Service overview
How Vortexen delivers this capability.
Cementitious and spray-applied fire-resistive materials can provide durable protection for industrial and commercial structures when specified for the substrate and exposure.
Execution must control surface condition, bonding or mesh requirements, material mixing, applied thickness, curing, damage protection and testing.

Frequently asked
Answers before the first meeting.
01When is mesh or lath required?+
It depends on the tested system, member geometry, substrate and project design. It must not be omitted when the approved system requires it.
02How is quality checked?+
Controls can include surface inspection, material records, thickness measurement, density, adhesion or cohesion testing and repair records.
03Can damaged SFRM be reinstated?+
Yes, after confirming the existing system, damage extent, substrate condition and accepted repair method.
