Fire retardant paint — also known as intumescent coating — is a specialized paint that expands when exposed to heat, forming a protective char layer that slows the spread of fire. It is required for exposed structural steel, wood surfaces, and certain wall and ceiling applications in commercial and residential buildings.

North American Fireshield applies fire retardant paint onsite to walls, ceilings, structural steel, and other surfaces in commercial buildings, residential high-rises, universities, and large-scale facilities throughout the NY Metro area and East Coast.

Our fire retardant paint applications meet Class A fire retardant standards and are certified by the relevant authorities. We issue a Certificate of Flameproofing upon completion, providing the documentation your building inspector or Fire Marshal requires.

This service is particularly valuable for NYC commercial and residential buildings undergoing renovation, new construction, or compliance remediation. We work with building managers, contractors, and property owners to ensure all surfaces meet current fire code requirements.
