Commercial Fireproofing in Mississauga
Fire protection systems for offices, warehouses, and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings — offices, warehouses, retail, and mixed-use developments — typically have code-required fire-resistance ratings for structural steel and certain assemblies, based on the building’s occupancy and use classification under the Ontario Building Code. Foamworks provides both intumescent and cementitious fireproofing systems for commercial construction and retrofit projects.

Coordinating fireproofing with a commercial build schedule
Fireproofing needs to happen at a specific point in a commercial build: after structural steel is erected, but before it’s concealed by ceilings, drywall, or other finishes. Foamworks coordinates with the general contractor to schedule this work in the same window used for other structural trades, avoiding delays to the rest of the project.
New construction versus existing commercial buildings
New commercial construction gives full access to structural steel before other trades conceal it. Existing commercial buildings sometimes need fireproofing upgrades or repairs, whether due to renovation, a change in occupancy classification, or damage to existing fireproofing. This work is more involved since it usually means opening up ceilings or wall assemblies to access steel that’s already concealed.

Frequently Asked Questions
The building’s architect or structural engineer specifies the required fire-resistance ratings based on Ontario Building Code requirements for the occupancy and use.
It can, if the new use has different fire-resistance requirements than the original design. This is typically identified during a building permit or occupancy change review.
Fireproofing is generally inspected for thickness and coverage before it’s concealed, since verifying it afterward is far more difficult and disruptive.
