Intumescent Paint (Thermal Barrier Coatings)

Intumescent Paint provides a thermal barrier to the substrate it is applied to. This product is an excellent option that can provide savings for your project. The main benefit is that intumescent paint turns spray foam into a finished product. This can create cost savings by taking away the additional cost of installing a traditional thermal barrier such as drywall, gypsum board, or plywood. This application is more common in commercial application such as garages or warehouses. But, it can create a very unique look in a variety of situations and is being seen as a more common approach to finish projects like restaurants or venues. This product typically comes in variations of gray but can be painted over as per the manufactures specifications. We typically recommend a dark finish because it better hides the imperfections of the foam.
