Is Embercoat effective on all materials?2025-02-25T16:35:13+10:00

Why do I need to have Embercoat fire-retardant paint applied by a certified installer?2025-02-25T16:35:22+10:00

The use of certified installers will provide the end user with documentation of the product used, what structures were covered, and that the method of application has been followed.

Can I just reapply the coating to damaged areas of the property after a fire event?2025-02-25T16:36:00+10:00

Yes. If affected by fire, Embercoat does not ash or flake, but just blackens which is a unique feature allowing a new coating to be applied over the affected area. This feature is particularly innovative as it allows for partial repairs to match the existing unaffected coating keeping repair costs to a minimum.

What is the storage life of the product?2025-02-25T16:35:46+10:00

If stored in conditions without extreme temperature change, Embercoat does not have a limited shelf life, and can be used prior to the next fire season.

If I want to match an existing colour not in the colour range, can I choose another shade?2025-02-25T16:35:34+10:00

Being a final coating, unlike other solutions available on the market, Embercoat is available in a standard 36 colour range (as per attached colour chart) but if a particular shade is required it can be produced at a small additional cost dependent on how many litres would be required.
