The main contractor of The Wetlands Trust HQ approached CIS to access our knowledge on Intumescent Coatings, to provide Class O Surface Spread of Flame (BS476 Part 6 1987) to the ashed faced boarding in their new Head Quarters.

The college architect approached CIS after previous installation problems, as a valued consultant to advise them on upgrading of various flat, raised and fielded panel doors, on various staircases.
The approved specification was to apply Envirograf ES/MP/FC Intumescent Fire Card, to flat panel doors and Envirograf ES/RFC Coating System to raised and fielded panel doors. The benefits of these two systems was to provide the required 30 minutes fire integrity (BSA76 Part 22 1987) and still maintain the features.
Not only did CIS provide the specification but we were also able to offer our Specialist Application Service which included the fitting of Intumescent Fire and Smoke Seals and Hinge Protection. Therefore insuring peace of mind as we were able to produce Full Fire Certification upon completion.

We couldn't provide protection between the joists because the premises above where in constant use. The solution we provided was to apply Envirograf S/Ceramic Intumescent Paper System bonded to the ceiling using CA/N adhesive and EP/CP Plaster Board Coating to the decorative coving and ceiling rose
This system not only provided the necassary fire protection but also gave 60 minute insulation and load bearing to BS476 Part 21.

After a long working relationship with the hospitals architects Capita, CIS worked in conjunction with them to provide our expertise and specialist consultation services for the new build of the hospital.
We were able to provide not only Intumescent Fire Tents and Down Lighter Covers to recessed light fittings, but also to pipes and services passing through fire rated partitions in the plant room. One problem we faced was that many of the pipes were fixed closly together and indivdual fire protection was not possible. The solution was to provide Envirograf EB Intumescent Boxes to acheive 60 minute fire integrity to BS476 Part 20 +22 1987, some of which was manufactured specially to fit 2 or 3 pipes.
