When embarking on a project that requires passive fire protection, ensuring every aspect is well-planned is crucial to achieving a seamless installation. Cryotherm offers expert solutions to meet your fire protection needs, but the success of your project often starts with a thorough brief. Here’s what to consider to help us deliver the best results for your project:
1. Request a Site Visit
For larger or more complex projects, a site visit can be invaluable. By seeing your site first-hand, we gain a better understanding of the scale, layout, and specific needs. This allows us to tailor our solutions, ensuring the protection systems we provide are perfectly suited to your project. Don’t hesitate to request a visit; it helps us add the most value when we have a complete picture of your requirements.
2. Know Your Project Inside and Out
Before engaging us, it’s important to gather all the key details about your project. These include:
– Size of Steel: Understanding the size and section (thickness) factor of the steel you’re using is essential. We’ll need to know the length and the type of steel structure to recommend the right fire protection solution.
– Quantity: Knowing the quantity of materials will help us plan accurately, ensuring we provide sufficient materials and people resource for the entire project.
– Desired Finish: Consider how you want the final product to look. Will it be a visible feature? Is it part of a wider architectural design or interior aesthetic? We offer a range of finishes to meet different design needs, including:
– Galvanized: For projects where a rougher texture is acceptable.
– Polyester and Leather Grade: Smoother finishes that suit interior applications.
– Food Safe: Ideal for environments where hygiene is a priority.
Each finish is available in a variety of colours, allowing you to achieve both passive fire protection functionality and aesthetic objectives.
3. Plan Ahead and Communicate Early
Effective planning is key to the success of any project. If you’re unsure about lead times, it’s important to reach out to us as early as possible. By discussing your project in advance, we can order materials in time, potentially store them if needed, and ensure everything is ready when you need it and at the best possible price.
Longer lead times also allow us to collaborate more closely with architects and designers. Whether your focus is on functionality or creating an attractive finished product, early communication ensures we can integrate passive fire protection seamlessly into the design. In our Cold Clad case study, we successfully worked this way to help the client save both time and money.
4. Create a Detailed Site Plan
A well-organized site plan is critical for a smooth installation process. We support you by providing a unique order number for each delivery, which indicates where our Rockliner columns casing system or Spiralite mineral rock wool board products need to be stored on-site. This also speeds up the installation process by making the necessary components easy to find.
With a clear plan in place, your project will proceed efficiently, and our team can focus on delivering high-quality products, on time.
