Firesthetics by International Paint

Fire protection solution that doesn’t compromise aesthetics.

Firesthetics provides customized fire protection solutions for exposed steel designs using Interchar intumescent technology.

Architectural specifiers have long appreciated Interchar for its superior fire protection and aesthetic versatility. That’s because the intumescent material produces a “charring” effect when exposed to high heat, which creates a protective barrier to the steel beneath.

All Firesthetics architectural solutions have been fully fire-tested at Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and other accredited fire testing facilities. To date, these innovative fire protection options have been applied in concert halls, churches, fashion stores, universities, penthouse residencies, high-end commercial offices and museums.
