Akzo Nobel Decorative Coatings - A textbook case for Crown Trade
Timonox
Crown Trade’s Timonox range of flame retardant paints has been
specified for the redecoration of the prestigious Altrincham Grammar
School for Boys in Cheshire. Paints from the range were selected for
the refurbishment of the school’s library due to their durability
and ability to allow surfaces to comply with fire safety
requirements.
Diamond Services, a leading North West provider of commercial and
domestic services, carried out the redecoration of the school’s
library and chose Timonox Acrylic Eggshell for application in this
high-use area.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order requires building owners
to carry out a fire risk assessment on their premises, and
highlights the potential hazard of flame spread across painted
surfaces as one of the elements that needs to be considered in such
an assessment.
Phillip Gilham, managing director of Diamond Services, commented:
“The busy, well-used library required a product which would deliver
exceptional protection against flame spread, as well as a durable,
high quality finish. Diamond specified Crown Trade Timonox for this
project as it is one of the few paints on the market that meets both
the highest Class 0 fire rating and the equivalent European Class B
rating, for walls and ceilings.
“As a result of the range’s proven effectiveness in slowing down the
spread of flames and helping to ensure the availability of safe
escape routes in the event of a fire, Diamond Services is now
recommending the use of Crown Trade Timonox to all customers,
especially for use in multi-occupancy buildings such as Altrincham
Grammar.”
Crown Trade Timonox has a 30 year history of protecting surfaces,
and slowing down spread of flame. The range is fully and extensively
tested and assessed by Bodycote Warringtonfire to both UK and
European test standards.
