Leighs Paints has a world class feel for intumescent coatings and is clearly recognised as being an innovator in passive fire protection coatings. Providing systems to suit both Cellulosic and Hydrocarbon scenarios, we have pioneered the use of intumescent coatings; especially for use in-shop where we work closely with fabricators.

Closer examination of the Firetex range shows both solvent and water based systems offering up to 2 hours fire protection to internal and externally exposed structural steelwork.

We also understand the need to offer expert advice, so we formed our Fire Engineering and Estimation Team which is led by qualified structural engineers.

The team is available at any time from initial concept through design, to sign off at the construction site. Equipped with CAD facilities they can prepare an individual client schedule that lists the material to use, the thickness of paint to be applied and an estimate of the overall paint quantity required. We take the strain away from you and help to ease your project pressures.

Our field operatives operate on a global basis to provide you with further practical support for peace of mind.

We ask our clients to voice their opinions on a wide range of subjects so that we can improve both our product and service offer. The Fire Research Centre focuses on new product developments using our in-house, comprehensive research facilities.

We also prefer to be actively involved in technical committees at the highest levels, such as ISO and BSI, so that you can be reassured that our product understanding and the guidance we offer you complies with the latest fire standards and regulations.

Our Firetex range of products can be seen on a variety of prestigious structures including Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport, London and the Dubai Flower Centre at Dubai Airport. We have also fire protected the Exxon Mobile Kizomba FPSO’s fabricated in Korea and the Encana (Nexen) Buzzard offshore oil production module where work was carried out in the UK.
