The Nu-Flame Fire Upgrade paint system has been developed for the over-coating of multi layered paints for communal areas such as stairwell, corridors and lift lobbies 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 Walls and Ceilings package is comprised of the Heat Insulating Basecoat and a topcoat of your choice, depending on the finish required. The Matt finish is typically used for ceilings.

Product Case Uses

• Homes - A fire in the home not only destroys possessions, it destroys memories and things that cannot be replaced. Add to that the hassle and pain of dealing with the insurance company and being homeless, protecting plaster walls and ceilings from fire damage is a very sensible move.
• 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 that serve to increase the spread of flame, making the need for flame-retardant walls or the more relevant.
• 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.
