it - for fire protection, to hide the effect of the wallpaper, simply to decorate and change colour, etc.
Please contact our Technical Team with more detail on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected]
Assuming the surface is dry at the moment you would need to prime the quarry tiles with SCHÖNOX SHP and then level out with SCHÖNOX XA and then install your vinyl using SCHÖNOX EMICLASSIC.
We would recommend using Envirograf Woodfiller.
Thank you for your enquiry, assuming the steels are in an internal, dry environment and have a minimum wall thickness of 4mm I calculate you have approximately 1.8m² of surface area to coat. For this you would require 4.5 litres of Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ to achieve 30min protection - https://www.rawlinspaints.com/home/fire-retardant-paints/steel-intumescent-paint/272-zeroflame-aquasteel-wb.html
Assuming the steel is currently just suitably primed, once the Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ has been applied, if the steel is to remain visible you should finish with Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ Finish in the colour and finish of your choice - https://www.rawlinspaints.com/home/fire-retardant-paints/flame-retardant-topcoats/851-zeroflame-aquasteel-wb-topcoat.html - just 2.5 litres of this would be required.
Upon completion you simply peel the label of the basecoat tin and complete the certificate application form. Once submitted a certificate will be returned to you and this is what you can give to the client/authority.

Please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) to discuss your project and advise which chemicals at what temperature and concentration you would need the coating to be resistant to.
Sorry, we're not sure what you're asking here - please contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) to discuss.
Assuming it needs to be food safe, unfortunately we wouldn't have anything for this application.
Please see our blog; Painting the Walls around a Fireplace or Multi Fuel Stove
We're not familiar with 'Panguanetta plywood' but assuming it is just a normal fire rated plywood Thermoguard Smoke & Flame Retardant Dualcoat in clear could be used to seal and maintain the current level of fire protection. Eggshell finish is advisable as matt can appear cloudy in certain instances over darker substrates.
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) would be our recommendation. This can be applied directly to the uPVC after cleaning and a light sand and the same for the aluminium if it is previously coated with something. If it is bare aluminium, first prime with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3.
You could try Hydron AG2 Graffiti Remover which is specially-formulated for use on sensitive surfaces, such as plastic, signs and polycarbonate glazing. There would be no guarantees however it would be our only suggestion.
Unfortunately we wouldn't have anything suitable for this application.
Please see Zeroflame Aquasteel WB+ 60min System for Steel.
Rust-Oleum Heat Resistant Paint 750°C can be applied to various metal surfaces but colour range is limited to Black or Aluminium and it is not to be over painted.
You haven't mentioned which product you're looking at, but you can see the paints we recommend to provide additional fire protection to doors HERE.
In order to answer this question we would need you to provide our technical team ([email protected]) with as much of the following information as possible;
- Level of fire protection required (i.e. 30, 60, 90min, etc.)
- Each steel section dimension (i.e. 254x146x37 UB)
- Quantity and length of each section (or overall meterage for each section)
- Orientation (horizontal or vertical)
- Number of sides to be painted (all sides, 3 sides, 1 flange, etc.)
- Environment (internal, external, car park, chemical exposure, etc.)
- Application on site or in shop
Alternatively you can just forward us drawings, fabrication/cutting lists and we'll extract the information from them but in that instance we'd need some guidance as to what to allow for i.e. all steels on first floor, etc.
Could you please advise what level of fire protection you need to achieve and what colour you would like?
Zinsser Cover Stain followed by Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) in Matt, Satin or Gloss finish in the colour of your choice. This system will provide an excellent 15 year performance.
Rust-Oleum Speed Screed can be used externally.
Assuming the area will receive foot traffic only, we would recommend Coo-Var Suregrip Anti-Slip Floor Paint. Prime the concrete with 10% thinned Coo-Var Floor Paint or Coo-Var Alkali Resisting Primer Sealer first.
Rust-Oleum CombiColor is frequently used for these type of DIY vehicle renovation projects however it is not OK to be applied over a wrap, it must be onto existing paint or primed metal only.
We would suggest instead Rust-Oleum 9700 Coldmax Rapid (Standard) with Rust-Oleum Non-Skid Additive NS 200 included.
After cleaning, we would suggest priming the roof with either Britannia One Pack Etch Primer or Britannia Zinc Phosphate Metal Primer depending on whether the metal is ferrous or not and then coating with Britannia Aquashield High Build.
Blackfriar Professional High Traffic Floor Paint with anti-slip aggregate added.
Cromadex 222 One Pack Fast Air Drying Alkyd Topcoat can be used for powdercoat touch-up. It comes in Touch-Up Sticks, Aerosols and tins of paint.
You would need to seek advice from the manufacturer of the poured resin as to what paints are compatible over their product. If you can provide our Technical Team with their response on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] we can further advise.
Assuming the existing paint is sound and well adhered you could simply clean and lightly sand and apply Rust-Oleum CombiColor in the colour and finish of your choice.
We would suggest Rust-Oleum Mathys Noxyde Pegarust, this can be applied directly to weathered galv after cleaning and degreasing - two coats must be applied though, not one.
Faq Sections
We have no experience of this but we wouldn't recommend it.
I would assume from the description that this is a metal substrate? If so our initial suggestion would be Rust-Oleum Mathys Noxyde. If you contact our Technical Team on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or [email protected] with some further information - size, images, etc. then they would be able to provide a more detailed specification for your project.
We would recommend applying Thermilate InsOpaint Anti-Condensation Paint. Thoroughly clean down the surface, lightly sand to remove the sheen on the existing paint and apply 2 - 3 coats. This can then be left as a finish or over painted with your own paint/colour if required.

There are vast types of paints available for all sorts of specialist projects. We have tried to simplify your search on our website with comprehensive categories and sub-categories.
If there is a specific paint or use you are looking for, you can also use the ‘Search’ tool which will prompt/suggest products you may be looking for.
Each header has a dropdown box, and then each category has further subcategories that appear to the right when the cursor is hovered over the category name.
We have a designated ‘Wood Finishes’ category under ‘Paints & Coatings that categorises further into:
- • Wood preparation
- • Interior wood finishes
- • Exterior wood finishes
- • Wood floor finishes
- • Decking paint
We stock a comprehensive range of wood varnishes, stains, oils, protective finishes, and wood paint for both interior and exterior uses – pretty much every project you can think of is covered by a product in our range. Whatever you need, we can provide advice on the best wood finish to use, from heavy duty floor varnish to opaque wood paint, decking oil to Danish oil, and water-based or solvent-based.
A primer is a preparatory product. It creates an extra layer between your paint and the substrate, helping it last longer, bond better and often smoothing out the surface for optimum lifespan and performance. To look at it a different way, makeup primers are used for the same purpose in cosmetics!
Primers can also be used to add more specific extra protection, such as using a UV primer, a waterproofing primer or a penetrating primer.
