Flame retardant paints from Crown Trade's Timonox range have been applied in five schools in Edinburgh. These paints were specified for their high performance at minimising the spread of flame, as well as for durability. The stairwell, corridors and dining areas of one school were painted in Timonox Acrylic Eggshell to ensure safe escape routes.

Timonox flame retardant paint systems from Crown Trade helped slow the spread of flames when fire broke out on the top floor of a high rise block in Derby. Applied to the communal areas of the tower, the product prevented damage occurring even though plastic information signs curled in the heat. The range is one of only a few products to meet new European fire test standards in addition to the current set of UK Building Regulation requirements. Providing passive fire protection which creates extra time for escape, the company's Timonox Vinyl Matt was specified for the ceilings, Timonox Acrylic Eggshell for the walls and Acrylic Satin for the woodwork, which was used on the corridors and stairwells of the tower block.
