At Barrie Spray Foam, we are proud to offer comprehensive fireproofing services in Barrie, Simcoe County, Muskoka, York Region, Grey Bruce, and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Our licensed team ensures your commercial, industrial, or institutional building meets all Ontario Building Code (OBC) fire safety standards, delivering long-term protection and peace of mind.
🔥 Why Fireproofing Is Crucial
Fireproofing in Barrie and surrounding regions is a critical step in modern construction. It provides passive fire protection by helping to prevent the spread of flames and delaying structural collapse in the event of a fire. This extra time allows occupants to evacuate safely and gives first responders more time to control the situation.
We specialize in spray-applied fire-resistant materials (SFRM) and intumescent coatings, tailored to suit your building’s design, function, and fire safety needs.
✅ Fireproofing Services We Offer
1. Spray-Applied Fire-Resistive Material (SFRM)
We use certified, non-combustible materials applied directly to steel beams, columns, and decks to help maintain structural integrity during high heat. This method is fast, effective, and ideal for:
- High-rise buildings
- Warehouses
- Schools and public buildings
- Hospitals and clinics
2. Intumescent Fireproof Coatings
These specialized paints expand when exposed to heat, forming a thick, insulating layer that protects the underlying material. Perfect for:
- Commercial fireproofing in Barrie
- Aesthetic interior spaces
- Exposed structural steel
- Gymnasiums, theatres, and retail stores
3. Firestop and Sealant Services
Firestopping blocks the movement of fire and smoke through openings in walls, floors, and ceilings. We install UL-rated sealants and wraps around:
- Electrical penetrations
- HVAC systems
- Plumbing lines
- Cable trays
🏗️ Compliant With Ontario Building Codes & Fire Safety Standards
Every project is completed in strict compliance with the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards. Our fireproofing installations help ensure your building meets or exceeds code requirements for:
- Fire-resistance ratings (FRRs)
- Egress pathways
- Fire compartmentalization
- Smoke and heat barrier continuity
Our team works directly with inspectors, architects, and engineers to complete all fireproofing according to design specifications, performance requirements, and applicable permit conditions.
🧾 Permits & Inspection Support
At Barrie Spray Foam, we assist you with the permit process for fireproofing in Ontario. This includes:
- Supplying Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- Providing engineering documentation
- Issuing installation certificates
- Coordinating on-site inspections with local building departments
We handle all documentation required for your project’s fireproofing scope so that your construction or renovation stays on schedule and passes inspection the first time.
🏢 Fireproofing for Various Building Types
Our fireproofing systems are designed to meet the distinct needs of a wide range of structures:
✅ Commercial Buildings
From restaurants and retail plazas to multi-use office towers, we deliver cost-effective fire protection that’s both durable and discreet. Intumescent coatings are often used in commercial fireproofing in the GTA where aesthetics matter.
🏢 Industrial Facilities
Warehouses, factories, and production plants require robust and rugged fireproofing for high-heat zones and structural steel. Our SFRM applications are ideal for load-bearing steel and open web joists commonly found in industrial spaces.
🏫 Institutional & Public Buildings
Schools, government buildings, and health care facilities must adhere to stringent fire-resistance ratings. We help these structures stay compliant with firestop systems, coatings, and sprays that protect high-traffic areas and vital infrastructure.
🏋️ Gyms & Recreational Centres
Modern gymnasiums and recreation centers often feature high ceilings, exposed trusses, and open-concept floor plans. Intumescent coatings provide effective fire protection without compromising design.
🏠 Multi-Unit Residential Complexes
Apartment buildings, condos, and dormitories benefit from firestopping in walls, floor assemblies, and service penetrations. We help reduce the spread of fire between units, enhancing occupant safety and protecting investments.
🚧 Fireproofing New Builds vs. Retrofits
New Construction Fireproofing
We work alongside general contractors and developers from day one, applying SFRM or intumescent coatings to structural steel and fire-rated assemblies before walls are enclosed. Our work integrates smoothly with your build schedule.
Fireproofing Retrofits & Upgrades
Older buildings often lack modern fireproofing solutions. Whether you’re repurposing a building or upgrading to meet code, we design retrofit strategies that fit existing infrastructure without unnecessary demolition.
🌱 Environmentally Friendly Fireproofing
We prioritize low-VOC, non-toxic, and environmentally conscious fireproofing materials whenever possible. Our coatings and sprays meet LEED standards and are safe for schools, medical environments, and green building projects.
