The Nu-Flame Fire Upgrade paint system has been developed for the over-coating of multi layered paints without the need to strip the current paint. Removing the existing paint system is expensive, time consuming and can be a health hazard when working in a confined space such as a corridor. The Nu-Flame fire retardant paint system reduces the need for chemical stripping of the walls. Nu-Flame is a water based system which presents no health hazards and reduced odours during the application.

This Timber pack is comprised of a white intumescent undercoat and colour gloss topcoat.

Product Case Uses

• Homes - In addition to skirting boards, homes also have timber doors. In the event of fire, it is important to buy as much time as possible to escape. Applying the Nu-Flame FR system will give your doors and other timber finishes more resilience to flames, giving you more time to escape through windows should the unimaginable happen.
• Offices - With a plethora of IT equipment, telephony and paper-jamming printers, and of course the office coffee machine, this all adds up to a possible risk of fire. Even at time when businesses are going as paper-free as possible, there is still more than enough reports, invoices and legal docs which serve to spread flames quicker and easier.
• Cafe - Preparing hot food and drinks comes with the obvious risk of fire. We've all seen the adverts in the past of chip pans going up in flames, and whilst chip pans may be a thing of yesteryear, cafes still have plenty of fire risks that must be taken seriously, especially since they will be serving members of the public.
