Fireproof Coatings for Timber and Wood-Based Materials
Fireproof paints for wood help improve the reaction to fire of timber, MDF, plywood and other wood-based boards. These coatings reduce flame spread and surface ignitability, contributing to safer environments in homes, workplaces, and public buildings. They are widely used to improve fire performance where traditional building materials are used, helping to meet Class 0 or Class 1 performance ratings under BS 476.
Available in both clear and coloured options, fire-retardant coatings are often used on wall linings, ceiling boards, cladding, and decorative timber features. In escape routes and circulation spaces, these coatings help prevent flashover, making evacuation safer. They are also specified for use in door upgrade kits, helping extend the fire resistance of existing internal doors when installed correctly.
Products are available as intumescent systems that swell in a fire or as ablative coatings that release fire-suppressing gases. Both types are reliant on correct application and compatibility with the substrate. Performance varies depending on the wood type - hardwoods such as oak perform better than softwoods like pine. For best results, surfaces should be clean, properly prepared, and applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications or as part of certified upgrade systems.
Fireproof Paint for Wood FAQs
Can fireproof paint be used on MDF or plywood?
Yes, many fireproof paints are formulated for use on wood-based boards such as MDF, plywood, and chipboard. However, you must check the product’s technical datasheet to confirm compatibility. Some products may require a primer or sealer first, depending on the substrate’s porosity. For composite or engineered boards, application thickness and system build-up are crucial to meet the required fire rating. Where the surface has been pre-treated or previously painted, a compatibility test is recommended before full application.
Do I need a topcoat over fire-retardant paint?
Some fire-retardant paints require a compatible topcoat for durability, moisture resistance, or decorative finish. In certain systems, a topcoat is essential to protect the fire-retardant layer, particularly in areas of high humidity or regular cleaning. However, using the wrong topcoat may compromise fire performance. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ensure any topcoat has been tested as part of the certified fire protection system. Never use standard decorative paints over fire-retardant coatings unless explicitly permitted by the manufacturer.
How do I know if a coating meets UK fire safety standards?
To meet UK building regulations, fire-retardant paints must pass BS 476 Parts 6 and 7 for Class 0 or Class 1 classification. The manufacturer should provide valid fire test data showing results on the specific wood substrate used. Ideally, this will include third-party certification or assessments that confirm the system’s compliance. Always check for documentation that states the exact build-up and conditions of the test. If there’s any uncertainty, request clarification before proceeding with specification or installation.
Will fireproof paint make timber completely non-combustible?
No, fireproof paints do not make timber non-combustible. These coatings reduce the surface’s contribution to fire, delay ignition, and slow flame spread, helping to meet performance requirements for reaction to fire. However, they do not alter the fundamental combustibility of the wood itself. Fire-retardant coatings are part of a wider passive fire protection strategy and should be used alongside compartmentation, fire doors, and other systems designed to contain and control fire in a building.
