Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. How does fire retardant paint work?

Fire retardant paint slows down the spread of flames by forming a protective barrier when exposed to heat. Some coatings, like intumescent paint, expand and insulate the surface from extreme temperatures.

Q2. Can I use fire retardant paint on wood?

Yes! Fire retardant paints for wood are designed to reduce flammability and help protect wooden surfaces like doors, beams, furniture, and walls from fire damage.

Q3. Do fire retardant paints change the appearance of surfaces?

No, most fire retardant and flame control coatings have a smooth, paint-like finish and come in different colors. Some intumescent paints may have a slightly thicker texture due to their heat-expanding properties.

Q4. Is fire retardant paint a replacement for other fire safety measures?

No, it’s an added layer of protection. You should still follow fire safety regulations, install smoke alarms, and have extinguishers available.
