Protect Your Structural Integrity with Certified Cementitious Fireproofing (SFRM)
Are you looking for a reliable Division 07 subcontractor to keep your commercial project on schedule and in strict compliance with life-safety codes? Our professional Spray-Applied Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRM) services in the Atlanta metropolitan area deliver the high-volume production and technical accuracy your project demands. Whether you need full-scale structural steel coverage or precise patching for trade-damaged areas, we provide certified, inspection-ready applications.
What is Cementitious Fireproofing (SFRM)?
Cementitious fireproofing, or Spray-Applied Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRM), consists of a gypsum- or cement-based formulation applied to structural steel elements using high-yield pumping equipment. Engineered to insulate structural steel columns, beams, and metal decking against intense heat, SFRM delays structural failure during a fire event. This application methodology ensures uniform thickness and seamless coverage across complex structural framing and hard-to-reach commercial assemblies.
Key Advantages for General Contractors
- Verified UL Design & IBC Compliance: Every application is executed in strict accordance with specified UL designs, keeping your project fully aligned with International Building Code requirements.
Rapid Mobilization & High-Volume Output: Equipped with commercial-grade rigs and experienced crews, we deliver the production speed necessary to hit your milestones without delaying overlapping trades.
Expert Fireproofing Patching & Repair: Other trades inevitably scrape or damage fireproofing during MEP rough-ins. We provide fast, code-compliant patching and repair services to restore structural hourly ratings before final inspection.
Cost-Effective Structural Protection: Low- and medium-density cementitious formulas offer the most budget-conscious, high-performance fire protection solution for concealed steel assemblies.
Inspection-Ready Installation: We install to precise mil-thickness specifications, ensuring your third-party testing agency and municipal inspectors can verify and approve the work without costly callbacks.
When Does Your Project Require an SFRM Upgrade or Patching Review?
Maintaining schedule momentum requires catching scope gaps early. Here are the key indicators that it is time to coordinate submittals or schedule an on-site evaluation with our team:
Post-Trade Damage (Need for Patching): Ductwork, electrical conduit, and plumbing installations frequently dislodge existing fireproofing. We patch these areas to bring the assembly back into UL compliance.
Architectural Addenda or Structural Revisions: Changes to building occupancy classifications, structural steel sizes, or floor-ceiling assemblies altered the required hourly fire ratings.
Scope Gaps in Division 07 Coverage: If your primary fireproofing resource lacks the high-volume equipment or manpower required for large-scale decking, we can step in to secure your timeline.
Renovations or Adaptive Reuse Projects: Older commercial structures undergoing structural alterations frequently require existing fireproofing to be repaired, patched, or completely upgraded to meet modern IBC life-safety standards.
Tight Bidding and Estimating Deadlines: Need reliable trade coverage for an active RFP? We provide fast, accurate takeoffs directly from your architectural plans to keep your bid competitive.
Our Commercial Submittals & Application Process
Plan Review & UL Matching: Our estimating team analyzes your architectural blueprints to match project specifications with the correct, approved UL design criteria.
Site Preparation & Substrate Testing: We inspect structural steel for proper priming, bond compatibility, and coordination with overlapping MEP trades.
High-Volume Application or Precision Patching: Utilizing professional-grade pumping equipment or specialized patching techniques, our certified crews apply SFRM evenly to the specified thickness.
Quality Control & Verification: We self-check application depth throughout the process, leaving the site fully prepared and compliant for your third-party testing inspectors.
