Cementitious Fireproofing in Mississauga
Spray-applied fireproofing for commercial and industrial steel
Cementitious fireproofing is a cement-based, spray-applied material used to protect structural steel where the finished appearance of the steel isn’t a priority: above a suspended ceiling, in a mechanical space, or in an industrial building where the steel will remain concealed or utilitarian. Foamworks applies cementitious fireproofing to meet the fire-resistance ratings specified for a building’s structural steel.

Why cementitious systems are common at commercial and industrial scale
Cementitious fireproofing can be applied efficiently across large areas of steel, which makes it a common choice in commercial and industrial buildings with extensive structural steel that won’t be visible in the finished space. It’s typically more economical at scale than intumescent coatings, though it doesn’t offer the same finished, paintable appearance.
What the job involves
Surface preparation, correct material thickness, and full coverage at connections all affect whether a cementitious system delivers its rated performance. Foamworks applies material to the thickness specified for the project’s required fire-resistance rating and coordinates with other trades to schedule the work before the steel is concealed by ceilings or other finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions
It can be more prone to damage from impact than intumescent coatings in high-traffic or high-vibration areas, which is something Foamworks discusses during project planning where relevant.
No, it’s typically left as-is where it will be concealed behind a ceiling or wall finish, since appearance isn’t the priority in those locations.
This depends on the condition and type of existing coating. Foamworks assesses the surface before recommending an approach.
