Fire Power: Dulux Trade Paint offers flame retardance in just two steps

Dulux Trade has launched a brand new extension to its revolutionary Pyroshield flame retardant range, which protects walls and ceilings and minimises flame spread in the event of a fire.

Dulux Trade Pyroshield Durable Matt is a water-based flame retardant upgrade system that can be applied directly to walls and ceilings covered in existing layers of potentially flammable paint. It will enhance the flame retardant performance of these surfaces from Class 3 (BS476 part 7) to Class O in just two coats, making it a cost-effective way to improve a building's safety credentials, with minimal disruption.

Flame retardant coatings such as the Pyroshield system play a vital role in reducing the rate of fire spread, helping buildings - from hospitals and offices to residential properties - meet fire classification requirements and comply with Building Regulations.

Giving a smooth, long-lasting matt finish, Dulux Trade Pyroshield Durable Matt is available in a wide range of colours through in-store tinting, proving that extra safety does not have to compromise style.
