Vermiculite Application
Specialist Vermiculite Fire Spray Contractors NSW & Australia
What is Vermiculite Fire Protection?
Vermiculite-based spray coatings are a proven passive fire protection method used to increase the fire resistance level (FRL) of structural steel and concrete elements. The lightweight, non-combustible coating is applied directly to substrates, providing an insulating barrier that protects structural integrity during fire events.
FlameOff delivers vermiculite fire protection systems in compliance with NCC requirements and tested to Australian and international standards.
Where It's Used
- Structural steel beams, columns and connections
- Metal deck ceiling assemblies
- Car parks and basement structures

- Plant rooms and service risers
- New construction and retrofit/remedial projects
Benefits
- Tested and certified fire resistance ratings (FRLs)
- Excellent adhesion to steel and concrete substrates
- Fast application across large surface areas
- Lightweight, non-combustible application
- Cost-effective compared to board or blanket systems
- Minimal impact on structural load
