Fire Protection Solutions to protect life and maintain assets
Steel Functionality, appearance or both? You choose!
The Fire Estimation and Engineering Team (FEET) take the pain out of fire engineering using intumescent coatings. As FEET has a blend of structural experience and fire expertise.
Knowing what fire engineering is required to ensure value for money as well as a safe building is a challenge. One that FEET is here to address.
Comprised of qualified structural engineers the Fire Estimation and Engineering Team has over 60 years experience of structural steelwork. So the team understands not only the fire protection required, but the building itself.
Through early concept discussions with Architects and other specifiers, bespoke solutions are created. FEET are dedicated to delivering cost effective fire safe buildings. Leighs Paints is the only coating manufacturer to provide this service.
As well as advice we also have a number of other benefits for clients:
Product Calculator
FIRETEX Product Calculator software calculates the fire protection required for a particular structure.
With a wide range of steel sections and the latest legislation and guidance included in the software, the output is both accurate and practical.
Designed by engineers for engineers, find out the benefits this software can add to your work by contacting FEET.
FIRETEX QuickLink
For those who don’t have access to Product Calculator, the QuickLink is ideal. By using this spreadsheet, a customer can input the details of a structure and email it through to FEET.
As the name implies, the emphasis is on speed. Using the specifically designed spreadsheet, the data can be processed through Leighs specialist software and the output quickly returned to you.
Why not give it a go by downloading the FIRETEX QuickLink (compatible with Excel 97 onwards).
CPD Presentations
FEET has become heavily involved in contributing to the professional development of others through Continuous Professional Development presentations.
‘Toolbox’ or ‘lunchbox’ type seminars can be arranged so that FEET can share their knowledge and experience of fire engineering and choosing the correct coating solution.
Continuous Professional Development is offered with a Leighs Paints certificate for attendees.
