The FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions) answers the most common questions. We invite you to consult this section before e-mailing us your question.

As this list is not exhaustive, if you wish to ask a question which does not feature on it, we invite you to contact our services.

 

Where can I find COMUS fire retardant varnishes and paints?

COMUS intumescent solutions and highly efficient professional paints are distributed by most paint dealers. Do not hesitate to send them our recommendation so that they can give you an estimate.

How long are the COMUS fire retardant varnish and paint classifications valid for?

Unless otherwise specified in the report, the classifications obtained are not limited in time but depend on the condition of the coating.

What is the cost of COMUS intumescent paints per m²?

As each site has its own constraints (preparatory works, structure accessibility, structural complexity, number of layers to be applied, application equipment etc.), it is very difficult to establish an estimate of the standard cost per m². However, it may be estimated that the weight of the paint often represents a limited proportion of the total cost of the installed structure delivered.

The level of performance desired by the contracting authority is not feasible within the scope of the certification report. What can I do?

In any case, the inspection office remains the sole authority with the responsibility of granting an exemption from the requirements: reduction in the desired stability time, use of a different substrate, use of other processes or technical hybrid solutions. Do not hesitate to contact them.

How to treat a wood frame?

In terms of fire resistance (also referred to as fire stability), no coating can help improve the intrinsic performance of wood frames. Resistance depends on how the actual structure is designed: wood species, construction method, thickness etc.

Can a door be transformed into a fire door?

No. The fire breaking performance of doors is governed by specific regulations. Each door can therefore have a specific fire breaking performance, depending on the door leaf and door frame, the nature of the materials used, the quality of the fittings, etc.
