Fireproofing Paints and Steel Structure Fireproofing and Fireproofing Paint Services in Saudi Arabia
As Saudi Arabia continues to develop large-scale infrastructure and commercial projects, fire safety regulations have become more stringent than ever. One of the key requirements for structural integrity and code compliance is the use of fireproofing paints and certified steel structure fireproofing solutions.
At DTC, we specialize in delivering fireproofing paint services in Saudi Arabia that meet Saudi Civil Defense regulations — from design and product selection to certified application and inspection. Whether you’re building a high-rise in Riyadh, a warehouse in Dammam, or a mall in Jeddah, our solutions are engineered to protect lives and assets.
Why Fireproofing Steel Structures is Essential
Steel Fails Under Fire
While steel is non-combustible, it loses up to 90% of its strength above 600°C. This rapid degradation can cause the structural frame of a building to collapse in minutes without adequate fire protection.
Civil Defense Compliance
Saudi Civil Defense authorities require fire protection systems for structural steel in residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental buildings. Projects without proper certification risk shutdowns, fines, or failed inspections.
Passive Fire Protection (PFP)
Fireproofing paints form part of the building’s passive fire protection system, designed to resist the spread of fire and protect steel for up to 2 hours — giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Types of Fireproofing Paints for Steel in Saudi Arabia
1. Intumescent Paints
These coatings expand when exposed to high temperatures, creating a thick insulating char that slows down heat penetration.
-
✅ Aesthetic smooth finish
-
✅ Suitable for exposed architectural steel
-
✅ Common in malls, airports, and high-rises
2. Cementitious Fireproofing
Made from Portland cement or gypsum, this solution is ideal for industrial applications where appearance is secondary to function.
-
✅ Thicker, rugged coating
-
✅ Ideal for warehouses, plants, utility rooms
-
✅ Budget-friendly for large surfaces
