Class 1 Fire Upgrading Systems

Class 1 Fire Upgrading Systems

Aug 7, 2017 | Brochures, NEWS | 0 comments |

Our range of Class 1 Fire Upgrading Systems enable proprietors, architects, surveyors and building managers to meet essential surface spread of fire standards. Our class 1 fire upgrade coatings are a quick and easy way to ensure compliance with building regulations that state a minimum of class 1 must feature on escape routes. The efficacy of our flagship class 1 fire upgrade products has been long-proven, and each offer long-term improvements to fire safety performance. Class 1 fire coatings are easily applied to well-adhered internal surfaces, and come in a range of colours and finishes to ensure the desired appearance. Our range can also include anti-graffiti properties, making them perfect for internal walls prone to vandalism.

The PPC Guide to Class 1 & 0 – Fire Upgrading Systems


The Warrington Blue Board has become the standard test substrate upon which all fire-upgrading coating systems are tested. The board is a multi layer painted test substrate used for assessing the performance of fire upgrading coating systems to simulating real life scenarios where surfaces may have had numerous redecorations. When ignited, it is designed to illustrate a worst case scenario in  terms of combustibility and rapid spread of flame.
