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.
Flame retardant paints from Crown Trade's Timonox range have been applied in a refurbishment at a school in Derbyshire to ensure fire safety.
The company's Timonox acrylic eggshell and vinyl matt products were applied to slow down the spread of flames by eliminating the elements of fire growth - oxygen, heat and fuel.
Properties in Derby have been applied with Akzo Nobel's Sandtex Trade FlexiGloss X-tra and Classic Stone Gloss on the exterior and Crown Trade Timonox Acrylic Eggshell on the communal areas inside. The exterior paints provided repair and protection from graffiti and algae due to self cleaning properties whilst the interior paints provided a flame retardant coating that meets European fire test standards.
Flame retardant finishes and paints from the Crown Trade Timonox range have been specified to decorate communal areas of two nine-storey blocks of flats in a refurbishment programme in Nottingham.
All surfaces were finished with the company's Timonox Acrylic Eggshell. The requirement was to use a coating system which would reinstate the original Class O rating to circulation areas and escape routes to slow the potential spread of flame in the event of a fire.
As well as meeting British Fire Safety standards, the range has also been tested by Warrington fire to meet forthcoming European fire test requirements.
The product was also specified due to the wide selection of colours that are offered.
